HEIRS OF DONIzETTI
ARE AFTER ROYALTIES
Have Just Awakened to Fact That
Society Of Authors Can
Be Held.

PARIS, March 2.-The heirs of Doni-
zetti, the composer, whose operas have
been familiar to the American public for
a generation. have just walked up to the
fact they have a right 10 royalties on
the masters works and have begun legal
proceedings to recover the same. The
sum involved amounts up into the mill
lions and the case is being keenly
watched by theatrical folk generally.
Theatrical managers are safe because
they have paid TO the Society Of Dra-
Matic Authors, whose business il Is to
protect the rights OF playwrlghts and
composers. the usual percentage OF the
production of Donizetu's operas. bui
the society, secure in the ignorance OF
I0niZetti's heirs as to taeir rights, did
not make over the money to them. be
cause they never asked for it. Now
everybody is asking what has become Of
the money. and where will the society
get 1t If it has to pay up.
A curious point has come up I'm the
course of the debates in the court. 1t
appears that a manager who introduces
animals in performance has TO pay d
royalty thereon to the society. Counsel
for the prosecution. when the subject
came up in court. caused considerable
merrirnent by asking If the lions who
were the authors of the roars, received
any royalties.

Last year l suffered with a tremen-

worse and worse, until it spread over

At night when l went to bed things
got worse, and l had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
| was as sore as could be, and until
l suffered excruciating pains. They
told me that l was suffering from
eczema. Then l made up my mind
that l would use the Cuticura Rene

Widows.
From Life.

Widows exist in all countries, thus
counterbalancing the matrimonial de-
cadence which might otherwise result
from timid men. Widows are clinging
by temperament and attach themselves
readily to any object that can't help
itself. 1t is generally considered an
lucky to meet a widow on a dark piazza
by the light of the moon In many
countries to be kissed by a widow
les endless trouble. Widows are
frequently accompanied by children,
whose number is constantly liable to
increase. They roam at large over the
principal sections, and no man Is safe
when they are near All the perfect
men now dead have married widows,
thus forming a continuous contrast to
the miserable specimens who still live.
1t has been said Beware Of widows"

Mr.. Joseph A. McGinnis was for unions

He favored larger wages n a somewhat

A walk-out always pleased him, though

But when the delegate said strike, McGin-

He did the shopping for his wife because
he liked to know
That naught save union articles were pur-

II it hasn't got the label, take the

McGinnis had no children, though he hop

opinioned the same way;
SO when the stork arrived one day and
brought a bouncing boy,
McGinnis was elated-he was overcome
with JOY,
He looked the baby over-his face wreath

When all'at once a thought occurred which
filled him with chagrin-
