Carleton, is THE Burning Of Chicago"
written FOR and just published in Our

tive literary and family journal, pub
lished by Waters, Eberts & Co., 783

The poem is in Mr.. Cartoons best
vein; beautiful in thought, grand in
conception, graphic in expression, and
sustained throughout. The enterpris-
ing publishers were fortunate in secur-
ing this contribution from the author.
In this connection we may say that the

prime favorite with the masses of the
reading public. 1t is an eight page,
illustrated, literary and family, week

ing and useful reading matter. The

make it first class paper, and secure for
it very large circulation. They in

One hundred thousand dollars in
