ALPHONSE DAUDET.

suddenly yesterday evening while at dinner The cause of death was
syncope due to failure of the heart.

Alphonse Daudet was born of poor parents at Nimes in 1840. He studied in
the Lyons Lyceum, and then became usher in a school at Alais. Going
to Paris to seek his fortune in literature in 1858, he succeeded in
publishing a book of verses entitled Les Amoreuses, which led to his
employment by several newspapers. He published many novels and tales,
and about half a dozen plays. His most popular work is "Les Morticoles."
His son, Leon Daudet, is a litterateur of promise.
