as IL advisable for young lady In

pecuniavy considerations 10 adopt the
stage as a prolesslon?"
This question is brought home to roe
with great force by letter which
received q short time ago from a great
friend OF mine In my native State,
Alabama. She knew that l had for
saken the drawing room for tho foot
lights, aud she attached more value
than was proper perhaps 10 my opinion.
Not that ] have not very decided views
on the subject. There is no calling in
the world so difficult 10 break away

the theatrical profession.
But what a difficult question II IL 20
answer properly! Ny Alabama friend
Is yoGnS and rich, aud beloning TO one
OF our oldest Southern families, has an
entree 70 any society.
What place has she on the stage?
She has talent, and II she adopts our
profession will undoubtedly be- great
success.
All persons arc happier II they have
some conRonial work in life, so why
should wealth aud position debar a
woman from the stage If she feels that
Is her vocation?
We AZ once say No" But then the
other side. She will work for a salary
that a woman who is absolutely Deepen
dent on her profession cOuid not posi-
bly, accept. So II she is good actress.
the society girl certainly has great ad-
vantage.
But is the fame that ono may possibly
gain on the stage compensation for une-
half tho tears aud hoartaches that in
vGrably accompany IL?
Just burst OF applause, a littlesuc-
cess, and all the trials and humiliations
are forgotten. You may think that

PULLED DOWN THE FLAGS.
KANSAS GRAND ARMY MEN ARE Ex.
cEEDINGLY SENSITIVE.
Claim That the Flags Of the National suE:.
frage Association are an Insult TO
the Stars and Stripes and
Pull Them Bown.

HIAwATHA, Kan, Jan. 80 A sensa-
ton has been caused here by the ac-
ton of few members ofEathe ccaI
Grand Army of the Repnblicspost in
tearing down flags raised by ladies of
the Equal Suffrage association to COM
memorate Kansas day. The ladies' had
hung across the main street two flags
having the regulation stripes and but
three yellow stars taking the plaza of
the regulation A in the field. This is
the regularly adopted emblem of the
National Suffrage association, two of
the stars standing for the states of
Wyoming and Colorado which grant
the right of suffrage to women, while
the third star, just showing above the
edge of the field, is supposed to repre-
sent Kansas. A few loc ii grand army
politicians, headed by one of their
number who had just paid a fine of
5000 for violating the proaibitory
law, saw in this a desecration of the
flag and proceeded to tear the offend.
ing emblem down. The better element
of the Grand Army of the Republic
are said to condemn the action OF their
comrades.

UvALDE, Tex, Jan. &7-Word has
been received here of horrible holo-
caust at Sab;nal, in this county. Little
Annie aud Joe, children of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. @. Mitchell, aged and years
respectively, were playing in the loft
Of the sta ble in the rear OF the Mitchell
hotel, wherein 20 bales of hay had just
been stored. Suddenly flames we're
seen to shoot from the stable. The
alarm was given and q crowd instantly
gathered to fight the flames. 1t soon
became apparent that the two children
were missing. Instant seach disclosed
that they were last heard playing in
the loft. Every effort was made to
rescue them, but it was beyond hui
man power. The grief of the parents
was pitiful to behold. The mother
had to be forcibly restrained from
rushing into the flames in her des-
perate effort to rescue her babies. 1t
required the most heroic efforts to pre-
vent the burning of the hotel, the rear
of it being very near the stable. The
