A Question of [Grave Doubt
(If You Do Not Care What Kind of
Clothes You Buy, Read no Further.)
Wool is high and clothes are dear—yet you
are offered suits at $15.00, say. Now, it may per
haps be done, but it is a question of grave doubt
if clothes worthy of a man’s wear can be made
and put on the market at a profit for that price.
Our clothes for you to see and try on are
STEIN-BLOCH make and the lowest price we
charge is $22.50. Yet the difference in fit, in
style, in workmanship, and in durability, is far
more to you than $7.50.
Will you examine and try on ?

Jacob Riis on
Neighborliness
RAM’S HORN
BEAUTIFUL story was
told by Jacob A. Riis in
h' s address at the com
mencement exercises at
waj|£m£gjl£j Ashley hall, a school for
young women in Charles
ton, whose principal, .Miss Mary V. |
Mcßee, was once a director with him j
in his east side settlement work in
New York. The world were poor in- ’
deed, he said, but for the noble en
thusiasm of youth.
As an illustration of what he meant
he told them this touching and beau
tiful story of “Heartsease." a woman
who did her little part, taithfully as
she found it:
"I came upon her one night,” he
said, "in a mean street over on the
west side. A brass plate on the
' door arrested my attention as I
| passed. ‘Heartsease.’ it said, and I
went in. Where they are easing
weary hearts, there I want to be. The
house was more of a box than a house.
The elevated railroad ran in front,
right under the windows. It was
flanked on one side by a factory, on
the other by a jail. In the rear a
building was going up, plumb up
against its wall, that would soon en
tirely close the back windows. Those
in front you could not open for the
dust and noise of the elevated.
"There i found my tittle woman.
She was a school teacher —taught by
day in a public school over at Cypress
Hills, L. 1., and when her work was
done there she came nil the many
miles, and across the river, to this
place, to be near the neighbor. For
she had been brought up at Northfield
under the inspiration ot Mr. Moody’s
life, and she knew that for her task —
to And the neighbor.
"Who were these neighbors?—
drunken and dissolute women, vile
dens and dives. It seemed the last
place a woman of refinement and mod
esty would have chosen, but she did.
At all hours of the night her bell rang,
and they came, sometimes attended by
policemen. One said: ’We have this
case. She is not wanted in this home
or that institution. She don’t come
under their rules. I took her here in
hope that you might stretch yours
and take her in. Else we don’t know
what to do with her.’
“’Bless you! We have no rules.
Let her come in.’ And she takes her
and puts her to bed.
"In the midnight hour she hears of
a young woman, evidently a newcom
er, w'hom the dive has in its clutch,
and she gets out of bed and, going
there, demands her sis'er, and gets
her from out the very Jaws of hell.
| Again, a drunken woman finds her
way to her door —a woman with a
husband and children —and she gets
out of her warm bed again and takes
her home, never leaving her till she
is safe.
“I found her papering the walls and
painting the floor of her house. I
said to her that I did not think you
could do much with those women —
and neither can you, if they are ‘just
those women’ to you. The Saviour
could. One came and sat at his feet
and wept, and dried them with her
hair.
“‘Oh!’ she said, ‘it isn’t so. They
copie, and they are glad to stay. I
don’t know that they are finally saved,
that they never stumble again: but
here, anyhow, we have given them a
resting spell and time to think.’
“An«' she told me of some of them.
“‘I don’t consider,’ she finished,
‘that I am doing it rignt, but I will
yet.’
“I looked at her, this frail young
girl, with unshaken, unshakable faith
in the right, and asked her how she
managed it —financially She laughed.
“ ‘The rent is pledged by half a
dozen friends. The res’. —about $l5O
a month —comes.’
“‘But how?’
“She pointed to. a lot of circulars,
painfully written out in the night
watches.
“ Tin selling soap just now.’ she
said, ‘hut it isn’t always soap.’
“ ‘Here,’ patting a chair, ’this is
Larkin's soap; that chafing dish is
green stamps. This set of dishes is
Mother’s fiats. We could not get the
oh: you know, you have to find the let
ters; but ( wrote and told them and
we got the dishes. I write to people
and they buy the things and we get
the prizes. We’ve furnished the house
so. And some give ns money. We
have even got a building fund. We
shall have to move some day.’ ”

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER.
Game for Two
Now, as he entered the parlor he
gave the impression of a young gen
tleman whose hands w r ere empty, and
no matter how he was viewed the gaze
Slew back to the emptiness of his hands.
Oh, most unmistakably empty were his
hands, and absolutely innocent of eith
er candy or flowers. Most conscious
ly empty, too, they were, blushing a
dull red as they hung by their thumbs
I from his waistcoat pockets in a sheep
] ish sort of way, hanging in shame, as
I it were, and yet with a sort of sullen
I bravado, as though saying:
j “Well, what of it?”
Yes, even thus our hero entered the
parlor and said:
“Hello!”
And as his salutation is subdued
into silence, let us look at the lady
in the case and see whether the eye of
circumspection can come to rest on a
matter so mobile. Plump and cozy
and divinely short was the lady in
question, with a pert, quick manner of
movement and eyes that were alter
nately bright with speculation or
brighter yet with conviction.
“How late you are!”
“Yes,” said he, “I made up my mind
that, beginning with the new year, I
was going to w r ork hard, and that’s
what kept me.”
“Gracious!” said she, and again she
looked at the emptiness and the sheep
ishness of his hands.
( “I —I didn’t bring any flowers to
night,” he said. “I’d been thinking it
aver, and it seemed such a —such a—
such a —such a —that, anyway, I swore
off.”
“My!" said she, and swinging her
foot, she asked, in a careless man
ner: “Did you swear anything else
off, John?”
“Well,” he said, avoiding her eye,
‘candy.”
And brighter grew her glance.
“And concerts,” he continued, his
voice dropping a note and hanging
over the edge of the tragics.
And even brighter grew her glance.
“And all sorts of shows,” he con
cluded, far, far down the keyboard.
“My!” said she. “You were busy!”
“Yes,” he said, trying to look at
her in a significant manner. “And
now I’ll be able to save a little money
and then —”
“Flowers,” she said, raising one
Anger.
He nodded.
“Candy,” she said, raising another,
. He nodded again.
I “Concerts.”
Again he nodded.
“And all sorts of shows,” she con
( eluded.
I And, nodding again, he drew' a long
! fcreath and made room for her on the
J sofa, saying:
I “Grace!”
| “No,” she mournfully made answer.
f “I've sworn off.”
“Sworn off what?”
“Sitting on the sofa like you meant
i made up my mind that beginning
with the new year, I was keeping you
away from your work too much. So,
I just swore off.” And, shaking her
head, she sighed: “No. No more,
John.”
Whereupon he went over to her
with considerable velocity of locomo
tion, holding out his hand and crying
with emotion:
“Grace!”
“No,” she murmured, putting her
hands behiud her and shaking her
head. ‘‘l've sworn that off, too, John!”
“Sworn what off?” demanded John.
“Holding hands,” she murmured
again.
“You have, have you?”
“Oh, dear, yes!” And still keeping
her hands behind her, she looked up
at him and pleasantly remarked “What
a beautiful day it has been, John!”
But as for John, he marched out into
the hall, jammed his hat on his head,
and laid violent hands upon his coat.
She followed him.
“Goodby!” he muttered.
“Goodby, John,” she pleasantly an
swered him.
Goodby forever!” he said, punishing
his coat.
“Oh, that’s such a long time!” she
said.
i “So it's all over between us!” he
scowled, turning up his coat collar and
looking ferocious.
And as for John, John slammed
the door open, passed out into the ves
tibule and banged the door behind him.
From the hall inside she pleasantly
waved her hand at him and turning to
annihilate her with an awful look his
eyes fell upon the solitaire that gleam
ed from one of her fingers.
“Here, I want my ring back!” he
pantomimed to her through the glass
of the door.
To wueh she pleasantly pantomim
ed back:
; “I’ve sworn off giving rings back,
\ John."
- And pleasantly drew down the blind.
!And as for John, John sat down on
the top step buried in thought, from
r which he emerged at last, saying to
> himself:
“I wonder if I'd better get some
flowers and candy and come right back
or telephone her in the morning that
I'U call for her tomorrow night and
! take her to a show?”
And as a certain picture arose be
fore him of two persons sitting on a
sofa, eating candy together, he hur
riedly turned his steps to the candy
shop and hurriedly muttered:
"I guess I’d better come right back!"
•Deafness Cannot Be Cured*
by liH'ul applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, ami that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, ami when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out ami
this tube restored to its normal condition, bear*
