G0BLINS AND GIANTS.
BY Palmer Cox.
Aw Exquisite Christmas Present.

Christmas is al hand, and 80 is
Palmer Cox, with another of his
/ l|inlmitable "Queer People" books
but this book surpasses both the
others in the weirdness Of its
wit, dealing as it does with gay
goblins, grim giants, comical
clowns, merry monarohs and all
sorts of queer folks.
By long odds this is the jolliest
Christmas book we have yet seen.
Hon. D. N. Richardson says: '.If
you don't get supply Of 1t into
my ward soon the neighbor's
children will tear my house
down." Critics Of all classes
commend it. Maj. Gen. o. o.
Howard says: "lt is singularly
happy, and will be popular
iamong old and young. The eminent
novelist. Geo. W. Gable, says:
His pages are ever welcome
visitors in q house with children
in it, while the elegant Amelia
Rives writes "one does not have
to wish ones self child again to
enjoy such books, because one
feels a child still after reading
them.' Gen. Lew Wallace pro.
nounces it IAN exquisite Christ
mas present for the little ones of
a household," while Mr.: Wallace
declares: MANY a child will
dance with delight over this
charming Christmas gift.
From an avalanche of such
commendations one more should
be added. Robert j. Burdette,
the noted humorist, exclaims:
Happy and gifted indeed is
Palmer Cox. who can take a pen
Gil in one hand and a pen in the
other and draw pictures and
write poems for all sort of poop
le, from the ages Of Eve to fifty"
In all of which praises we heart
lily concur. 1t is a daisy.
The three new beauties by
Palmer Cox are Paws and Claws,
($1.o0,) Wings and Stings, (75c.)
Giants, Goblins, etc., ($1.O0.)
either of which are for sale by
all booksellers or will DO mailed
on receipt of price by the pub
fishers, Messrs. Hubbard Bros,

polite to do so. He is my prosecutor.
Some two or three years ago, being
DESTROYS of knowing something or beng

might be of benefit to ME if misfortune
bcfell my fathers household, | studied
telegraphy, and. although my father
was not in favor of it, l accepted posi-
ton as operator at a station on the Pan
Handle road. This gentleman" was
the operator at LoSansport, where he left
the train. | had to send nearly all
my work through his office. As the
work of the office was pretty heavy, my
signature appeared pretty frequently
there, and ne was not long in finding
out that the operator at b was not
man. After that discovery he suddenly
found out that good many things in
my Office were not nice enough for
lady. One day a lot of pot-plants came
down, these were followed by knic.l
knacks, odds and eads to fix up with,
and in stormy weather he would run
down and insist that my instruments
needed adjusting. What could l do!
Icould rot very we'll say that | did not
want these things. or his help. for he

under orders from headquarters, AZ
though my wire never revealed any such
Instructions; but his manner was so OBJ

ing, that instcll of respecting him as
WAS first inclined to do. he became very
distasteful to me, and l could not bear
his presence. 1t took, of course, a Ion"
time for things to develop to this cA-
tent but it finally eliminated two
months ago in my throwing up
my key as they say among the oper-
otors Instead of taking the hint. rs it
seemed to ne it was very evident he
should do, he has followed me so per-
sistently that told Charlie OF it and he
has sworn that if he meets him he will
shoot him. Charlie is SO quick-tcm-
percd, but true-hcartcd, that am sure
he will keep his word. Now, what |
want you to do is to help me to make
this man desist. for Charlie will surely
do something that will bring our family
name into notoriotv if he ever secs him.
