The author of John Cave" has been
called a realist. an artist, an imitator
Of Maupassant. He is certainly
realist and his work certainly re-
minds one of the methods of the great
Frenchman He is, like this master,
also morbid in his moods. His pic
lures of the repulsive details that he
finds necessary for the development
of his stories are such as Viyisec-
ZIONIST would admire and applaud and
such as he would write himself If he
could. But there is one side of his
work that appeals especially to the
newspaper writer, the Bohemian"
Of whom there are few now, for the
reason that the tense, exacting life
of today will not tolerate them even
though they possess talent or even a
spark of genius. John Cave goes
through experiences which have
blazed the broad pathway to death
for many a brilliant metropolitan
journalist. Every part of the picture
is there. As one reads the book there
comes to mind the self-destruetion OF
the most powerful prose writer who
ever honored the staff of New York
newspaper; of another who. with his
"Fifi,'' disappeared in the whirlpool of
Paris; of another who in mid-ocean
ended a career that promised fame
and fortune. The alluring but fatal
charm of the demi- mondaine is not
wanting The picture Is true, indeed,
to life, but all the more dangerous.
John Cave" is a wonderful book The
young man who reads it may take
It's lesson to heart or he may not ac-
cording to his mental grasp; if he be
a fool he will not

They saw now that his face was
pinched and CHASTITY under the smear
of blood that was oozing from an ugly
cut on his cheek, and Watt and the
colonel exchanged significant glances.
When they reached the head of the
stairs Custer pushed open the first
door; the room thus disclosed was in
darkness. and the colonel. with a
whispered caution to his companions,
released his hold on Langham. and,
striking a match, stepped into the
room where, having found the chan
delier, he turned on the gas. AS the

advanced with their helpless burden.
1t was the judges chamber they had
entered and it was not untenanted,
for there on the bed lay the judge

II was Langham who first saw that
recumbent figure. A hoarse inarticu-
late groan escaped him. He twisted
clear of the hands that supported him
and by superhuman effort staggered
to his feet. he even took an uncertain
step in the direction of the bed, his
starting eyes fixed on the spare figure.
Then his strength deserted him and
with cry that rose to a shrek, he
pitched forward on his face.

They lifted Langham in their arms
and bore him into an adjoining room.
AS they placed him upon the bed he

HARRISON dispatched Shrimplin and
Custer in quest of a physician, and he
and Watt busted themselves with re-
moving Marshall's wet clothes. When
this was done they washed the blood
stains from his face. He did not

Sabotage.

explain the term for the pFoletariat,
but to teach labor how to vote when
the question arises in the local,
"Shall we resort to sabotage?' But
the little book has another mission.
1t is this; "Shall Socialism and the
Socialist party deliberately attack the
unions which aim the overthrow of
capitalism" or woo the reaction
aries, whose aim, as they confess, is
to leave capitalism undisturbed, pro-
vided good jobs and generous pay are
given to them? Though il is re-
garded as almost superseded among
Socialists now, the work of Carl Marx
would easily answer this question.
The definition of the term sabotage,
or reprisai, in the book is best ex-
pressed in the words of the author
himself and. as they are n the
pen of scientific French writer of
distinction, they may be regarded as
definitive. Here they are: Sabotage
is to the social war what guerrillas
are to national wars" In other
words, it is nothing more nor less
than ANY conscious and wilful act
on the part of any one or more
workers intended to slacken and re-
duce the output of production in the
industrial field or to restrict trade and
reduce the profits in the commercial
field in order to secure from their
employers better conditions or to en-
force those promised or maintain
those already prevailing, when no
other way of redress is open"
An introduction to Sabotage is
from the hand of Arturo Giovannitti,
well known or notorious in connoc-
ton with the Lawrence strike.

A German Idyl.

War" is a tale of the Civil War,
one of that continuous, never-ending
procession which, like the tales and
histories of the Trojan War, will
go on for ages, probably. 1t is writ
ten in charming style, one that is
simplicity itself. 1t is told by an
old German, the father of two sons,
who are the heroes of the book.
Evelyn, their cousin. a fiery Southern
girl, comes into the household and
both fall in love with her She is
spy in the Confederate service, and
the plot deals with her devotion to
her cause and her passionate love for
one of the young men, Dave"
Jonathan, the other brother, loves the
girl, too. At last the war comes and
Jonathan. the Union soldier Is slain
by David. This is the'tragic ending.
David disappears, his mind gone. The
novel is not so much to be judged as
story as a tragedy Of life. The love
of Jonathan and David is POLITICALLY
and knowingly told. and the character
of Evelyn is that of Southern
heroine. The picture of the knights
Of the Golden Circle will recall stir
ring memories to those who can look
back half century. The father.
Daddy is a German type of pure
humor and about him and about the
whole story rests the atmosphere of

Fabulous Animal Stories
Come From Charleston

Atlanta, February 19.-As the
home of wild animals and fabulous
monsters, the village of Charleston,
Ga, has the. whole continent OF
Africa pushed off the edge of the.
map.
Scientific exploration shows that
there are a few terrifying animals
that do not actually live 10 the
wilds of Africa, such as the uni
corn and minotaur; but there Is
nothing on wings or legs known
to natural history or mythology
that is not likely to bob up any
dark night at Charleston and bite
some prominent citizen on lthe calf
of the leg.
This despite the fact that Clark
ston is law abiding prohibition
town, so orderly, except in this
matter of seeing visions, that the
calaboose has been empty for
months.
The latest exotic addition to
CIarkston's fabulous fau1a is in
the shape of wild-western coyote
which was found under house,
and chased by dogs. Clarkstonians
say that W. L, Wimpv shot the
beast and has it's hide to prove it.
Similar claims were made when
the Ashantoo goat, the wlllowam-
pus and the Australian gnu also
fourished in this quiet Georgia
town.
Atlantians are patiently waiting
until they kill native elephant
and giraffe, and then they intend
to organize an excursion TO GO
down and view the whole collec-
ton together.

immigration bill was reached in
the senate today after short fill
ibuster by democratic senators
who demanded an opportunity to
speak on the subject.
Senator Lord succeeded, by a
vote of rs to 9, in having the We

but a persistent objection was
made to a final vote before an
opportunity had been given for
discussion. Opponents of the lit
eracy test to which President Taft
objected are prepared to back up
his veto with emphatic speeches
tomorrow. A two-thirds vote will
be required to repass the bill. In
case of it's success in the senate
it probably will be taken up in
the house at once.
