And gone and done the thing again,
For wore but humans, after all.

And dark brown vapors. strenks OF blue,

That grips tho soul and murdered laughter
That thick-tongucd misery that comes
To mock you on tho morning after!

And you and he, and we and they.
And all who wear this mortal gulse
May have our fling. but We shall pny

james Audubon. an American ma.
ti"nalist and bird lover, who did per
maps more than any other man TO in
terest Americans in their native birds,
was born in Meadvillc. La. of French
parents. in 1850. He studied In
France. In 1898 he settled near Phil
adc!ph!"- where lie lived for ten
years. devoting himself TO the study
"i birds. Later he spent considera bic
time III the West. wandering through
The woods in close touch with his
tcathercd friends. In 1926 Audubon
went To England. exhibiting his Lird
drawings. which he finally published
IN work containing i35 colored
plates or birds the size of life en-
titled THE Birds Of America" A copy
of this complete work today is worth
small fortune.
on his return to America Audubon
lahorcd on an illustrated work. THE
Quadrupcls OF America" Audubon
never Instituted any movement for
the preservation OF birds. for in his
day much of the country was wild,
and II looked as though there were
no danger of birds ever becoming ex-
tlnct. 1T was his genuine love for
the feathered folk that caused the
Audubon Society to be named for him.
The Audubon Society has done much
to prevent wanton destruction and to
create n sentiment against the wear
Ing of birds and feathers on millinery.
1t is largely due to Audubon socie-
ties throughout the country tina,
large tracts OF ground have been sot
apart as bird reservations. The ma.
tional Office OF the organization is in
