Rudyard Kipling has filled a wide horizon
In the literary world for several years,

Poets." The author evidently has three
objects In view, one of which is to main
tain a high standard of clean literature.

STEINWAY PIANOS.
A Novel Idea. Several years ago some
ono conceived the novel idea of taking
care of gentlemen's clothing, keeping it
cleaned, pressed, buttons sewed on, rips
sewed up, eta, for a small consideration
each month. H. E. Joy. who was then
conducting a tailor shop on Second street, ;
took the matter up under tho fitting name i
"TTnlmiA T.tlAvf( .Ma-i. " TVia firm
advertised extensively, and' by careful ' P??9. " " F mtmttl' "?
management soon gained a standing
among the business men. Since that time
several other firms have made an attempt.
As we represent the best make of pianos
in every grade, from the Steinway down
to low-priced makers, and as our install
ment payments are easier than thoso of
other dealers, wo are the people from
whom you should purchase. New upright
but failed la a short time, one firm spend
ing several thousand dollars. It seems
to be a peculiar business that requires a
great deal of experience to achieve suc
cess, xne "unique people aeserve great
credit for their untiring and energetic ef
forts. Six O'clock Closing Meeting. Tho
