The French Society of Dramatic
Authors have announced to the the
atrical managers of France that they
propose to regard as still in exist
ence the recently expired rights of
Honore de Balzac in all his plays. The
penaltysof disregarding this. notice is
much more severe than any that's could
be inflicted by law. 1t consists in Ne
fusal to allow a recalcitrant manager
to play any piece over which the So
ciety Of Dramatic Authors has author
ity In other words, It puts an end to
his occupation and closes his theater

MEXICO, Mo-, Feb. H.-Those Of us
who have never seer much Of the in
SIDE workings Of the murder mills Of
our country have bad the opportunity
at the Court House ID the Spencer
murder trial. The picture OF this one
day in the Vandalis saloon ought to
be sufficient to awaken In the minds
Of all well thinking people 3 proper
appreciation OF the terrible conse-
quences Of these deEs Of iniquity We
are fostering in our midst.
Just think OF the manner in which
this Christmas day, the anniversary
Of the birth OF our Lord, wa ~celebrat-
cd BY tbese people in our neighbor-
ing town Of Vandaiia. Aud il was
but a counterpart OF the manner in
which the day was celebrated in our
own city Of Mexico, minus the incl
dent OF the murder, which was liable
to have occurred in anyone Of orr
saloons. AS we cit and listen 10 the
testimony OF these saloon men, and
these boys and young men Of Wanda

that fatal day; Sc We look upon the
face OF this young man, the con Of a

tlon upon the minds and hearts Of
the good people Of Vandalia; Who is
responsible for the existence Of this
saloon which led to this murder which

would ask the people OF Mexico, How
do you like the picture that has been
drawn during this trial, of the place
where some Of your boys spend their
evenings and leisure hours during
the day. Do you realize the dangers
TO which they r exposed and the
disgraceful associations 10 which they
are subjected7 May not the fate Of

A CHILD AND THE FLOWER.

It was In the early springtime,

With the most beautiful Of flowers,
A child played among them there.
The little fellow knew not
That his mother, dying, lay
That he must tread life's lonely vale
Left al orphan on that day.

She is sick" he said and sighed.

He fastened with childish gIse;

"Wake up, and listen TO me-"
"see, this beautiful flower;

Say, Mama, please open your eyes
Awake and look at me-"
The Angels, watching silently above,
Beheld the little ar-dimmed eyes
When the child found its mothsr'a
spirit
Had been waited to the skies.
The loved ones watching beside
Thought Of the Flower of God
More beautiful than any OF Earth's
violets
That grow upon the sod.
Yes, the little child in its innocence,
Was a picture sad to behold;
May the Angels lovingly guard him
And bring him into the fold.
