Cincinnati and Chicago. This firm commenced
business in 1886, in Cleveland, and from a
small beginning has grown to immense pro-
portions, now occupying the largest building
in this country devoted TO music publishing.
They publish over fifteen thousand different
pieces of music and hundreds of popular mu-
sic books of all kinds. They also publish
Brainard's Musical World a monthly maya
zine which is well known all over the country.
In order to facilitate their large western trade
S. Brainard's Sons have established large

complete stock of everything in the line Of
sheet music and music books can at all times

Mr. EDITOR The all absorbing topic to-
day is the recent robbery at j. Chambers
shoe shop of pair of boots, by an en-
terprisi1g young man named johnson. de
was arrested last Saturday evening, and to-.
day was committed to the county boarding
house to await trial. His former companions
are rather down on him, since the fact has
come to light. By them he is called a brute,
with the usual bar-room adjectives, and they
tell how cruel he has been o his old father
and mother; but they never thought of his
cruelty to his parents as long as be could
muster dine to treat his very virtuous
accusers, viz, the saloon loafers, to bad
whiskey or lager beer. While he could pay
for liquors he was very much thought Of, and
the opinion of laS,abiding, temperance peo-
pie was derded; but so soon as he got in
limbo his very admiring friends we're among
the first to abuse him. We are not under
taking to take his part, but we would like to
see those who have helped to ruin him by
selling and giving him liquor, thereby causing
him to be so ungratefu to his old ia Their and
mother stick to him. DARLING.

wives their husbands, but moth
er's love endures through all. In
good repute, in bad repute, in the
face of the worlds condemnation, a
mother still loves on, and still hopes
that her child may turn from his

childhood, the opening promise OF
his youth /; and che can never be
