some right to ask you what will out,
whether or no tbs seeing you SO
well does it. Nell, for | know the
rough fellow | am-what a poor sort
for a pretty girl like you. And I've
seen you laughing at me often enough.
But for love, you couldn't squeeze
more love, Nell, out of any one hui
man heart than there is in mine for
you"
He stopped short, then shook the
flowers in his big fist vindictively.
IF these were golden sovereigns
all, that would bring home a little
nearer TO being worthy Of you, may

IF they were sovereigns all, would

NO" was Nell's whole answer-an
unaccustomed monosyllable
IF you could even like me, Nell" he

that awaited him.
Nell caught at branch of the gold
en-rod as it fell, and twirled it in her
thin fingers.
I've always liked you; it's only my
way to laugh" she said. There's
nothing in it. Like as not I'll laugh at
you up to my dying day; but if you
take me, you'll find that there's no
harm in that-that it won't prevent
me being a good wife and loving you
When it changed TO love | don't

But when ! saw you coming along
with that great yellow bunch and the
sun on your face making it shine like
a sun behind it, and looking so strong
and bright, knew better than that"
But Joe had found his speech.
Lord, how | love you!" he cried, as
his strong arms went round her.
That's all want" said Nell. "Yet,
think, If you'd come this time with
cabbage, should have refused you"
Then bless the flowers!" laughed
Joe. If he could not wholly under

THE CHArTANooGA ADVERTISING

The Chattanooga Medicine Company with,
laboratories and general offices at Chattanooga
Tennessee, and branch houses at ST. Louis Mo,
and san Francisco CAL, has become one of the
largest proprietary medicine concerns in the
world. In the growth of this great business two
products-Wine of Cardui and Thedfords Black
Draught-has been widely recognized and the
original advertising methods adopted have excited
great comment The publicity for these medi-
cines does not consist of the catch phrase and
travagant statement, too often employed in adver-
tising to-day but instead the plain story of ex-
perience with the medicines given in the plain
language of the people themselves. The follow
ing letter is a fair sample of the thousands of
Wine Of Cardui testimonials published during the
mast twenty wears.
