This Should Keep
 The Baby Healthy
When it is ill don't become alarmed but give this
 fine laxative

It is often difficult to tell just what Is the matter with crying, peevish baby or child too young to express it's feelings in words, but as a general rule the mother will find that there Is ten- dency to constipation. which has brought on a headache or nervousness. The little one has no pain, but feels "out of sorts.n
 The first thing to try Is family remedy containing good but mild lax ative properties, and many mothers will say that their choice would be Dr.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin Thousands of mothers keep it in the house for such emergencies, among whom may be mem toned the parents of Alton Hillenkamp, Nacogdoches, Tex, and Mrs. Maria Johnson. SPA Union St, Jacksonville, Fla They and others are glad to say that Syrup Pepsin saved them many an illness and many large doctor bill for by administering it promptly, when the first symptoms of illness were no- ticed, they prevented serious ailment.
 It is so pleasant tasting that no ,ehild win refuse it. and it does not gripe. the child is glad to take it again. A bottle can be obtained of any druggist for fifty cents or one dollar, the latter being the size bought by families al- ready familiar with it's merits.
 Syrup Pepsin is for all the family from infancy to old age, and because of its mildness families should prefer il over all. other remedies. It is abso lutely safe and reliable. You will never again give cathartics, pills, salts or such harsh physics. for they are usually unnecessary, and in the case

 MaXwells audience laughed heartily at this. It was a pretty representative as- semhblage of novelists, by the way, in- eluding. beside the chairman, Horace Annesley VachelL Maarten Maartene, Charles Garvice, Louis Tracy, and our own Louis Joseph Nareea, all of whom also made speeches.
 Maxwell described the novel as more than a national institution Tt has be- come said he, ''the recognized channel of communication between the crank and his victims. There is no other method of address, for people don't read pamphlets, and they won't read poetry" Then, having given his drastic prescription for the welfare of the novel of the future. the man who recently published one of the most psychological stories ever writ ten proceeded to predict that coming romancers will work the same vein, and, in doing so, had a litle fling at librarians, as well as at one variety of newspaper reviewer

SERBS ARE POETS
People Long Deprived of Education
 Preserved Folk Lore in Verse

From the New York Times.
 "One of the most interesting charac- teristics of the Serb race" declared Prof. Pupin, of Columbia university, honorary Servian counsul 10 the pert of New York. in the course of an in- tcrview recently, ''is it's imagination and poetic temperament. It is remark bale that a people deprived of educa- tion during 500 years of Moslem op- pression and robbed of any knowledge of their ancient written language should preserve in the form of extra ordinary beautiful verse and folk lore the details of every important incident in their history.
 Goethe. the famous German poet mastered the Seryian language for the sole purpose of studying the wealth of Serb poetry, which is handed down from generation to generation. The University of Vienna has translated poetry and 1t is studied today with amazement by scholars and litera- teurs.
 Tn Servia and in Montenegro alike many blind, lame, or crippled minstrels eke out a comfortable existence in travelling from town to town with the ancient Serb one-stringed lute and singing to the peasants the deeds of their fathers and the ancient glory of Servia From the fourteenth century to the present day every national hero has been 4immortalized in verse by humble epic anonymous bards The arthorship of this wealth of epic poetry must forever remain unknown, but the verses themselves have been preserved, not in books or upon paper, but in tho memories of the people"

 Of Introduction

London, November 16.-(Special) )-That son of famous mother, w B. Maxwell who gave us .,vivien" and "The Guarded Flame" not to mention Tn Cotton Wool, has hit on fine scheme for mak- ing a more perfect thing of the novel of the future. Maxwell unfolded this scheme at an rncommonly interesting dinner of the Authors club at which he was guest of hcuor this week. and was warmly applauded by his fellow romancers who, however, did not bind themselves to carry the scheme out.
 Naturally enough, too, since lot of them might land in the ''bread-linev if they did, for Maxwells idea amounts to nothing less than that all living novel; ists should enter into a solemn league and covenant Gas they say in ulster), not to write another novel for at least five years. Maxwell said he thought that obviously the best thing that could hap pen for the future welfare of the novel. Think what universal shake-out if would mean,' he said. Books that de- served d second or even third reading would get it. readers would learn and writers would rest. It would be as though we had all lived to see the verdict of posterity recorded for or against us And 1 wonder how many fors' there would be-

Origin of "Fire Water.

From Comforts Spirit and Wine Circular.
 When the Hudson's Bay Trading com pany began it's trading among the In- dians it was found that by selling the h. dians liquor they could more easily be
 induced to trade their peltries The first whisky or intoxlcant of inferior quality was distilled in England and brought to America in large barrels. but in trans porting it overland it was found more convenient to divide it into small kegs. The traders soon became aware of the fact that by diluting the whisky with water more furs could be obtained. This was practised for some time, but the Indians learned that good whisky poured on a fire would cause it to flame I'D. whereas had the whisky been diluted the fire would be quenched. It was by this simple experiment. that the term fire water" became q common word among Indians. A chief who had experienced the bad effects of whisky among his people said it was most certainly dis titled from the hearts of wildcats and the tongues of women from the effects it produced.

Governor.Elect Robinson Attributes
 His Success to Mrs. Robinson.

Mrs. Ewuda Gertrude Robinson wife of Gubernatorial Nominee Joe T. Robinson, was married to the now congressman in 1896. Mrs. Robinson is known as a social leader in Lonke and in Washington. where she has accompanied her husband for the last ten years. On her mothers side Mrs. Robinson is a member of the Grady family of Georgia. and a relative of the late Henry w. Grady, the distin. guished Southern orator.

During the campaign that has just closed she managed the headquarters at Lonoke, assisted by the T c. Hind man Chapter, Daughters of the Con. federacy, and other Lonoke friends. During the last week of the campaign she travelled over the state with Con. gressman Robinson, and cn the night of the election received the telegrams of congratulstion that poured in from over the state long after Mir. Robin. son had felt assured of surcess and retired for the night.

Statement Recites Conditions That
 Induced His Candidacy.

Little Rock-Goverpor George w.. Donaghey has issued the following statement. in which he comedies his defeat:
 q think the official returns from the primary just held VIII materially reduce the majG~ities now forecast but sufficient information Is at hand to warrant a concession from me that my opponent, MT Joe T. Robinson, has received the nomination for gov ernor.
 Concerning the campaign between Mir Robinson and myself. l have this to say. Since the opening hours of the last legislature there has never been a time when I could have credit ably and conscientiously withdrawn from the fight for better condition of the states affairs. Attacks had been made on mo before. but at this time they were renewed by more solidly organized and more deter mined opposition. This opposition was composed of men outside as well as inside, the legislature. They were bitter in their denunciation of every effort that I made for the relief of the states necessity. The conduct of the legislature Is well known to all. It's closing hours scored defeat Of practically every measure for the best interests of the people. The states financial condition was materially worsted, instead of helped. In all in- stances. when the state was set back, the cause as charged to me and her aided to the public with loud acclaim. The things that l wanted to do, and was elected to do, apparently were purposely defeated As l saw it then, there was nothing for me to do but become a candidate for reelection. I announced on a platform of principles which 1 then believed, and still be- lieve, to be for the best interests or the people Chief among these were the Turner-Jacobson bill. for the TO- form of our taxing system, and the expulsion of the whiskey machine from the legislative halls of the state. These measures were the dominating issues. The opposition has made it's whole fight on them. Of course other obiections were alleged to my candl- dacy, and the third term proposition undoubtedly caused many votes to be cast against me. But all else was
