THE APPARENT REASON.
She Readily Accounted for the Com
stant Wearing of the
HalOs.

Dotty sat on a stool beside her mother
looking at the pictures in an old church
book. There were angels and cheTublm
and harpiSts galore, and in them the child
found much to interest her. The last pic
ture in the book was of a dozen or more
angels floating on the clouds. Above the
head Of each shone the symbolic halo. Those
halos bothered Dotty She had never seen
such a head dress and she was perplexed.
After minutes thought She held the book
up TO her mother and said: See, mamma,
the ladies what's got wings and funny things
on their heads
The mother looked CHOSE are angels,
dear, She said
And what's the funny rings on their
heads, mammal" the child asked
Those are halos, Dotty."
Does they wear them always, mamma
Does all angels wear themE'
Yes, Dotty All angels wear them and
they wear them all the time
when they in the house,
yes Dotty.'
When they's asleep"
q guess they wea.s their halos all the
time mamma, cause they're afraid if they

MATTER OF FACT.
Change from 1.-The Style TO which
She Had Been Accustomed"

He is a young man whose unbounded as.
surance has ever been his chief character
istic.
When he proceeded to talk to the practical
old gentleman about marrying his daughter
he was evidently prepared for the usual
questions
DO you think you can support my daugh-
ter in the style to which She has been ac-
customed?'
The parent spoke this phrase with the air
of a man who thinks he has uttered poser.
The sutton looked him in the eye.
Let's talk this thing over" he said. do
you think your daughter Is qualified to make
a man a good wife,
Yes, sir. Her mother and are both
practical people and we have given her a
practical education. She can not only read
Greek and play the piano-she practices
three hours day-but she can get a good
dinner and make her purchases in market
as lntelligently as an experienced steward.
Moreover, her abilities with the needle are
not confined TO fancy work. She's treas
ure, and we don't propose to have any mis-
understandings about her future.
You were asking me if | thought ! could
support her in the style TO which she has
been accustomed

After she mdrries me she's not going to
practice three hours a day on any piano
nor cook dinners nor take back talk from
market people. She's going TO have all the
sewing done outside of the house read what
she enjoys, whether it's Greek or Choctaw,
and go to the matinee twice a week. Its

good times in this life Washington Star

thus saving his life, but the portion of
the barn where the Others were sleep

even keel.
This much accomplished. preparations are
made to float the wreck. In the case Of the
Colon divers will be utilized to place the
empty air bags in the lower decks. Each
bag is supposed to be capable OF lifting
thirteen tons. AS the spaniard was a heavy
ship, a great number Of these. in addition
to the pontoons, will be needed. The plac-
ing Of the bags is not a difficult task as a
rule, but due attention must be paid to the
tide on the Cuban coast, and to the fact
that the spot is entirely open to the sea and
the sweep Of the southern winds.
A better understanding OF the work neces-
sary in raising the Colon can be obtained
from a description OF the wrecking OF the
Wells City, an English steamer Of 1000 tons,
which was sent to the bottom Of the North
river by a collision with the American
steamer Guyandotte. The same company is
now working on the Spanish war ships

Of pontoons was used. The three pairs OF
pontoons employed then had a greater rails
ing capacity than the tonnage Of the
steamer. This was rendered necessary by
