FIRST NIGHTS.
The Way They Affected Some Famous
French PlsYMrinhts

The Way They Affected Some Famous
French Plsywrilhts.
The first night with authors is view
ed with different feelings. This is how
1t affected some famous French play
wrights. Sardous nervousness was
well known. Dumas fills was never
able to preserve his sangfroid. AS
soon as the curtain rose Dumas pere
would betake himself to restaurant
and dine from as many courses as his
new piece had acts. His son reported
Oh the success of the piece. AT the
FIRST representation of ''Toussaint Lou
venture" Lamartine found his work SO
tedious that he went to a cafe and
read the papers. Balzac when he pro-
duced Resources de Quinola' spent
the day i'll selling tickets at rate
higher than ut the box Office and reap
ed a fine return.
Paul de Kock, seated in the orches-
ira, we also read, protested against
his piece and made so much noise that
his ncighbors demanded silence. Cas-
mir Delavigne remained ut home.
Alexandra Sonnet went to be shaved
when Jeanne dare was produced
The barber had finished one cheek
when the author cried: "stop! Here
are 30 sous. Go round to the theater
and see If they hiss or applaud the
piece" The barber returned, saying:
at is Il success. monsieur. They APP
splaud." "Since 1T is a success" re-
piled the author, "shave the other"
Scribe appeared in the best of spirits
and encouraged the actors. but at the
end lie became nervous and tore his
handkerchief with his teeth. Rossini
walked about the back of the stage
with his cane in his hand. Auber was
never present on he first night Of his

REAL LITERARY LABOR.
Example of Charles Dudley warn.r's

.~s"'P's OF Sharies Dudley Warner'1
Infinite Painstakina.
The extraordinary pains and patience
with which Charles Dudley Warner
did his literary work are shown in an
account given by writer in the New
Amstcl magazine of the strenuous way
In which Mr.. Warner produced an
obituary notice some years ago.
Professor Edward L. Youmans was
CLOSE personal friend OF Mr. Warner.
and on that account when Mrs. You
mans died the editor of a daily paper
asked MI. Warner to write sort of
personal appreciation of her. This he
consented 10 co.
He was left alone from 10 a. IN. unt!l
half past II, when he went to lunch.
Returning at o'clock, he worked
without interruption until O'Clock.
when he turned over to the editor
what he had written.
Yet the work was not complete. Mr..
Warner read the first proof and in sue
cession three revised sheets
Each time he made change after

ono right word, while even in the
nicely of paragrapling he seemed to
make clearer what he desired to ex-
press. Nor did the close revision end
with the marking of the last proof.
After the paper had gone to press
and the first sheets had been brought
up to the composing room for an o. K.
Mr. Warner looked wistfully at the
editor and Observed:
would you object to lifting the
form? / see a sentence III the last
paragraph that might be somewhat
changed. She was too good. you know,
to have slovenly tribute paid to her"
Even the printers refused to get an
CRY over the delay, and forthwith the
form was sent up and changes went on
for an hour. At last, though publica-
tion was delayed fully two hours, the
editor, but not Mr.. Warner, had the
supreme satisfaction of knowing that
the work was as nearly perfect as hui
man art could make 1t. and the edition
was sent out.

The X. 81 p. Picnic

speaks when he refers to such
s'as a day in june" When Sir
Knight Ogle of Pennsylvania
was asked yesterday at the pic.
mic. what is so rare as a day
in june" he promptly answer
ed, zone of the same kind in
july" Which rejoinder proves
that he is a lawyer. Nature
and the meteorological condi-.
lions arranged (this is a good
word) things especially for the
long contemplated picnic by
Anchor Lodge No. &c Knights
of Pythias, which was held at
our beautiful city park yester-
day. The knights and their
families have been looking
longingly forward to this
event for several weeks and
the various committees have
been working knights and days
to have everything inreadiness
for the great outing event of
the season. By high noon the
Knights and their families be-
gan to pour into the park in
carriages and automobiles.
The Go Bluffs brethren didn't
arrive till the 1:15 train, but
the Logan folks, whose pres
ence we always enjoy SO much
were all on hand before noon.
The roast to be barbacued
was on early in the morning, so
all interest conferred in that
and the new tangled spit that
automatically turned every 30
seconds, the new invention of
Sir Knight Earl Beagle, a very
ingenious novelty. At one
O'clock, Steward Harmon an
nounced that the roast was
done. Sir Knight "Pa' Har-
mon is the prompter in our
lodge work, one of the ladies
said, for, she heard her hus-
band say something about "Pa
giving him his cue" The var
ious astronomical were spread
upon one long immense table,
and innovation at lodge picnics
as it was never done before at
our park. After dinner the
games were pulled off which
kept the amusement commit
tee busy for an hour. Sir Knight
Lahman won the automobile
race, coming in : Of a mile
ahead Of everyone. About
this time, Sir Knight Amen
had to come to town 10 get
some money to pay the prizes
and Sir Knight Davis brought
him in behind his new stopper.
Sir Knight Amen accustomed
to a fast horse asked Sir Knight
Davis if he thought they were
going to a funeral. mo" says
Sir Knight Davis, and we're
not going to no burned fire,
either" Miss Edith Amen
brought out the money and
proceeded to pay the prizes.
The spring chicken race a very
unique affair, was easily won
by Sir Knight w. Z. Fensler.
The Lame Own Aide" contest
was the cause of considerable
strife by those who got outside
of it, but there didn't seem to
be a ghost of a show for any
one but the bald heads. In the
ball game between Logan and
Mo Valley, the home boys won,
score % to % and ~ innings
were played, so the game was
even at the end of the ninth.
Sir knight Ogle was umpire
and there wasn't a kick on any
of his decisions. Sir Knight
and Mrs. Ogle are the parents
of Mrs. Boughtcn, Sir Knight
g. w. Boughton implored them
to remain over a week in order
to "take in' this important
event. They assured We edi-
tor that they were more than
