i HAVE PLAYED THE FOOL"
The Discourse of Kev. Isaac Peart
at the Methodist Episcopal Church
Last Sunday Evening.
Rtv. Dr. Prt at the Mothodlst
Episcopal church Sunday night took
his text from 1st Samuel 2:2U "I liavs,
gene and Dlayed the fool."' The con-
a-rea-atlon was a large and represent.-
tlve one. Dr. Taart said:
"I have gone and played the fool"

Ho Is the first king to sway the scep
ter of authority and power over the
children of Israel. At this juncture It
Is proper to ask "Of what does his
folly oonslst?" I answer. 1. Jealousy.

times to kill him. A man who will try.
to murder his dearest friend, Is sure
enough a fool. I. His deliberate dls-
obedience ,to dlvlm authority. Hit1
reign Is a series of disobedient acts and!
and defeat. 3. He fights against God,
and this Is always an act of folly. j
Tonight I propose to point out a few
ways In which persons ploy the fool.
t. A person who spends money fori
that which Is not brwid Is playing thel
fool. What Is the cause of hard times?
We. differ In our answers to this o,ties-
tlon, But when we ank "What Is thel
cause of poverty?" we are almost unan-1
lmous In our answer namely, "Riot-:
mi tivimr" m, fho aimrio tnniW,i
or the double standard; not high tariff
or low tariff; not a lack of confidence,
but a wasting of substance In spending
money for that whloh Is not bread. Is
the cause of nine-tenths of the poverty
in our land. Allow me to call your at
tention to a few facts. It costs Ohio
more for dogs than for missions. One'
million five hundred thousand dollars,
$20.00 Suits and Overcoats, $10.00
$25.00 Suits and Overcoats. $12.60
$30.00 Suits and Overcoats. $16.00
$35.00 Suits and Oveicoate. $17 60
$40.00 Suits and Overcoats. $20.00
Not cheap garment makers, the only thing cheap iibout our suiis is the price.
Our suits huve that styles-fit and finish about them that well-dressed gentle
men appreciate. Astorians are cordially invited to call and inspect our goods
whether thoy buy or not:

for tubnrco-a million and a halt of
dollars for which we got no return.
In a rvent labor ilemoimtrRtlon in the
city of Chliairo crlt of poverty and
want wctv heard on all aide: torl.t of
hunger and starvation were told by the
orator of the day. Yt 3.0(H) keirs of
beer were consumed by those taking I h"se with whom we associate. Evil
port In the demonstration. A dollar aj companions contaminate, poison nnd
keg would be $3,000. That amount destroy. Young men and young women
would have got a long ways In allevl-1 have a craving for high, exalted, ele
atlng tho suffering elaborated upon by j v.ted and ennobling things. Get up.on
the atenkt-r "f tin) day. Some time
ago an eminent divine of Boston made
this startling statement: "My church
will take cure of overy person suffer
ing from hard times If the city of Ilos
ton will take cars of all those who are
In destitute circumstances coiwd by
spending thi'lr money for drink and In
houses of prostitution and. Urn' like"
To spend money for that which Is not
bread Is a piece of consummate 'oily.
3. Persons who speculate on borrowed
money are playing the fool. To do this
Is an net of suicide. I know two good
men who ore suffering ImiiK-nnely be.

financial pit In which they are is so
deep that the star of hope cannot be
seen. The rlghteousmw of speculation

uliitlon ou borrowed money Ib the sum -
nit of folly.
n, A person wno npenus more tnan ne
earns or lives beyond his means plays
the fool. If a natln consumes more
thun she uroduoes she will soon become
bankrupt. Sa If a man spends more
than he makes he will surely Involve
himself In difficulty. Let me show you
how this I. done. Here ore two men.

public men In tho national capital have
been ruined by living beyond their

I have been crowded all my life.' This
man would not have been crowded had
he lived within his good income."
4. A person who Joins himself to evil

THE great rush of people to take advantage of our extraordinary offers in uncalled for suits and overcoat has been marvelous from the very beginning.
The popularity of these suits has become so great that we have been compelled to open correspondence with over one hundred of the largest Tail
oring concerns throughout the country in order to get these suits tat enough to supply the enormous demand. These are not misfit. , but suits
made to order on which deposits have been paid and which for unkown reasons remained uncalled for. Such things happen to every Tailoring establish
establishment. It is by advertising and making a feature of selling these suits that they find it more advantageous to consign them to us than to attempt
to dispose of them from their own establishments.

KiiKllshman once said: "If I cannot
