immediate echo and attention. But
here the papers fill what space they
have land 1t is little enough with liter
airy and political chit-chat. The editori-
al page overfows and swamps the whole
sheet, and the news is neglected. This
means that the poor sre left without
champion. The law here, as in all coun-
tries except America and England, Is
Tor the rich, not for the poor; for the
strong, not for the weak. Just as
cruelty to horses fails to arouse indig-
nation In Paris, cruelty to children fails
to attract the attention OF justice. There
Is a moment Of horror when each new
case Is disclosed, but the emotion ia
local. In America, Il a child in a re-
mote village Of the Mohawk Valley is
abused, the papers speak with voice
which is not to be disregarded. BY the
aggregate Of such cases, reported in de-
tail, the public are impressed; laws are
enacted and enforced; the children are
protected. But IL only the one little
community knew of each crime, no
moral effect would be produced, and
that Is practically the case in France.
They have not yet had time to forget
the case Of little Victor Tennissen, In
Paris. whose mother, during three long
hours, hammered the floor with his
head, crying: will you never die,
beasti"
( And on the frail body of this 5-year-
old boy were no less than twelve bleed
ing cavities from which the flesh had
been torn by the mothers teeth.
He stole my sugar" said the woman;
that was the justification. And the
court seemed to find some warrant In
this provocation, for she was sentenced
to only eighteen months imprisonment
Aline Lesage is serving her two years
for having tortured one of her step
children to death and brought the other
SO near the same release that he lies in
the hospital to-day. And she was only
two-and-twenty years Of age, "a most
pleasant faced woman" She beat the
children until the little girls body
contained no uninjured bones" and
when at last the police came Aline was
at her washtub. conscientiously wiring
ing out the sheets, with the dead,
broken body lying on the bed.
She was mot bad sort of woman
otherwise" People may be clearly
and chaste and industrious. and yet
pluck the wings from flies. Aline gave
the cat crusts to play with instead Of
spools. and when the cat pushed crust
under the table the starving children
would creep to steal 1t. Here again
there was no question Of drunkenness
or savagery; the woman was decent
body in her way. That is the dreadful
part OF such stories; that is what makes
one shudder.
People who are in love with the liter
airy daintiness of the French press when
they first come to live In Paris soon be-
gin to read in such facts AS these the
plain lesson of its inefficiency. The big
headlines, the huge volume Of news. the
great pictures all these things may jar
on the nerves of those who love quiet.
restful surroundings. But out of just
this directness of appeal comes the
awakening power of American news
papers. No effort has ever been made
to give the news of all France in one
paper, and the provincial papers in even

Dramatic Meeting Between LOUIS
James and Marie Wainwright.

James and Marie Wainwright.
/ was in San Antonio q few
weeks ago, when it almost locke d
as il Louis James and Marie VAIN
wright were going to become re-
conciled. The Menger Hotel,
directly across the plaza from the
opera house, is generally patr n zed
by the theatrical profession, as the
other house, the Maverick, is sew
eral blocks away.
Wainwright's engagement ended
Saturday night and James, began
Sunday night following. There
were no Sunday trains, so Miss
Wainwright concluded as James
would doubtless stop at the Men,
ger. that it would be wiser for
her to move to the Maverick with
her daughter.
1t seems that James, however,
understood the situation, and,
knowing it would be embarrassing
for his former wife to meet him,
ne very chivalrously concluded to
go the Maverick and not disturb
her peace OF mind, says writer in
the Chicago Mail.
The result OF this consideration
was, of course, just opposite to
what they had planned. Miss
Wainwright was just leaving the
dining-room with her daughter
when the child gave an exclama-
tion of joy.
