not win a single battle. notwith-
standing the fact that they inva-
riably outnumbered the United
States forces and always had the
advantages of the position. No
charge of cowardice was ever
brought against the Mexican rank

on the other hand they stood up
to the music in fine shape, and,
so far as courage was concerned,
came out of the struggle with
honor. But they did not seem

The GREATEST NOVEL

s. C.--Your question can not be
answered in a hard -and-fast way.
The question, Which is the
greatest novel;" is answered in
different ways by different peo-
pie. Some would say that the
greatest novel is Don QuiXote,"
others Les Miserables." and
others "Tristrau Shandy," and
others still Ten Thousand a
Year" or "Ivanhoe," or Lorna
Doone," or any one of a hundred
that might be thought of. 1t is
a matter Of individual taste or
temperament. The greatest novel
(for YOU is the one that makes
the greatest all-around impression
upon you, and to the greatest ex-
tent colors and influences your
mind, and through that your life.

Of GIRL
MUST co TOCELL
Tampa Men Lose Appeal From
Sentence for Luring Agnes
Couch From Atlanta.

Louis Athanasoul and Mitchell Samp-
son, convicted in the Federal court Of
Florida year ago for violations of the
national white slave" laws, IN a case in
which 16-year-old Agnes Couch. Of At
lanta, furnished the principal testimony,
have lost their appeal in the United States
supreme court, and will be brought to the
Atlanta federal prison at once to begin
serving their sentences
Young Miss Couch testified that she
was lured from Atlanta to Tampa by the
men, under the pretense that they desired
to give her legitimate work in their thea
ter there. She said that instead of doing
this, they put her to selling drinks in the
boxes of their show place. and threw her
into the society OF immoral persons. The
girl was rescued finally from the low
theater the men were conducting and in
dictments against them resulted in their
conviction. Athanasoul was given two
years and six months and Sampson was
given one year and three months.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court upon the ground Of unconstitution-
ality Of the law The court of review sus-
tained the Florida ruling, however and
the men will be put in stripes immedi-
ately.
Justice McKenna handed down very
lucid and emphatic opinion in the case,
in which he said that the white slave"
laws should and would be upheld
The Tampa men are quite well to do,
and were defended by a large array Of
counsel

News and Reviews
Of the TheaterS
FARNuM THRILLS AUDIENCE

FARNUM THRILLS AUDIENCE
The very FIRST melodrana of the season
In the Atlanta theatrical world is now on
the stage Of the Atlanta. And it is one
of the best OF its kind, too. Dustin Far
mum and company in THE Littlest Reb-
ell gives us thrills galore, situations of
tense and dramatic interest heart throbs
that are so cleverly achieved they steal
upon the most hardened, and bring tears
to the eyes of many who smile at their
own Representatives, let the tears
stand, anyway. OF course, THE Lit
tlest Rebel is not realistic. It's the very
foundation of melodrama to depart from
the realistic. SO when we hear the funny
accent of those who attempt to speak like
Southerners we take it with a smile of
forgiveness, just as we do the obvious
situations and the thrilling escapes. But
when acted as Dustin Farnum acts mel
odrama, few there are who do not feel
the response of warm feeling, which dis
arms criticism. BreatheS there man
with soul so dead as not to feel the quick
tide of hot blood mount into his brain
when the rifles begin to crack and the
dusty soldiers fall back before the first of
them, step by step? The battle scene is
very effectiVe-more so than the famous
fight in The Round Up"
Farnum plays the role of Lieutenant
Colonel Morrison with artistic repression,
and even though he is a true hero of
the melodrama, he imbues the part with
seeming life. 1t Is true that when Cen
eral Grant says, You would have me
pardon the spy because he has a child"
the structure of pathos and patriotism
erected by the work of Farnum and the
others trembles and almost falls before a
few plain words. But General Grant
quickly RECEIVERS from the force of real
ism and helps out the play with an un-
expected sympathy.
Little Miss Helen Thebus Is very charm
ing as the littlest rebel" and Alexis
B. Luce as Captain Herbert Cory, of the
Confederate army, looks the part to per-
lection, and acts it well
The Littlest Rebel is decidedly worth
while, and a theatrical attraction of un-
usual merit
