Notwithstanding her nose turned up, there

which may be considered to be competent
testimony that heredity isn't everything
She was visiting in Brooklyn before the hot
spell and the first young man she met was
one who prides himself on his iDtellsctuals.
Whether anyone else does or not is another
story. As it happened, the young man had
an opportunity shortly after the meeting
to talk with the young woman alone, and he
did not fail to throw a few brains at her.

CONGRESSMAN BERRY.
His Opinion 10 That Uncle sam should Take
and Keep Every Foot of Land Ihnt
Game to Us By the War

NEw YORK, Oct S.-A special TO tho
Times from Washington says: Repre-
sentative Berry, of kentucky, who is a
member of the committee on foreign
affairs, when asked what position the
democrats would take about annexa-
ton, answered without hesitation:
Il can answer only for myself. My
own position is that the United States
should take and keep every foot of
ground that has come to us by virtue
of thrashing the Spaniards We
should do this without listening to or
considering the opinion of any other
nation. IL we choose later on to give
away or sell any part OF this conquered
territory, it is our right to do SO, and
no other power can say aught against
it. What we have won by the sword is
absolutely our own

THE APPARENT REASON.
She Readily Accounted for the Con-
slant 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 cherubim
end harplsts galore, and in them the child
found much to interest her The last pic
ture in the book was of a dozen OF more
angels floating on the clouds. Above the
head OF each shone the symbolic halo. Those
halos bothered Dotty. She had never seen
such head dress and she was perplexed.
After a minute 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"
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
DoeY all angels wear them?"
Eyes, Dotty. All angels wear them and
they wear them all the time"
When they's in the house?"
yes. Dotty."
when they's asleep?"
yes"
81 guess they wears their halos all the
time. mamma, cause they're afraid if they
took 'em off and hung 'em on the hat rack
they'd get broke, don't they?'-Detroit Free

TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FINE
For Wearing q Calico Dress and 500
Penalty for Selling
the Goods.

1t is a singular fact, but none the less
true, that in England in the year 1700women
were not allowed to wear calico dresses at
all, and in l72l a penalty or fine of Is was
laid upon the wearer, and the unfortunate
dealer who sold calico in those days had to
pay a penalty of 500 for the offense. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that no one OF
them ever undertook to sell more than one
dress pattern. The women of this country
may bless their lucky stars that nothing
has ever interfered with their privilege to
buy and wear calico to their hearts con
tent. Moreover, they can be thankful that
they are able to purchase the best quality
the world produces right here at home. The
goods of enc firm are especially sought after
by both consumers and dealers and their
recognized superiority is assured when the
name William Simpson 4 Sons is found on
the ticket. AT least that is what the ladies and
the storekeepers say, and they ought to know.
