JOHN JANE S AUDUBON.

a friend of George Washington. In
1774 Admiral Audubon purchased
mill Grove" a charming residence
on the SchuyIkll river, in Pennsyl-
vania, which became the home of his
son, John James Audubon (for whom
this society is named) when he was
IL years old. Here young Audubon
led a most enjoyable and congenial
life,--hunting, fishing, drawing or
music occupied every moment. He
says, mill Grove was ever blessed
spot to me. / seldom pass a day
without drawing bird or noting
something of its habits" By so do
ing he was preparing himself for
what finally developed into his great
and world-renowned book, the birds
of America"
Soon after coming to Mill Grove,
Audubon met Miss Lucy Blackwell
1.-THE daughter of an English gentle
man owning the adjoining estate),
whom he married April 8, 1908. Soon
after, they left Mill Grove for Louis
vile, KY, to there establish a home
and business. After some two years
this was abandoned, for as Audubon
says, 81 could not bear to give the
attention to my business it required,
therefore it abandoned me: I was al
ways intent on the study Of birds,
but all about me were impressed with
the value of dollars. All l cared for
in my business were the journeys l
could take, as they gave me time to
study birds and their habits in the
forests of Ohio, Kentucky and Penn
sylvania." "Were | to tell you that
once, when travelling and driving sew
eral horses before me, laden with
goods and dollars, lost sight of the
pack saddles and the cash they bore,
to watch the motions of a warbler,
should only repeat what happened a
hundred times and more in those
days" Disappointments and bust
ness failures followed Audubon, but
his lovely wife, bravely sharing his
misfortunes, helped by teaching, to
provide for themselves and their
two children-always having faith in
his talents, his wonderful bird pic.
lures, and of his ultimate success.
Audubon drew portraits in crayon
taught drawing, painting and dane
ing, meanwhile journeying as far a!
the Great Lakes, studying and paint
ing birds. From a most successful
dancing class in the winter of 1926
he realized two thousand dollars
with this and the savings of his wife
Audubon left America for England
in April, 1926, carrying with him hi
portfolio of drawings, hoping in tina
foreign land to find encouragement
and financial aid sufficient for him tt
begin the publication of his lif'
work.

Nicholas girls has grown, until it
has come to be very wide and beau
tiful charity.
When this Christmas work was
planned it was decided that the St.
Nicholas Girls Christmas tree should
be just little different from other
trees, in that it should shed its won
derful brightness into the lives of the
children on the morning of Christ
mas, that day of days when the gift
is all the dearer to the heart of the
child, because it is touched by the
magic radiance of the Christmas
spirit. So each Christmas morning at
ten o'clock the great tree blossoms
out for the children, with wonderful
colored lights, and there are gay dolls
and horns and bats and balls and
candies and nuts and apples and
oranges, and the many fruits of the
Christmas tree, without which no
Christmas day would be complete.
The first year of the big Christmas
tree was held In the old McHugh store
on Garden street, the next year there
was Santa Claus postoffice, and the
children's Christmas letters were an
swered by jolly Santa Claus post
man, last year the big tree fruited
at the armory hall, and it is probable
that here again it will be placed this
year. In addition to the Christmas
tree at the armory hall last year
there was the beautiful municipal

Saint Nicholas Girls
Il Christmas Tree Il

According to her beautiful annual
custom, the st. Nicholas Girl, with
the help of the generous Pensacola
public which has made her work pos
sible during the past few years, viii
have large Christmas tree on Christ
mas morning, for the children of Pen
sacola-those little ones whom Santa
Claus loves, but who, in some way, he
is not able to reach except through his
loving and faithful helper, The st.
Nicholas Girl.
At this season of the year the heart
turns naturally to the children, and
the sympathies go warmly out to
them. Each year now since the win
ter of 1913, have the st. Nicholas Girl
and her friends given of their time
and effort to make Christmas day
happy for the children. 1t is won
derful and a most beautiful work that
the st. Nicholas Girl is doing, but it
would not be possible for her unless
you helped-you men and women and
little children of Pensacola, who give
of your plenty or your penury, in
order that Christmas may be blessed
time for the children-those little ones
who are your wards, because in some
way fortune has forgotten to smile
upon them, and make life as easy
and as happy and as beautiful for
them as for your own little brood.
Year by year the work of the st,

Christmas tree, which was lighted
each evening in Mallory court, and
about which carols were sung on
Christmas eve. This tree was placed
and lighted by the Pensacola Elec-
trio Company, its only object being
to add to the brightness of Christ
mas, and with its lights and its
Christmas star, to remind the world
that Christmas is a season of good
will to all men.
1t is hoped this year not only to
have all the gracious features which
have made the st. Nicholas Girls
Christmas celebration so beautiful
and so helpful in the past, but to
make it happier anniversary, if
possible, and to bring not only child
ish gifts, but much of comfort into
the lives of the children.
So far as is compatible with the
work, The Journal hopes that the
gifts will be voluntary. The big
Christmas tree will take care of many
children, and the lists of contributors
will be published, as in the past. Do
not think that because your gift must
be small that it is of no account in
this work. 1t is the small gifts which
make the Christmas work what it is
"a work of love for all of us to do
for the children, together.
Several entertainments will be Civ
en- for the st. Nicholas fund, and
| these will be announced later.

A decided impetus was given the
interest in bird preservation through
the visit of Miss Isabel Goodhue, field
agent of the Florida Audubon Soc
iety, to Pensacola, and number of
branch societies have been organized
in the various grades of the public
schools. The pupils and others who
wish to lend their aid in preserving
the bird life of Florida, viii read the
following story with the greatest in
terest:
It will naturally be most interest
ing to those who live in the South
to know that Audubon was born
about 1880, in the state of Louisiana,
twenty miles from New Orleans. Al
though he was of French parentage,
he always called America his
home, "his own beloved country
He scarcely remembered his own
mother, for his childhood was spent
in France with his stepmother, whom
he fondly loved, who so INDUCED his
love of nature that finally it became
the one absorbing pleasure of his
life. Audubon, in writing to his
children says, Instead of applying
to my studies, I preferred spending
the day in the woods, fishing and
shooting"
Admiral Audubon, his father, was
during these years in America, where
in the revolutionary war, he served
under General Lafayette and became

some three years. Everywhere he
met with an enthusiastic welcome,
and such cordial sympathy, that his
untiring efforts met with the success
he had hoped. In 1929 he returned to
America to gather material to COM
| plete his work, sufficient number
of subscribers having been secured
to make its publication assured. It
was not, however, until 1888 that the
four great volumes, containing 1865
/ life size portraits of birds were COM
pleted, and one hundred and seventy
five copies printed.
In the Florida Journals, we read,
that in 1882 Audubon was at st. Au-
gustine, on the St. Johns river, at
Indian Inlet, Indian Key, Key West,
and the various keys south of Flor
ida. He laments the wholesale de-
struction of the live oaks, these mag
nificent trees being ruthlessly de-
stroyed by the woodsmen, who cut
down, not only those that can be
sold, but hundreds that are left to
decay on the ground. He is most
enthusiastic about the birds. He
sees "pelicans, cormorants, egrets
herons, gulls and tern all fearlessly
happy in the trees, swamps, or or
the water" "Flocks of birds, thou
sands, everywhere" He writes
"there we were, the nests of -four
hundred cormorants over our heads
"Rose- colored curlews stalked grace
fully beneath mangroves." Purple
herons rose at every step we took
and each cactus supported the nest OF
white ibis, while great f1ocks OF
birds overhead, as they passed
seemed like Clouds" "The air was
darkened by the whistling wings
while, on the waters, floated beauti-
full purple gallinulesl"
While on the keys at the very
south of Florida, he writes, "Our boat
lay on her side on the sand, looking
not unlike a whale reposing on {
mud bank. The birds in myrids were
about us. There great f1ocks Of
ibises fed apart from equally large
collections of godwits, and thousands
of herons gracefully paced along
ever and anon, thrusting their jave
lin bills into the body of some unfor
tunate fish confined in a small poo
of water, of fish-chows l could no
estimate the number" In all his re
searches Audubon allowed no slaugh
ter or ruthless killing of the birds
no one more truly loved and protected
them, for he always felt that 9Th,
love of animals develops the bette,
side of all natures"
Il Sir Walter Scott writing about /:
visit he had from Audubon in 1927
says, "He has great simplicity o
manner and behavior, slight in per
son, plainly dressed, wears long hair
which time has not tinged, his coun
tenance acute, handsome, interesting
but simplicity is his chief character
istic. His drawings are of the frs
order, while the attitude of his bird
most animated"
Audubon was generous to fault
while his ready sympathy endeare
every one to him. With a child-liks
buoyant nature he never brooded owe
misfortune, as long as he had healt
and could be in the open air, he coul
not feel depressed. In 1912 Audi
bon moved to New York, where o
the shore of the Hudson river, a
what is now known as Audubo
Park, he lived with his, wife SUI
rounded by his children and child
ren's children until his death in 1851
