Her touch, technique and interpretations are most artistic and her performance last evening was such as to warrant her friends pre dicting great things for her in the near future. A DUSKY SULTAN IN DISTRESS. Perhaps the most unfortunate per son in Paris at present is the Sultan of Zanzibar. According: to report, he has been reduced to his last twenty francs (four dollars), and yet he faces the problem of feeding and amusing the fifteen dusky wives who accom panied him on his travels, all no doubt having excellent appetites and a de veloped taste for foreign finery. So great was the black Sultan's need for cash, it is related, that on hearing of a shipment of gold from VVashingtorr to Paris, he got in line with the stranded Americans and applied to Ambassador Herrick for aid. He was politely referred to the British embassy, from the path to which the tales of a shipload of American gold seemed to have caus ed his feet to stray. Apparently the preoccupation of the British treasury in troublous times prevented the Sultan of Zanzibar from receiving his regular remittance o]\ time. We may rest assured that the oversight was not intentional. Zanzibar, an island off the coast of German East Africa, is particularly valuable to the British just now, and in order to keep its natives at peace, the government at London can well afford to pay a stipend liberal enough to keep the Sultan and all his dusky wives in a good humor.—Macon Tele graph. —Miss Marie Dinkins, who has been so charmingly entertained while the guest of Miss Myrtis McKenzie, has returned to Atlanta. —The illness of Mrs. Charles Mun nerly will be learned of with the most sympathetic interest. —Friends of Mrs. George Erastus Whitney will regret to learn that she will not return home as soon as was hoped, but will probably be away until after Xmas. —The numerous friends of Mr. and Mrs. C.

I have often seen your gallant regiment at maneuvers and it is a great pleasure to meet yoj again on conquered ground. "The heroic deeds at Verdun will be engraved on the history of the war forever In golden letters. Your regi ment has upheld the glorious tradi tions of your forefathers in 1870 and 1871. The armies of the crown prince and Duke Albrecht of Wuerttemberg have advanced, while our eastern army has thrown three Russian army corps over the frontier and two more Rus sian army corps have been captured in the field.

He also distributed iron crosses right and left. The clergyman In charge of the wounded seems to have addressed the emperor with too heavy a heart. “We all make sacrifices in these times,” said the emperor, reminding the clergyman that he had six sons fighting.

He must know that it is honest, efficient, pure and wholesome. In cases of nervousness, heart flutter,headache, biliousness, indigestion, etc., where the patient is a coffee drinker, most doctors order: "Quit coffee and use Postum.” Doctors recommend Postum because they know that it is a pure food drink—absolutely free from the drug, caffeine, which makes coffee injurious to most users. It is significant that thousands of physicians not only recommend, hut themselves use POSTUM —its worth having been fully demonstrated, not only in the home, but in Sanita riums, Hospitals and Colleges. Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postum— must he well boiled—lsc and 25c packages. Instant Postum —soluble—no boiling—made in the cup with hot water, in stantly. 30c and 50c tins.
