Atflla was a barbarous king of tbe Huns who reigned from the year 434 to 453 of the Christian era, but be bad bo religion except that of brutality, con quest and toot He ruled cltb all the weapons known In that day. and his hordes were compelled to follow him by tbe same means, as he hod no mercy on any who showed tbe least lack of fealty to him or mercy to tbe con quered. For a considerable part of his reign It Is said that his Individual word was law over a vast territory extend ing from tbe Caspian sea to tbe river Rhine. Aa a leader he was fearless and masterful and savage. He called himself "the Scourge of God." He ruled jointly with his brother for several years, but wanted no division of tbe spoils, and his royal brother was disposed of as others of tbe royalties of that region have been disposed of.. He founded tbe city of Buda, made It his capital and from It directed tbe slaying and looting wherever there was anything to get thnt was worth hav ing. He laid waste In tbe most ruthless 1 manner some of the finest and richest cities of wbut are now Greece. Italy, Spain, France and all the territory north of that, levying heavy tribute everywhere and burning and killing where tribute was not promptly paid. Hc conquered the powerful Byzan tine emperor, Tbeodoslus, In 448. de stroying hundreds of gems of architec ture and art, and compelled tbe em peror to pay to him the Inst money possible. He again laid waste all the eastern empires in 450 and then gave bis attention to Gaul In tbe west with an army said to have been 700,000 strong, but this Is thought by some historians to be an exaggeration. How ever, thnt army was strong enough to do Its will In all that region. He then made au attempt by force and cunning to detach Theodoric. king of West Goths, from bis alliance with the Bo mans tinder their general, Aetlus; bnt. failing In that, he gave battle to the allies near Chalons, on tbe Catalanian fields, and there bad bis first real re verse, Tbe allies failed to follow up tbelr victory, and the following year Attlla and his savage hordes laid waste ail northern Italy and bad arranged tor an assault on Rome, but be bad Just bad an example of the prowess of tbe Roman soldiers and wben he beard that they had concentrated there In great numbers be desisted.

IN LEGEND OF LEONORA Fantastical Repertoire to Be Presented by Noted Ar tiste in Asheville. A particularly Interesting event Is the appearance of Maude Adams at the Auditorium on Monday night, January 11. w-hen the actress Is to be seen in a double bill of plays by J. M. Barrie. The chief play is "The Legend of Leonora." with which the bill will open and it will conclude with "The Ladies' Shakespeare." Miss Adams is always delightful aad artistic. Her successes have been many and notable; but In "The Le gend of Leonora," she is destined to exercise a greater sway over her fol lowing than she had an opportunity of doing in any of her plays since "The Little Minister." Of course, it is Leonora who is the heroine of the new comedy, and it Is a wise Barrie who has drawn her. He knows that although the modern, practical woman with her votes, her clubs, and her executive boards may be professedly an object of admira tion, it is the old fashioned woman who is really loved. And so he cre ates Leonora In old fashioned colors, makes of her a thing of beauty and a joy for ver. So whLv .leal and fantaetio is the story that to recount it is to spoil It. A fond mother pushes a man off a railway car because he Insisted on having the window open, and Leon ora's little girl had a cold on such an incident Is the play , built. The oomedy opens at a dinner party where the shy guest is told that he" Is to meet seven women, the charac teristics of each being described to him. 'While he Is alone In comes Leonora and he endeavors to discov er which of the seven she is. In a scene that is charmingly humorous he learns that Leonora is all seven and ever so many more rolled Into one. Then for two acts Leonora Is on trial for her rash act. Never were there such scenes In any court for Leonora turns It topsy-turvy. With ab solutely no concern she sits and knits, chats with the Jurymen feeling that she was thoroughly Justified in what she did for did not her little girl havo a cold? Of course, she Is de clared not guilty of homicide after a scene In which there is a fleeting touch of pathos. "The Ladies' Shakespeare" Is a pretentious work in one act and con taining three scenes. It Is based on "The Taming of the Shrew," and Barrie has so edited It that It is as the ladles of today would have It with Petruchlo instead of Katherlne being the tamed one. The play Is most elaborately staged and has a cast of twenty-six people. The com pany surrounding Miss Adams Is made up of prominent players. IF YOU NEED A RANGE Don't Forget the Bucks.
