:"NbffBCK::SfBRVSTi6N . . - J (BY ZTJLA NEVTTT .) The little one that is soon to open its eyes on the world la the ome of August Eeuting and his wife, at 434 West Third Booth street, will find it a very dreary world Indeed. . . A few old clothes left over from the last baby will be all the covering the little one will have, while the cheerless room will be without fire and wont of all there will be nothing to eat. For August Beuting has been out of work for two months and there is not so much miJ cent piece in hiwragzed pocket anv more. Each day he has i tramped from door to door asking for something to do anything from lending lend-ing furnace- to mending a masie box, and everywhere, at warehouse, factory, and home the answer has been: "We have nothing.". And each evening he has gone back to the cheer-less cheer-less little room he calls home with the same atory of discouragement for , the sad-eyed young wife and the two-year-old baby. Worst of all the food supply of the Beutlng family, never extensive, has grown smaller until actual starvation is faxing them. "I have been to the different business houses to try aod get work and at evtry one they say, 'There is nothing now. call again 1' I have no money to get out of the city and no money to get anything t6 live on. Kent is due, coal is scarce and we have not much to eat and clothing is short. "What shall I do, what shall I dot" is the pitiful story of Renting. I "I am willing to do anything, anything. any-thing. I can do ropaii'iu,; or carpentry carpen-try or fixing up things in houses or stores, Isy carpets or nx music boxes, repair most anything in the household line, fix sewing machines, take care of furnaces. I am willing to do anything to earn monev for my familv. And we are not very far from starvation now." The need of the Reuting family is desperate. Mrs. Reuting needs clothes for herself and for the babv that will arrive soon, and clothes for the two-year two-year old child. But most of all the family need food.
