ZOLAAND DREYFU3.
Friends Have Never Quarrelled Over
Alleged Confusion.
Paris, May 9.?This correspondent
is authorized from the
highest possible source of authority
to give the fullest denial to
the statement of M. H agues Lo
Roux in Chioigo that M. Zola had
seen a paper signed by rrx-Captain
Dreyfus in which the latter admit'
ted all the charges made against
him and that M. Zola and Dreyfns
are no longer friends.
M. Zola, it is stated, has never
seen a document sinned bv Drovfus I
in whioh he admits his guile. The !
relation between the novelist and
the ex captain have never been
strained ; on the contrary they
remain the warmest of friends.
Captain Dreyfns is ill of a severe j
throat trouble and has almost lost i
his voice. I

Capt. A. B. Woodruff was unfortunate
and fell as he was coming f
in the back door of the postoffice
the other day and received a severe
shake up. Rev. John Ezell is still ^
in very feeble health and is con 1
fined to his room. These two men <
are now among our oldest citizens i
and are both held in high esteem, j
We wish we could keep them with j
us a lo ig time. They aro men whom \
all delight to honor.
THE J. P.'S DECISION.
He Sums up the Coffee Case. <
Judge W. W. Bowen of Creeds,
Va., announces himself us a "re- .
formed coffee toper" and gives
authority to mako the following
publie statement.
"For years the coffee habit hud
been growing on me until my condition
was getting serious. 1 have
considerable writing to do and had
become so nervous that I had to
depend almost entirely upon my
?'ifo to rVi tV.e writinc Sometimes
when it was imperative that I sign j
my name my hand trembled so 11
conld scarce do it. .
I had severe headaches, stomach
trouble, heart trouble, also son.o
rheumatism. A friend, Rev. , ,
one day sent me a package of Pos-1
turn Coffee with request that I give 1
up coffee and make a fair trial of I
Postum.
I took the advice and tbe headaches
ceased, also the] stoma
trouble. I now have no heart,
trouble at all except when I use;
coffee for a time. My old nervous- ]
ness is a thing of the past.
My wife also suffered for years
with heart trouble and extreme
WKu hua fAnilfl 1
by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. Wo now think it a much ,
better drink than either coffee or
tea. I have known of a number of i
cases that have been entirely cured |
or greatly benefited by leaving of! I
coffee and using the new bevoruge,!
Postum." i

Ajax's Mistake.
Ajax stood mider the open sky
and shook his fist.
"What's the matter, .Tax?" asked
Achilles, who happened to be returning
from his club, for the hour
was early.
,8zt! Don't bother me !" replied
Ajax, angrily. "Can't you see that
I aiu defyi ig the lightning?"
"Lightning be hanged 1" answered
Achilles with fine scorn. "That
isn't lightning ; it's the last speech
of Tillman's going to Now York
by wireless telegraphy."
Naturally, Ajax folded himself
into the smallest possible compass
and sneaked off.
Saturday Night Dances.
The electrio railway compuny will
gi to a dance and concert at Glendale
Park every Saturday night for
the especial benefit of the operatives
of the various cotton mills
along, the line. The Clifton Band
has been engaged for these concerts
and a good time is expected every <
Saturday night. The electrio railway
people have done much to
provide recreation and pleasure for
the mill operatives and their efforts
have been muoh appreciated.
FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
What Happens When a Chinese Baby
Is a Month Old.
When a Chinese baby is a month
old, it is given a name. Its head is
also shaved for the first time, a ceremony
which is called "munefut"
and is made the occasion of great
rejoicing in rich families. All members
of the family are present in
their holiday attire, and the baby to
be shaved is clad in a light red garment.
The hair that is removed is wrap- ;

The 8ea Pen. '
I think of all wonderful things :
the sea pen is one of the most I
unique. Once it was thought that '
the sea pen floated about in the water,
but such is not the ease. When
the Irish fisherman hauls up his
nets, he finds the sea pen very often
sticking to them. He called it the
"wonderful stick."
Rach separate plume of the sea
pen it alivs. Some people have called
it ii street because it is a row of
cells or houses for the polyps to live
in. In these rows of houses the
polyps live by hundreds and cat
away, as usual. What one polyp
eats helps to nourish the rest. Vet
each polyp is quite independent of ,
its neighbor and pushes out his head
and draws it in just as he pleases.
A sen pen does not seem to have
any power of turning itself over.
When it has been placed in a vessel
of water, it has always remained
still. So students have come to the
conclusion that it lives with its stern
buried in the mud at the bottom of
the sea. It is very beautiful and
contains a great quantity of phosporus,
which it throws out when an
enemy comes near. It is curious, is
it not, that even this Torni oi me,
which seems as inanimate as a veritable
stick, should display intelli
gent action when in danger? Thegiving
out of its blue phosphorus
light is apparently its only mode of
'i-uduening away an intruder.
