UNCLE SETH ON THE MODERN NOVEL.

Them novelists who write today, wy they
hahn It got the trade
There amt a one that knows Jest how story
should be made;
Not one who understands the thing, not one
who does the job
An not q one who sings himself like ole Syl.
vanus Cobb.
All, ole Sylvanus Cobb, my boy, wen he was
on the deck
We had story teller then of giant ntelleck!
The hero of a story now he don't git in no row
No Injuns an no piruts no villains, any.
how.
The hero of today is tame-hain't got no whiz
an whirl-
Sets still an let's some other chap go in an
court his girl.
The novelists who write today have all mis-.
took their job
Not one has got the glor us gift of ole Sylvanus
Cobb.
Sylvanus took his hero where hero ought to
go,
In scrapes an awful dangers where he seemed
to have no show.
He drowned him, shot him, scalped him, but
every reader knew
Sylvanus knew his business WE'LL an he would
pull him through
He bruised him, banged him, buried him an
did a han some job,
But still we knew the chap was safe with ole
Sylyanus Cobb
He'd git the chap in dungeons deep with sol.
diers all about
To fill his body full of shot if he should once
git out.
6ylvanus was too shrewd for that an allus had
in stock
subterranus passageway through which the
chap could walk.
An through he slashed an slaughtered him, he
understood his job.
We knowed that we could trust the man with
ole Sylvanus Cobb.
We'd see the hero's funeral, we'd hear the par
son pray,
We'd see his coffin in the tomb, all neatly
packed away,
But that didn't worry US a bit. Above the
yawnin grave
We knowed Sylvanus still was there, an he
had power to save.
We'd leave him in the grave content, an we
didn't care pin.
We knowed Syvanus knowed the trick to git
him out ag'in.
While sylvanus led his hero we were not bit
afraid,
Though he marched gin an army an he faced
cannonade.
Though mine should cave in OH him, though
whirlpool sucked him in,
We all trusted to Sylvanus to produce him
sound gin.
An Sylvanus alus done it. Oh, he understood
the job.
We knowed that we could trust the man with
ole Sylvanus Cobb.
Give me them good ole days of guns, of snakes
an gapin jaws
OF wolves an ragin catamounts, with blood
upon their paws,
Wen six foot heroes courted girls that they
had snatched away
From out bloody bandits clasp an tramped
him into clay.
wish we had some writer's now who under
stood the job,
Some writers who could sling themselves like
ole Sylvanus Cobb.

Early In the Morning.


1t is early in the morning, while the lights ara
/ arouse myself from slumber and disturb each
feeting dream,
And with eyelids still aweary, often with re-
luctant feet,
go creeping down the stairway, stealing out
into the street.
When the mistiness of morning like veil
hangs DER the earth,
Ere the sad awake to weeping or the merry
ones to mirth,

bed,
At the summons of necessity to toll for daily
bread.
Just as If the sleepy city blinlzed its many
Thousand eyes,
ALI the lights look up a-twinkling to the dull
gray morning sl.ies
And the busy god of traffic stretches out his
fingers wide
Till the din of day arises, like mighty, rush.
ing tide.
Soon the daylight, growing holder, dims the
artificial glare
OF the Pickering lights that linger up and down
the thoroughfare
Till at last their resting places cen the idle
ones forsake,
And the city's heart is throbbing, and the
world is wide awake.
TITS aworld of work and worry we are passing
swiftly through,
OF day that never tarries and thousand
things to do
For, alas, we are but mortals and our task
will not be done
Till we pass beyond the portals of the setting

A WARMING.

The lark was up to meet the sun
And caroling his lay.
The farmers boy took down his gun
And at him blazed away.
The busy bee got up at five
And buzzed the meadows DER.
The farmers wife went for its hive
And robbed it of it's store.
The ant rose up at break of day,
His lab rs to begin.
The greeGy swallow flew that way
And took his antship in.
Oh, bees and birds and ants, be wise.
In proverbs take no stock.
Like me, rom sleep refuse TO rise
Till half past seven o'clock.

It is reasonable fact that man never

Protect the system From Malaria.

II is possible to do this even in regions
of country where miasma is most rife, and
where the periodic fevers which it causes
assume their most formidable types. The
immense popularity of Hostetter's Stom'
ach Bitters is very largely attributable to
the fact of it's efficacy as remedy for
chils and fever. bilious remittents, and
as preventive of the various forms of
malarial disease. In those portions of
the west and south where complaints of
this nature prevail, and in the tropics, it
ia particularly esteemed for the protective
influence which it exerts; and it has been
very widely adopted as substitute for
the dangerous and comparatively ineffi-
cient alkaloid, sulphate of quinine. Phys
icians have not been among the last to
concede it's merits, and the emphatic pro-
fessional Endorsements which it has re-
ceived have added to the reputation 1T has
obtained at home and'abroad.
