When Santa Claus Called On Little Pearl

No. it Is only right that at a certain time in life you should cutgrow Santa Claus. just as you outgrow your last years shoes and frocks. and just as you get too big to play with dcllies and become great girls in age and size. leaving the coast clear for the little ones who are coming into the world each year to fill the things you have outgfown. So, my dear. don't be too hard on those who no longer take an ln- terest In me. IL Is safe to say that no longer take an interest in them. Their names are stricken on my visiting list, and in my factory their letters no longer come ordering certain gifts made for their friends and themselves. An. this

The Screamer Bird of South America.

legs it seems closely related 10 the lat fer. But unlike the goose. Its toes are not connected by web
 The Screnmer is a most peculiar bird in habits. He is fond of soaring In the sir at a tremendous altitude, giving vent to a piercing cry which fairly rents the air. Sometimes there will be whole socks of them congregated together 10 soar and sing, giving forth their \un- musical song in denfening chorus. One writer of the screamer hrs this to say of their fondness for their own music:
 "On one Occasion they surprised me by an overpowering burst of melody nigh !n the heavens. This salutation was made to me by half million of voices at an out-of-the-way spot in the psmpss one evening at o'clock" And the same same writer goes on to tell Of having heard tbe same sort of Screamer music at noon on another occasion. They. the Screamers, sang their chorus "round the entire circuit of certain fake, each aock waiting its turn to sing. and only stop ping when their duty had been per formed"
 Each wing of the screamer Is equipped with a pair of sharp spurs, powerful in strength. and doubtless used in times of conflict with enemies.
