child mentioned in the Bible?" You
answer glibly, "Job; he cursed the
day he was born" you've heard that
one before" says Nat.
Then you give Nat this one:
Every lady in this land
Has twenty nails upon each hand
Five and twenty on hands and feet;
And this Is true without deceit.

or. You repeat the doggerel, and are
required to do so again and again.
ITS nonsense!" declares Cousin
John.
Hold onl" says Cousin Nat.
There is some catch in the punctu-
alton" And while the rest continue
to puzzle, he takes out a pencil and
an envelope and writes the thing
down. 1--WE got IT," lie announces, and
reads:
Every lady in this land has twenty
nails;
Upon each hand FIVE; and twenty on
hands and feet.
Everybody laughs and Uncle George
says, "That's a good one" then the
conundrums fly thick and fast. Be-
fore you know it the family is called
in to eat cold turkey and other fixings
left from dinner.
You spend the evening cracking
jokes, and you pop corn, eat candy,
and commit various ~gastronomic enor-
mites. But who cares? Christmas
comes but once a year! What II one
should feel logy tomorrow? 1t Is
worth it. To everybody's surprise,
the tall clock In the hall booms twelve.
And the folks say goodnight and go
to bed.
You go up to your room-the room
you always have had and always will
have. The lights are on. There is u
CHEEKY fire on the hearth. The bed
clothes are turned down and your
pajamas laid out. Your mother has
been there. You close the door and
look around.
There is the %chiffonnier that your
father gave you for a birthday pres

peer in. Your shotgun is right where
you left it. You think of what Chuck
Andrews said about the wild turkeys
and the quail-"Oh, boyr
There is a tap at the door. Your
mother comes In. 81 just wanted to
tell my boy goodnight" You and she
sit down on the edge of the bed and
talk; then she says, "Now you must
go TO bed and get some rest" and she
hugs and kisses you and goes out.
You step to the window and raise
the sash. The full moon is shining as
only a Southern moon can shine. The
air is frosty and perfectly still. Far
off a dog is barking. You hear a COW
lowing softly. A rooster, fooled by
the moon, crows for daylight. Down
in the village the chimes ring out
from Matlin tower:
Lord, through this hour be Thou NJ,
guide,
That In Thy power / may abide.
You put down the window, undress
and climb into those pajamas tina
your mother has laid out. You ex
tinguish the light. And the next thin,
you know you are on your knees b,
the side Of the bed. You have beer
skipping that sort of thing lately.
You crawl in between the sheet

ALASKA EAGLES ARE
 DISAPPEARING SAYS
 I. GILBERT PEARSON
REGENT VISITOR IN SEWARD; PRESIDENT OF AUDUBON
 SOCIETY

NEW YORK, Oct. 5. (P)-That the American Eagle in Alaska is disap- bearing under the bounty system in augurated in 1917 by the Territory, is the report given out today by Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the Nat ional Association of Audubon Socie- ties, who has just returned from an extended trip to Alaska.
 There are many of these eagles left," said Dr. Pearson, 'but from what I saw and learned on all hands it is very plain that the bird is far less numerous than few years ago. A day spent hunting eagles between Ket- chikan and Haines, a distance of 88 miles, resulted in the finding of 37 of these great birds. In other sections of the coast found them scarce. Off, ficial records of the bounties paid up to August 4, 1927, as supplied me by Karl Thiele, secretary of Alaska, show ed that the feet of 40,753 eagles had been turned in for the $1 bounty (formerly 50 cents)."
 Dr. Pearson also stated that on all sides the eagles are regarded as des- tructive to fish, ptarmigans, young mountain sheep, lawns, and young blue foxes. "I found 1t very difficult, however, to find people who had actu- ally seen eagles performing any of these depredations, aside from eating fish. Some observers told me that the majority of fish taken by the eagles was on the spawning grounds where after the fish have performed the biological functions they lie in dead or dying condition. As many as { one or two hundred eagles often gath CT along the lower reaches of. salmon stream. Suggestion was made to me at various quarters that the eagle had now been so reduced in numbers that Alaska might very we'll discon- tinue the bounty. Others questioned whether Alaska is getting sufficient return for the money expended in the bounty system. The chief center of abundance of the bald eagle is along the southern coast in the neighbor' hood of the salmon streams. During 2,oOo miles travel in the Interior of the Yukon and Alaska I saw only one pair of bald eagles. Tn the mountains one finds the golden eagle, which in no way exists in such abundance as does the bald eagle along the coast. 7
