General Reyes said the interruption in his
journey was the result Of orders to remain
in Havana, which he received from the
secretary of war He said he did not
know how long he would remain here. He
thought it was improbable that the govern
ment would send a cruiser to Havana to
transport him to Vera Cruz.
General Reyes is reported to have told
the captain OF the steamer Ypieciga while
he was attending to the landing OF his
personal effects last night that the news
from Mexico convinced him that II would
be Unsafe TO attempt to reach the City OF
Mexico at this time.

Preparing for Marriage
BY DOROTHY DIX .

Neither can any mans love long sur
vive his wifes wastefulness. This IS not
because he Is stingy, but because IL is so
heart-breskingly discouraging for him to
know that the results of his hard labor,
his very life blood are being thrown
away by his wife by her mismanage-
ment. II must make man fairly hate a
woman when he sees his chances OF ever
getting on In the world being cast into
the garbage can and pllfered by thieving
servants.
OF course. the blame for this state Of
affairs rests with the mothers, who hope
that their daughters will marry, but do
nothing to fit them to make marriage
success. This is one OF the crimes OF So
ciety. A woman should think It Just as
much disgrace to raise up a girl who Is
not fitted to be a good wife as a man
feels IT. disgrace II his son marries
without being able to support his wife.
And II the mothers won't do their duty
in this respect then the state should step
In and protect the poor, defenceless young
men, and no girl should be granted a
license to experiment on an innocent and
inoffenslve mans digestion. Make her
prove before she marries that she is a
good, freehand cook, and knows how to
market, and you will usher in q domestic
millennium. For happiness and good
temper and good health and all the vir-
tues, depend upon the state of the liver
md that's in the keeping of the house
keeper.
It's a mighty responsibility a woman
assumes when she takes charge OF a
mans stomach, as we'll as his heart. and
IT'S only fair and reasonable that she
should be able to show her union card
before she qualities for the Job.
