ception last evening. The occasion was

taste was manifested in the embellish-

orchestral melodies and the thrOng of

animation.

Birds have separate notes OF warning to
indicate whether the danger is in the form
of a hawk or cat, or Of man. If hawk
cat or owl Is on the move, the bird, espe-
cially blackbirds, always utter a chattering
note, constantly repeated, and chickens have
a special sound to indicate the presence of a
hawk. But when disturbed by man the
blackbirds have quite a different sound of
alarm and the chickens. also. Animals on
the march are usually silent; but the hamad
ryad balloons use several words of command:
and the cries of cranes and geese when fly
ing in ordered focks are very possibly sig
nails or orders.
Every one who has kept dogs knows the
tone of the bark of request low "wouf, :"
very unlike the staccato bark Of anger, or
vexation, or remonstrance.
The Cleveland school authorities have Is
sued pledge which they will ask the chill

Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller, who has de-
voted her life to the preservation of birds,
spoke recently to a large audience at Co

ly ladies, and many Of them bore visible
signs in their bonnets of transgression
against the principles which Mrs. Miller is
trying to have enacted into laws.

There is an earnest effort being made, es-
pecially among the Southern women, to effect
a national organization of women to secure
distinctively American woman's exhibit''
at the Paris exposition. They object to the
fact that in the appropriation made for the
great fair no provision was made for the
women. Among those backing the project
are women of national reputation.

New York for the express purpose of waging

the supposedly luckless thirteen. The mem

Of thirteen. They dined together on the
thirteenth of every month. thirteen at table,
and their club dues were thirteen cents q
month. 1t will be remembered that only a
short time ago similar institution was es-
tablished in England, and an entertainment
was given at which knives were crossed, salt
was spilled, Deaths heads and cross-bones
ornamented the walls, and the walters were
chosen because they squinted and possessed
the evil eye The American club periodically
published reports to prove that individually
and collectively, they were as healthy, pros
porous and long-lived as other members OF the
community; nor, so far as we are aware, did
any serious calamity fall upon their daring
imitatOrs in England.

The floors should be of hard wood or

perhaps canary or two.

st. Paul woman commenting on nursery
construction, said:
When we first built here, my husband
thought that OF the nursery floor at least,
We should have a heavy, soft carpet-other-

painful attitude and ask Where in the world

everything about the nursey perfectly clean,
he finally gave in, and permitted the carpet

To The Globe.
Dear Friends: Since you asked me to
tell you how our society came to be called
the Audubon. will now tell you Our
society used to be called the Monroe
Guards. We take special care Of the birds,
but do not forget the other animals. Au-
dubon gave his whole life up to the study
of bir5s.
He was born In Louisiana, May 4, 1850.
When he was very young he loved to
keep birds as pets, and often tried to
make pictures of them. His father was an
army officer in the French navy, and
seeing the talent of the boy sent him to
Paris to study under David.
In 1898 he came back to the United
States and settled on a farm in Pennsyl-
vania. He lived most Of his time in cave
that he called his studio. 1t consisted OF
paper, pencils and a volume OF tales. He
loved not only birds and flowers, but no
BILE woman, named Miss Lucy Blackwell,
whom he afterward married
Nothing could keep him at home. He
went into the loneliest places, and into
thousands of dangers. While he was there
he drew many pictures of birds from ma
ture. but being unfortunate they were de-
J stroyed.
He ate no meats. and lived chiefly on
fruits, vegetables and fish. He drank no
intoxicating drinks and disliked going to
dinner parties. His only extravagant
fancy was for fine dress. He would hunt
in satin breeches, wear pumps and the
finest rufled shirts that could be gotten
from Paris. but in later life he dressed
like backwoodsman or Indian.
Ten years later he moved to Henderson,
KY, and there he spent many years in
the woods. After mis- marriage his father
advised him to go into business, but like
Abraham Lincoln commercial life was
not for him. In order to carry out his
commercial ventures he lived at Louis
ville New Orleans, Richmond, Cincin-
natl ena elsewhere.
When he was forty-two years Old, owing
to his business failures, he was compelled
to take up portrait, drawing and crayon.
His students got ahead of him, and
during the first two months of 1922 he
could not buy book in which to write
his journals. but his kind, noble wife
taught school, music and dancing.
In the year 1926 he went to England.
and published book called Birds of
America 1t contained life-sized pictures
of the birds in their own surroundings.
1t was to contain six volumes and one
copy was to cost one thousand dollars. He
began another book called "Quadrupeds
of America but he died before it was
finished, and his sons finished 1t.
He died in New York, Jan. 81 1851
just forty-seven years ago the day our
society had Its entertainment-at the age
of seventy-one. His works made him we'll
known, and America shall always be proud
of him Yours sincerely,
Mabel Bessie Kirch.
