VIENNA, April Anew York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.)-The man
agement Of the Imperial Opera house of
Vienna has been in terrible quandary. The
king of Saxony is TO be entertained by the
emperor of Austria and a gala perform
ance must oe given at the Imperial Opera
house in honor OF the royal guest. The
first suggestion was to produce The
Huguenots,' but the management decided
that this would be too pointed a reference
to the Catholic king of Saxonys relations
with his Protestant subjects.
Then The Queen of Spades" by
Tschaikowsky, was talked OF, but quickly
rejected, as II recounts the carrying away
of 1ancee, which might be construed as
a reference to the Princess Louise. "Trs-
tan and Isolde was mentioned. but too
much emphasis is laid on conjugal love in
this Wagnerian lyric.
Louise" by Charpentier. was about to
be put in rehearsal when somebody recol-
lected that It is the exaltation of free
love. In despair the management has de-
oided to put on ballet.

gram-Special Telegram. edmond Rostand,
the playwright, has at Villa Etchegarria,
his home in Cambo a company of marion
cites which he carved and costumed with
the minutest care. He intends to give soon
a representation of The Kiss" by Ban
Vile, and English as She is Spoke" by
Tristan Bernard. for an audience of friends.
Rostand says this amusement. which used
to charm George Sand, has given him close
insight into the mechanical workings OF the
big stage. He bought recently in the village
cheap little mosaic brooch for one of his
mechanical players. His little son. Maurice
who adores his mother. was horrified at the
sight Of It.
"Oh, papa" he cried, "the woman you
bought It from will think IT is for mamma.
Whereupon the youthful knight set out for
the village to inform the keeper of the
booth that Nj. Rostand only bought suct
cheap iewelry for his marionettes.

Ronald yon have education

why, mother we are not

Ronald.
Yes, indeed my son, you
know that your father dram k
Il right smart the last few years
of his life replied Mrs. Lester,
sadly.
ooh! the misery and distress
that whisky brings to many a
person, but mother if you would
sell the farm and give me an
education L should be able to
buy it back again in a few years
Then mother think how grand
it would be to have a son a

Lester, Il don't know as [

Il agree mother" said he,
but where will you live moth.

So in a weeks time the Lester
farm had been sold. Mrs. Les
ter had bought a small house
in Clidesville and moved to it
and Ronald had gone to school.
Ronald went to college for
three years and graduated in
law.
He came back to Clidesville
and stayed with his mother for
three or four weeks who by
that time had spent most of her
money on Ronald's education
and her living as scant as it
was
Ronald left home, saying to
his mother l shall be back in a
few years to see after you. In
the meantime l shall write to
you and see that you have all
you need.
Ronald went to flourishing
little town about three hundred
miles east of Clidesville called
Lagrange.
Here he got a position with
an old lawyer who had been
doing business there for many
years.
Rondald did not make much
for while but as time went on
Mr., Moore the old lawyer grew
to like Ronald and gave him a
good paying position and as
Ronald worked hard he made a
right smart of money. He got |
a good deal of practice in law
and in a year and half he got

There was a large yard which

minded this if she could have
received a letter from Ronald
oftener, for sometimes she
would not hear from him for
three or four months and when
she did get a letter it was short
for he said he was so busy that
he did not have time to write
her a long letter.
1t has been five years since
Ronald left Clidesville to go to
college. Mrs. Lester is now
forty five years old, her face is
greatly changed tor she had
suffered untold pain. Some
times she would not go to sleep
until twelve o'clock at night
W orryiug over Ronald, wonder
ing if he was not i'll or working

had not received letter from
him.
Ronald Lester had gained
the height of political popular
ity in Lagrange.
After he had been there four
years he forgot to write to his
m other at all. Time went well
with Ronald Lester, he made
m oney fast aud friends also.
It had been six years since he
eft home and came to La

Mr.. Moore who had now retir-
ed from public life and was
w orkiug hard for Ronald, who
was now candidate for Repre-
sentative for Lagrange County.
Every thing was running
SIN oothly with Ronald when
one day in his convass he met
with very inquisitive Old man.
The old man was a good talker
so Ronald and him talked foI
a long time and finally he be-
ian to ask Ronald about his
pc ople. Ronald told him that
his mother lived in Clidesville.
a small town three hundred
miles west of Lagrange, and as
his was on Christmas eve
m orning the old man asked him
if he was going home for
Christmas. Ronald told him
no that he was too busy.
Too busy" exclaimed the old
m an, "how long has it been
since you were at home"
Six years, replied Ronald,
well! wellw said the old man,
six years and you say you are
n OF going home this Christmas
and you say that your mother
sold her farm and moved to
town to educate you. That's
the way you appreciate a moth
er's sacrifice is it ina haven't
been home for six years and
living in three huDdred miles of
home too. When did you hear
from your mother?"
Ronald hung his head.
Presently he looked up and
said, Il have not, l have not
heard from her for two years, I
am sorry to say. l am asham.
ed of myself. l should have
written to her oftener as you
say that's poor way to appre-
ciate mothers love"
What have not written to
her for two years why my boy
your poor mother may be dead. y"
exclaimed the old man. mo
that cannot. be-" said Ronald,
They would have sent me word
some way or other. I shall go
