WANAMAKER'S Stere Closes at 5:30 Stere Opens at 9 With Thanksgiving Past We Can See Hew Clese C Wyrsi y '"T??T,T hristmasls Dr. Scudder, of a Yerk Family, Missionary te India? one of my earliest friends, by the goodness of Geerge u, Stuart, told me this, beginning with "Baby Is I have a little fable, en this wise. The birds all came together te elect a King. A venerable old owl was the chairman. There was a great rustling .of ffings and much chattering among the birds. At last a leng-legg6d crane get up and offered this resolution:' "Resolved, that the bird which can fly the highest shall 'be our King." Tnat was unanimously carnea. Then all the birds, the eagles, buzzards, hawks, humming birds, bullfinches, blackbirds and the rest flashed up into the sky. One by one they became tired and dropped down again, but there was one that was net tired. That was the eagle. He flew higher than all the, ethers. He stepped, balanced himself in the sun and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am your King." Just then, le and beheld, a little wren who had nestled en the back of the eagle among his big feathers and had a free passage all the way, a regular little deadhead, sprang up and looked down en the eagle and laughed at him and said, "Net a bit of it, Sir! I am. above you and I am King." Docter Scudder wound up by saying our Babies are always Kings. Out of some sober thinking backward sixtv years, recalling the eagles of scholarship, wealth and opportunity in the new American Republic, whose fathers flew high te lift up and endow their sons with the fervent expectation that they would make Philadelphia the best city in the world because of its birth and heritage.
