"He is going to fly and if he lights on one of your heads I'll give that person twenty-five cents." A box was opened and in a twinkling a fine glossy, black crow perched on his master's arm. He took a good look around, then flew down into the midst of the audience, alighting on a lady's hat which he took a fancy to. Immed- iately the children forgot their prom- ises to be quiet and just couldn't help creeping up nearer and bursting with laughter as Tom called raucously: "No! No! Hello! Hello!" Then he per- ched on a proud little boy's head who sedately walked up, to the platform for everyone to see, only to fly down again to someone else until at last Tom was put back in his little box again and theefun was over. Before the lecture the kiddies had their own little program which everyone likes to hear. A draped cradle was filled gen- erously with white gifts and the Mis- sion School from the hollow heartily sang a couple of songs. _ zareUr BIRD MAN HEARD AT ENTERTAINMENT that the usual grant of $25.00 to the chairman, A.

Anderson had an un- limited amount of funds to lend, so had J. A. Dale (Principal of the pub- lic school).
