The soldiers, bayonets in hand,

In Stronghold" which comes to

ages are the types in every college
today, the dominant figure being
"Strongheart,' the son of chief, who
after graduating at Carlisle, is con-
templating his education there. His
winning personality, his simple-heart-
edness and his prowess in the football
field has made him a universal ia
yorite with his classmates. They well
come him to their homes and he is in
every sense one of them until he de-
clares his love for the sister of his
chum when their bitter antagonism
is aroused. But he has won her love
and she offers to return with him to
his tribe, but they reject her, as they
will not welcome a woman not of their
race as the wife Of their future chief.
The most Impressive scene of Mr..
De Miles play is naturally the one
which develops the theme of race
conflict where Strongheart's two best
friends, one the brother and the 9th
er the unsuccessful sutton of the girl
he loves, turn against him. There
is another which is certain to catcf
the public fancy. 1t shows the train

John Larkn Is Practically
"WhoIe Show"

To male audience of white persons
and to galleries of their own color,
the Black Patti Comedy Company pre-
scented "A Trip to Africa" at the Audi
forum last night. The music in the
comedy is very good and was enjoyed
by the entire audience, but the COM

horse play" such as makes it's strong
est appeal to the galleries and to the
youthful element.

still possesses an excellent voice. al
though it is not what it was a few
years ago. Her plantation songs last
night were well rendered and much
enjoyed.
But John Larkins, the only full

formerly was one of the famous Billy
Kersands endmen, is practically the
whole show" in the Black Patti com
pany. He is a genuine negro ant
ranks high as comedian of the negro

Aside from Larkins, the troupe IL
made up of mulattos, quadroons ant

"Great Divide" and "Servant In the

Early Date.

In the list of strong plays that are
to come to Hattiesburg in the near
future, through the efforts Of Mana

stronger appeal to theatre-goers than
1.-THE Great Divide" and 1.-THE Servant

scented by the distinguished actor man
ager, Henry Miller.
1.-THE Great Divide" was the play
that, more than any other, brought
lasting fame to Mr.. Miller and was
the means of giving him place in
the favor of the theatrical syndicate

prodution of "The Great Divide" with

DEIgAUDS OF TONKIN.
Lives of Native Soldiers Too Pre-
cious to Risk 4 E..iust Them.

Lives Of Native Sof;Eicrs TOO Pre-
cious to Risk gains Them.
The outlaws of Tonk!n whom the
French called pirates. are, properly
speaking. brlgands, who infest the
country both on land and water.
One Of their resorts is the province
Of Bacninh, where they have just muir
dered q French officer. There til"
brigands openly and successfully dety
the forces Of the government. Long
Immunity in that quarter has made
them numerous and formidable. This
need arouse MO wonder, considering
that the troops In the field consist OF
native soldiers whose lives are too
precious to be riskcd in frontal at-
tacks on brigand businesses.
Just before the murder of the office
a band Of ~brlgands made its appear
ance on the railway line between
Hanoi and BHcnih and inflicted loss
Oil some native icyies WHO encounter
ed them. Upon this the resident went
for a detachment Of native regulars
to deal a blow at the enemy. The
troops met the brigands i~ntrenched IN
a village, one house in which they
Lad turned INTO a fortress, so to speak.
The commander Of the troops found
himself in a fix. TO send the regu-
lars cross the open TO carry the
stronghold by storm, under heavy fire
from the %brlgands, meant heavy loss
and certain death to many Of his men
to little purpose. The only alternative
WINS to blow up the house along with
It's garrison. But this resOurc failed
him from no explosives being at hand
The result was that the brigands es,
capped.
The HaiphoNg paper rightly won
ders why the troops in the field are
not supplied with melinlte bombs
Such engines Of destruction would save
much loss Of life among the soldiery
operating against the brigands.
Yet no bombs are supplied to the
troops, though the brigands have of
ten defied them safely from fortified
houses. which the troops would not
! attack from fear Of loss Of life not
worth while to incur against outlaws
The result Of this weakened pol
Icy is that the hr!gand bands in that
section of Tonkin increase steadily III
numbers and strength. PeSsimists say
that in time they will become too many

in the hope Of seeing hounds again.

After some few minutes a stealthy

my attention, and within five yards Of
me there passed q dog fox, evidently
hunted and dead tired. He paused in
the roadway some fifteen yards in front
Of where I stood, when to my astonish-
ment he was Joined by a vixen, appar-
emily quite fresh.
They trotted on up the pathway for
twenty yards side by side, looking for
all the world as if they were holding
a whispered conversation, when to my
surprise the vixen turned back DELHI
crately in their tracks for about fifteen
yards, crossing and recrosslng in order,
I suppose to make the scent as strong
as possible on her own line. She then
