AUDUBON AND THE BIRDS Interesting Story ot tbe Life of a Great Man-How He Won Lasting Feme. "Stories of Great Americans for little Americans." John James Audubon knew more about the birds of this country than any one had known before. He was born iuthe state of Louisiana. His. father took him to France when he was a boy aud there he went to school. The little John James was fond or studying about wild Bnimals, but most of all he wished to know apout birds. Seeing that the boy liked such things his father took pains to get birds and flowers for him. While he was yet a boy in school he began to gather birds and other animals for himself. He learned to skin and stuff them, but his stuffed birds did not please him. Their feathers did not look bright, like those of live birds. He wanted live birds to study. His father told him that he could not keep so many birds a live and to please the boy he got him a book with pictures in it. Looking at these pictures made John James wish to draw. He thought that he could make pic tures that would look like the live birds, but when he tried to paint a picture of a pird, - it looked worse than his stuff ea birds. The birds he drew were not much like real birds and ne called them a "family of cripples." Ail of this time he was learning to draw birds. They were not just like the real birds. So when he grew to be a man he went to a French painter whose name was David. David taught him to draw and paint things as they are. .Then he came back to this country, and lived a while in Pennsylvania, where his chief study was the wild creatures of the woods. He gathered many birds' eggs and made pictures of these eggs. He did not take the eggs to break up the nests. He was not cruel. He took only what he needed to study, He made up his mind to write .... a great pooK about American birds, and in another book to print pictures oi birds lust a? large as the birds themselves He ment to have them look jnat like living birds. To do this he must travel many thousands of miles and live fcr years almost all of the time in the woods. He would have to find the birds in order to make pictures of them, and he must see how the birds lived, and how they built their nests, so that he could tell all about them. It would take a great deal of work and trouble, but he was not a fraid of trouble. That was years ago. Mucb of our country was then covered with great trees, and Audubon often had to travel on foot through woods where there were no roads. Many a time he had to sleep out-of-doors. Finally he lost his money and became poor, sometimes he had to paint portraits to get money to ive on, but he did not give up his great idea. He still studied birds, and worked to make-his books about American birds. After years of hard work: he made paintings of nearly a thous and birds, which were almost enough to fill his books. But, while he was traveling, two rats got into the box in which he kept his pictures, and cut lip all of his paintings with their teeth and made a nest of the pieces This I almost broke his heart for a while. For many nights he could not sleep, because he had lost all of his work. But he did not give up. After some nays he went in to the woods, saying to himself, "I will begin over again. I can make better paintings than those the rats spoiled." But it took him four and a half long years to find the birds and make the pic tures again He was so careful to have his drawings just like tha birds that he would measure them in every way. Thus he made his pictures just the size of the birds them selves. At last the great toks were printed. In this country, in Franca, and in England, people praised the wonderful books. They knew that Audubon wj?,s indeed a great man. MargarettsvIUe News.

Caught In Gin Belt and Killed Mar riage ul Ward Hlnes-Personal and Geiipral News. i Robarr, Lassiter.an industrious j colored man.tmployed in the en gine r'.'tm at A. J. Pearce's gin, became entangled, by some means in one of the belts and was badly manned last week. The shock was so great that ha did ao re- cover consciousness und died in a lve u ' nt r;ei"s 01 tne'r C'11K' shoniime. So sudden andunex-!ren " -P lh''m of school pected a calamity is universally; deplored and our people are agreed in expressing sympathy and regret. Miss Ethtl Ward and Mr. Ab ram Hines, two of our popular young people, were quietiy mar ried last Wednesday evening at the residence of Mr. J. O. Ward, father of the bride, at 8:30 P.M. Mr. A. C. Sherwood, pastor of the bride, officiated and only a few witnessed the plighting of their marital vows. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. O- Ward and the happy groom is a son of Mr. Frank Hines, who lives a few miles from Winton. Having spent a few days at the Taylor House the young couple have gone to their home in the country where they will take up a farmer's life. In spite of the inclement weath er last Monday, a large number of people were in attendance up onthe meetings of the Commis sioners and the Board of Educa tion. Judging from the interest displayed considerable business must have been transacted most ly of a routine nature. W. P. Taylor, representative elect to the General Assembly, who has been a little sick, was out on Monday shaking hands with the people. He went to Raleigh on Tuesday in order to be present at the organization of the legislature. His friends are hoping that he will be blessed with good health during his stay in Raleigh. Miss" Lucille Story, who has been spending the holidays here with her people, has had Misd Cato with her during her short stay at home. They both left Winton this week, the former for her situation in ?outh Caro lina, the latter for har home. Judge wicborne, who was in attendance upon Commissioners Court on Monday, was showing signs of disability from a recent attack. His friends are hoping for him a speedy and complete restoration to his usual vigor. Mrs. B. E. Copeland and chil dren, Margaret and Harry, came last Friday to visit at the home of her parents. On Sunday she was joined by her husband and accompanied him home on Mon day. ";.'.. A sister, of Mrs. A. C. Sher wood, who came la3t week from lennessee on a visit and was taken sick upon her arrival, is fortunately convalescing very satisfactorily and will it is hoped soon be well again. The Chowan church, left with out a pastor by the resignation of Mr, Sherwood, has as yet ma tured no plans to supply the va-; .. . . . . . cancy, -. vine Episcopal cnurcn will be in the same condition as Mr. Gibble goes to Burlington soon. Mr. Read, recently as signed -to the Methodist church, has not yet paid a visit to his people in Winton. Mr. J. E. Jones, Deputy Sheriff and keeper of the county jail, has been confined to hid room with an affection of the neck and shoulders for quite a month. He is able to sit up but unable to do any work. . His condition is re ported as being more favorable recently and hij friends hope to see him' out'feoon. ; 1 Send ibe CMdrea V) School. Monroe J. urnul. v ' If you have a iifeijihbor who dots ot rea'l, urge him to keep his ciii'drcn in school every d:iy he pos:i.ly can. Of oource men and w imsn who can read and take ;'HW5riapcr3 are too much lor eve. i a any snort our public school term is if they can possibly hxve them in school. But here and there is a man who ha no education himself, who can hardly read, who says that his children do not need more schooling than he got. Do your best for such a neighbor for his children's sake. Until the law gets in behind such a man and makes him send his children to school a3 it will do before a great many more years come and go use your best efforts at per suading him to send his children to school at least four months during the year.

But generally the victim's conviction that he cannot get well and that he must die paralyzes and destroys the disease resisting power of the body, so that there is nothing to check the malady, which may be fatal only because of the loss of faith and the patients conviction that he cannot recover.
