tion or Sheriff sales ordered by
the Courts for the support of
minors to be published in a
county newspaper. But the law
does not require a notice Of a
sale to be published. in Il
"County Seat" newspaper. 1t
is to the interest Of the party or
parties who are interested in
property which is to be sold
in or adjacent to Monroe Civ to
advertise their property in the
Monroe City papers because Il
man will pay more for property
near him than if it was % miles
away. Again. Men who live
near a piece of property will
bid on it when they will not go
to the trouble and expense of
going to Paris for that purpose,
consequently, the property
would bring Il better price.
There is no reason on earth why
a piece of property in or near
Monroe City should be adver-
tiSed in Paris or sold at the
Court House door while there
are several, why it should not
be.

Anthony Hopes New Romance.

Anthony Hopes new romance, which
he has just finished, is called THE
Countess Emilia" and has been pur-
chased by The Ladies Home Journal,
in which periodical it will Immediately
begin. The story is about a beautiful
Countess. She has qnarreled with her
husband, and they have decided to live
in seclusion in separate wings of the
castle. This they do until Captain
Dieppe, who becomes member of the
household, Inadvertently opens a door,
through which are revealed to him the
apartments of the exiled Countess, with
the beautiful occupant standing in the
doorway. The Captain falls in love
with the young woman, and from this
point here is not moments cessation
in the romantic adventures which en-
sue n the castle, its gardens and neigh
boring places of rendezvous.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Mansfield in his splendid product,
CyranO de Bergerac has come and gone.
To me, it is the Cyrano de Bergerac of
Edmund Rostand than that of Mans
field to whom one bows. So great a
play is we'll worthy of Mansield's best.
The plot of the play is new in many
ways but the lines so full of wisdom
and sentiment are the chief beauty OF
the play. Here is Cyrano de Bergerac.
sad unfortunate, born with nose SO
deformed that it brings constant mis-
cry TO its owner, He, who is sensitive to
a degree must bear the laughter of all
with whom he comes i'll contact. His
soul is filled with sentiment and To-
nance, but he knows that he can never
have the love of woman and that the
most casual glance will always be- fol
lowed by amusement and aversion;
condemned in this way Cyrano deter.
mines TO force respect from all around
him. He boasts OF his superiority,
throws his purse away though he has
not dined and when reprOached tor it
says, but oh With what a gesture
His egotism becomes as great as ms
nose. But When upon his life there
comes the shadow OF hopeless love,
he makes great sacrifice fully, freely
and heedlessly. One forgets so soon
the poor deformed nose and thinks only
of the delicacy and beauty of the love-
able but loveless being, poor Cyrano.
The play opens at IA hotel where a
company of actors are about to present
a comedy. Many notables are present,
among them Richelieu. The terrible
Cyrano has forbidden one of the play
to appear, giving asa reason that he
cannot act, but really because he has
ogled Roxane, a cousin whom Cyrano
loves secretly and hol e'essly. When
the actor comes upon the stage DeBer-
gerac orders him away amldst Kisses
and cat calls. One of the noblemen
present speaks lightly of c. ramos nose,
and they fight, Cyrano composing a
ballad as he fights describing .ne duel
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1899-03-28

vent where she has spent fourteen
years, while Cyrano, poor and i'll has
visited her every Saturday, bringing
with him all the news. Upon this day
he has been struck with block of
wood and is dying. he tries to speak in
his accustomed way but faints. When
he forces himself to sit up again he asks
RoNane to let him see the last letter
Christian ever sent her. 1t is too dark
to read but the darkness not preventing
his saying its contents Roxane for the
first time knows OF the sacrifice he has
made for her. But it is too late, his
ugliness of body and beauty of soul is
dying. He has beenso bra We. patient,
tender and sensitive that every one has
forgotten the poormisshapen nose. He
finishes telling the news: Aud on Sat
urday, the Goth, an hour after sun
down, Monsieur De Bergerac died of
murder done upon him. Fate will have
his laugh at us. Here am killed by
lackey with log. Nothing could have
been completer! In nv whole life l
shall not have had anything l wanted,
not even decent death. To the end
shall have been the one who prompted
and was forgotten. Roxane, do you
remember that evening on which Chris
tan spoke to you from beneath the
balcony? There was the epitome Of
my existence; while have stood below
in darkness others have climbed to
claim the kiss and glory"-sWhat are
YOU saying? Thatitis no use? know
it! But one does not tight because
there is hope of winning; it is much
| finer to fight when it is no use."
Even the uncertain temper of March
weather cannot conceal the fact that
sprung is at hand. The street vendors
cry fresh shad' ''roe shad'' from morn
ing until night and the Easter hats
bloom gayly in the shop windows, many
a house and lot would needs be sold to
buy many of these Paris creations, a
great number of them being as devoid
of b' auty and good sense as they are
costly in price.
