Wsstsrn Nen»pap«r Iniuli.i ONK year ago Charlie had come to the city to muke his fortune. He was 1 fond of furmlng and farm stock; but tliey were a slow means to wealth. He would go to the city for the fortune, ■■ and then would come back and purchase the best farm in the vicinity and have fine horses and big meadows and—envious neighbors. Now ne was stnndlng on a street corner, with hands thrust deep down Into lila pockets und wearing the same clothes he had brought from home. Hut the clothes were soiled and worn threadbare and shlnj, and the shoes were unhlacked, and the hat lacking part of Its brim; and long ago lie had discarded such extris as col lars apd cuffs. The fingers of one hand played Idly with his last two half dollars, both of/Vhlch were owed for the poor little room he rented on one of the hack streets; and the other fin gers touched several pawn tickets, which he hal no expectation of re deeming. Indeed, he wan wondering dully If there were anything else In Ills trunk that could be pawned, lie Thera Waa No Proapact for a Dinner. hail had no breakfast, and there was no prospect for a dinner—and this was Thanksgiving. A few yards away, a street boy was sitting on a drygootla box. swinging his bare feet rhythmically to the tune he was whistling. Hut his eyes were fixed on the listless figure of bis neighbor, "Say. Country," he called, suddenly, 'what you thinkln' of?" Charlie flushed but' Old not answer. "Come, don't make an owl o' your self," the boy went on.

An embroidered monogram is a handsome finish to a good cloth, but it Is less noticeable there than on the napkins which for dinner should be large and square. For embroidery the long slender letters are preferred. It is a pretty sentiment at a Thanksgiving dinner to use dishes which are heirlooms for one course. back into space and beat a lively ac companiment to the conclusion of the tune. Then he looked at Charlie. "Now, what's broke with you?" he demanded. "You ain't stalled, an' you got shoes on your feel." "But I can't eat my shoes," Charlie j retorted. "And the two coins I have left are to pay for my room. And— what's more, I'm out of a job. 'Twasn't much —sweeping out offices— but It meant a roof, and something to eat." The street boy stopped drumming and looked at him with more interest, " "l is sort o' bad," he acknowledged. "An' you're beln' from the country an' knowln' notliin' makes It worse. What'd you come for?" "Why, to get rich, of course," Char lie answered. "What does anyone come to the city for?" "Hnhderisively, "an' here I've been lookln' ahead to goln' Into the country to get rich. Say, do you have fellers like me. an' like that crowd on the sidewalk, up in your country?" Charlie looked at lilni, and then at the half-down disreputable men who were smoking in front of a billiard room opjMislte, and the two or three women sorting over an ash-barrel, and the squalid, dirty-faced children play ing and lighting along the gutter, and answered, with an expression of dis gust . "No. indeed!" "Thought so. Then the country's the richest and best piui-e." lie looked at Charlie a little enviously. "Say. you got horses an' cows an' dogs an' chickens, an' a pa an' ma. an' green grass an' flshin' up there?" he demanded. "Of course," with eager recollection In his voice; "and miles and miles of woods where we go after chestnuts and gr»[>es In the fall, and MR ponds to skate on In tfie winter." "An' you run away from them—for this?" snatching Ills frugment of'a cap and hurling It Into the gutter us ex pressive of his unutterable disgust.

Charlie laughed In spite of himself, then his face became grave. Beneath the light ness of the speaker's words had been an undercurrent of seriousness which appealed directly to his discourage ment and homesickness. Yes, he would go home. As the street' hoy rose and wiped the mud from his face, Charlie steppsd up to him. "Thank you for your advice," lie said. "I'm going to take it." "Honest?" with a ring of satisfac tion in his voice. "Then, fare ye well, an' if forever —but say." as Charlie was starting down the sidewalk, "give me a tip to your barrel, an' meblw* I'll come out an' sjiend my vacation with you next summer."

C. —"When I hati chunge of life, I suffered with my back, sides and head," says Mrs: J. M. Fisher: of this place. "It seemed like all the blood in my body rushed to my head My face would burn and I would get dizzy when I would stoop over. I was so easily depressed and suffered quite a lot of pain. I was nervous and easily upset. "I heard of Cardui and . . . sent for a bottle and took It. I wasn't sure I was better, but I knew I was no worse, so thought I would try another bottl.v After the second I knew I was better. I took about four In all, and then two more later. "I certainly was helped." "That mapy of the disagreeable symptoms attending "the change" may be relieved, has been proved by the experience of thousands of women wh> have taken Cardui. Certainly every woman Is much bet ter off who gets through middle age with as little suffering as possible, and the assistance obtainable from Cardui Is valuable, Indeed. No woman enter ing or approaching this critical period should neglect giving this well-known tonic medicine a fair trial Immediate!,r upon its need being Indicated.
