with toys all the days of their lives.

ROOSEVELT all these named stood unceas
ingly and unselfishly for the greatest good to
mankind.
The names above given are always to be
spelled in capitals because they were mountains
of character and characters that begot
character.
Men and women can close the shutters upon
themselves and go begging all their lives
unrecognized and without a glint of Summer in
their souls, or they may be grateful for noble
examples and take encouragement and endeavor
from the foremost folks of history to create a
new atmosphere in life.
There is time enough left, but none to spare.
We are speaking to ourselves as well as to
others with whom we are associated.

The Compensation
of a Last-Minute
Man
The nearer it Rets to Easter tlie greater should be
lu's zest and pleasure in selecting Easter finery.
The less leeway he allows himself in the matter of
time, the keener his satisfaction over having chosen
the right things just as the man who was barely in
lime for a train, which his heart was set upon catching,
seems to enjoy the trip more than the people who sat
so long in their seats waiting for it to pull out.
It is psychological. AIL normal people have a par
ticular relish for the satisfaction they manage to secure
by a good last-minute rush. Satisfaction how is a man
to make sure of it in the choosing of his Easter clothes
at the last minute?
For one thing, he can forestall it in choosing the
store.
Admittedly this Wanamaker business is one of great
facilities of service. The last-minute man has all of
these to call upon now.
And if he calls his common sense to his aid, he will
readily see that these great facilities have come as the
result of doing things better than they are generally
done, of keeping our bead and keeping our word and
keeping steadfastly to a standard in men's clothing
than which there is none higher anywhere and none we
know of that is quite so high.
Suits, $28 to $65.
Overcoats, ?.'30 to $50.

Men Who Forgot to Get New
Shirts and Ties
should know that it is not et too late to choose these important
parts of the Easter costume.
They can come into this- Jlen's-Wear Stoic and take their
pick of hundreds of fine madras, percale and silk shirts and thou
sands of beautiful ties.
The shirts range in price from $1.G5, foi one of percale, to
$10, for a beauty of silk.
Neckties aie in good variety at 50c, of impoited foulard at
$1, and of splendid English Spitalfi.-lds silk at $2.50 and $!).
