She faced him, as he stood and smiled,
 Awaiting her decision; Her air was not one to be styled
 As tinctured with derision And yet her eyes returned his glance
 With an impressive glitter. She spoke-Did that end a romance?-
 Her speech was very bitter. Twas but an instant in their lives,
 A word-one word-was spoken. Was this the hour that oft arrives,
 When plighted troth is broken? He looked at her, half lfunconcerned,
 And to himself he muttered, As with another smile he turned,
 The bitter word she uttered. An, we who are but lookers-on
 At lives of those about us The murmurs that have come and gone
 Make mock of us and fiout us. Each of us needs not smiles nor tears
 Nor ever even guesses How much of what he faintly hears
 Is brimmed with bitternesses. This fair young girl-her eyes were red
 As though with long. long weeping. Her gaze was all intently set
 As though from lack of sleeping; The calm young man, all debonair,-
 What language could be filter For his disinterested air
 Than her speech, which was bitter? He turned away, as we have told,
 Then brought a packet to her Did it contain some pledge of gold?
 Did he, forsooth, once woo her? An, now the mystery is cleared!
 Our signing here is rested. Twas not as bad as we had feared
 "Quinine," twas, she'd requested.

EARNING AN HONEST QUARTER
Great Painter, Unrecosnized, Accept ed Gratuity and Turned Good
 Stroke of Business.

Winslow Homer was a great painter have his merit appreciated early in life But no one ever presumed less on a wide reputation. Affectation was a weakness from which his sense of humor saved him.
 In his biography, lately written by Mir. W. H. Downs, is printed the story of New York gentleman of wealth and artistic tastes who made the jour ney to Scarboro, Maine, where Homer has his studio, to make the artists acquaintance.
 On his arrival he found the studio door locked; the owner was nowhere to be seen. He wandered about the cliffs for while, until he met man in a rough old suit of clothes, rubber boots, and a battered felt hat, who carried a fishpole. He accosted the fisherman thus:
 q say my man, if you can tell me where I can find Winslow Homer, have quarter for you"
 Where's your quarter?" said the fisherman.
 He handed it over, and was astound- ed to hear the quiZzical Yankee fisher man say, 'I am Winslow Homer"
 The sequel of this unusual introduc- tion was that Homer took his new ac- quaintance back to the studio, enter tained him, and before he left sold him a picture.

THE DOCTOR HABIT And How She Overcame 1t.

When well selected food has helped the honest physician place his patient in sturdy health and free from the doctor habit" it is source of satis faction to all parties. A Chicago wom an says:
 We have not had doctor in the house during all the years that we have been using Grape-Nuts food. Be- fore we began, however, we had the doctor habit and scarcely week went by without a call on our physician.
 When our youngest boy arrived, 5 years ago, I was very much run down and nervous, suffering from indiges. tion and almost continuous headaches. I was not able to attend to my ordinary domestic duties and was so nervous that I could scarcely control myself. Under advice I took to Grape-Nuts.
 T am now, and have been ever since we began to use Grape-Nuts food, able to do all my own work. The dyspep- sia, headaches, nervousness and rheu- matism which used to drive me fairly wild, have entirely disappeared.
 My husband finds that in the night work in which he is engaged, Grape. Nuts food supplies him the most whole some. strengthening and satisfying lunch he ever took with him." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

CAMDEN MISS
 HELPED BY CARDUI
Miss Wilson Suffered for Nine Years, but Finally Obtained
 Relief by Taking Cardui.

Camden, Miss.-"About five years ago." says Miss W. E. Wilson, of this place, q had to undergo an opera tion, and after that it hurt me to stand on my feet or walk much.
 I had suffered, more or less, with womanly troubles, for more than nine years, and was very weak and nerv- ous.
 As soon as I commenced to take Cardui, felt better Now l am not taking any medicine, for I don't need any.
 Cardui has done me more good than anything I have ever taken. It is the grandest medicine for women that was ever made"
 This remarkable letter, from lady who has actually tried Cardui, ought surely to convince you of the genuine merit of this successful medicine, and induce you to give 1t 8 trial for your own troubles.
 Cardui is the ideal remedy for all weak, suffering women, young or old.

"The importance of this whole ques- tion of publicity to the consumer is growing on the manufacturer. He sees his competitor or some man in another line turning the trick of pub licity and he sit up and thinks. He is gradually realizing that localized, crystalized publicity in the home is what pays best and that he can only get that through the newspaper The Daily Club.
