the beginning of most violent crime

parallel with the spread of strong

corruption; the waste of wages, the
ruin of families, all have their home
and origin in the saloon. Civilization
will not be a success until the saloon
is bat a memory of what men once

ance is being followed with more de
termination than ever in the history
of our country. In more territory is
the saloon made illegal, and in a
greater part of this territory is public

prohibition a success. When it is a

a little unkindly recalls the experi

that depositors are not always to be
trusted. After the earthquake, ac
cording to the story, the German Na
tional bank, which had lost all Its
books, asked its customers to state
the amounts they had on deposit The
officers knew precisely the amount
they had lost in the aggregate, but did
not have a record of the individual ac
coaats. The sums specified by the
depositors exceeded the known depos
its of the bank by more than $75,000.
This showed that customers were tak
iag advantage of the situation, but
rather than question their honesty the
bank charged the amount to profit and
loss and paid all demands in full.

(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.),
(Mrs. Donald McLean's name Is known
very widely not only as that of the head
of the New York city chapter ot the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
but as that of a writer and speaker of
ability on topics of especial interest to
women. Mrs. McLean, is a prominent
member of a number of organizations of
a social and patriotic character.)
The centennial celebration of 1S76
gave an impetus to patriotic impulse.
as directed toward organization which
had lain dormant' in a large measure
since the years immediately succeed
ing the war of the revolution.
As all the world knows, the Order
of the Cincinnati was formed imme
diately upon the cessation of that war
and just before the disbanding of the
continental army. It"-was composed
of the officers who served through the
struggle, Washington being the presi
dent of the society. 'It is the only or
ganization in -this country promoting
the rights of primogeniture, and it is
said that Washington hesitated ere
granting his approval to such an or
ganization or becoming its president
because of the fear that an aristo
cratic sentiment would be unduly fos
tered in a democratic country.
However, Washington did consent
to take the office, and the organization
exists to this day, commanding the
respect of all men and not conflicting
with the best American spirit Mem
bership in this society descends from
the eldest son to the eldest son (wom
en are barred), and the insignia, which
is a golden eagle, cut clear, descends
with the' membership. In lieu of di
rect descendants the title and insignia
pass to the eldest son of the nearest
branch of the family. The portraits
and miniatures of many of the revolu
tionary officers display this badge' of
the Order, of the Cincinnati as their
proudest decoration.
This, or course, was 'the father, so
to speak, of all patriotic organizations.
It is not perhaps, widely known that
a society was formed directly after
the formation of the Cincinnati pur
porting to represent the very, prin
ciples of which Washington was such
a warm supporter that is, the demo
cratic as opposed to the aristocratic
spirit in the country. This second
society was known as the "Veteran
Corps of .Artillery." It too. was com
posed largely of officers of the revo
lution and men who had made good
records in that struggle.
It never grew to such proportions
or prominence as the Order of the
Cincinnati, though always highly re
garded by those who understood it It
now lives in combination with the
society formed of the descendants of
the heroes of 1812, -the, title being
the Veteran Corps of Artillery and
War of 1813. Therefore, this dual
named organization has a membership
.composed of men descended from an
cestors who fought in the two wars
of 1776 and 1812. In a few instances
the same ancestors fought ia both.
This was possible if the patriot en
gaged in the revolutionary war In ex-
i treme youth and lived to hardy man
hood to fight in 1812.
With the .exception. , however, of
these two societies, formed In the.
early period of the country's history,
all desire for such patriotic orsaniza
tioas seemed to die, until, as has. been
said, the celebration -of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the Declaration
of Independence animated the seed of
patriotic growth which has, since tow
ered at this end of the new century
into lull and luxuriant bloom. Within
the last few years weU-nigh a count
less number ot organisations, bearing
titles significant of historic assocta
ttoa, have sprang into being.
Of these The Sons" aad,HDaask
ters of the American Revolution" are
the most prominent and numerous in
v
membershipT In connecting 'the title
"Sons and Daughters" the writer does
that which theSons" themselves de
clined to. do, the latter thus exhibiting
a' lack of that "seeing vision" which
Du Maurier. proclaims a priceless gift
In other words, the "Sons" did not
foresee that a declination to receive
the feminine descendants of revolu
tionary sires would deprive the society
Sons of the 'American Revolution "of
an able, ardent and achieving element
Therefore it came about that; the so
ciety Sons of the American Revolu-
Uion, organized In 1889, exists as one
organization and the Daughters of the
American Revolution as another.
With the true, clinging nature of
women's hearts, the feminine descend
ants of the revolutionary patriots ap
pealed to the Sons of the American
Revolution to be taken within the
protecting fold of the masculine so
ciety! .The latter, however, displayed
no embracive inclination and threw
the women back upon their own pride
and their own resources.
The result was that in October, 1890,
there was organized the national so
ciety of the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution. The growth and
activity of the latter body .would seem
almost incomprehensible were it not
to be remembered that the spirits of
the men who "made and preserved us
a nation" inspire the souls of their de
scendants; and woman's enthusiasm,
when awakened, outstrips all other
and reaches, on flying feet, the goal
of high endeavor. The Sons of the
American Revolution number several
thousand probably under 10,000. The
Daughters of-the American Revolu
tion over 30,000.
These revolutionary daughters, hav
ing made clear to erring man his mis
take in refusing their gentle compan
ionship, now entertain the most ami
able feeling toward their brother so
ciety., The latter apparently recipro
cates, and the two Organizations be
ing in perfect harmony, although un
der separate governments, have be
come t a leaven of patriotism for the
entire country. They are represented
in every state, city and hamlet All
institutions of learning know them,
from the public schools to the univer
sities. .All rostrums have welcomed
them, from the old-time town meeting
to the great assemblages in fashion
able halls. Historic spots no longer
He neglected, but are crowned with
lasting granite and Immutable bronze.
The heroes who spilled their blood
upon the soil, then consecrated by that
red libation, no longer sleep In un
known or forgotten graves. "Their
children rise up and call them bless
ed," and their country is rejuvenated
by the proud memories of their mar
velous prowess;
Eligibility in either of the above
mentioned organizations rests upon
lineal descent, from one who 'served
his or her country during the revolu
tion, whether in the army or -on the
high seas or In giving "material aid"
to the Infant 5 government Descent
from an officer does not necessarily
figure in either society. Descent from
a private, unknown save by his name
and a record of unflinching service
to his country, entitles- one to the
same regard as though descended from
captain, colonel or brigadier general.
Thus a truly American spirit is con
served. Besides the Sons of the American
Revolution and the Daughters ot the
American Revolution, there is a so
ciety of the Sons of the Revolution
and one of the Daughters of the Revo
lution. The former claim to have been
formed prior to the Sons of the Amer
ican Revolution. It is n mooted ques
tion. It is n fact however, that the
Daughters of the Revolution are an
offshoot from the parent society, 'the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion. In addition to the societies already
named there exist a multitude of or
ganizations of a patriotic nature, each
having as an Incentive the same loyal
purposes toward its native land.
Those best known are the masculine
society Founders and Patriots and
a feminine society of the same name.
To be eligible to membership in either
of these one must be descended from
ancestors who assisted in founding the
country during its colonial period and
were Indubitably loyal to our own gov
ernment during the revolution.
The two well-known organizations
of colonial damer-one the Colonial
Dames of America, the other the Na
tional Society of Colonial
differ from the organizations just
tioned in that eligibility to member

THE WAY OF LOVE.

Once upon a time there was a man
who fell in love with a, woman.
And they were marrfeoV
i After a while. tlie-m came in and
the man sat around .and'thought about
them. Then he went to his wife and
said: "Dearie, can't you go a little
slowr -
And his wife replied: .'Alas! I
never' learned bow. I fear 'that I am,
naturally 'extravagant I don't mean
tobe,tbut I. am.-Tell v me that you
lave me." -.
"i love yon," replied the man.
After a while the stcrk paid a friend
ly, visit 'When the 'excitement was
overhand, things quieted down, the
man took note of certain things that
were happening. -The servants wouldn't
stay. The baby was either overfed
or underfed. The spirit of Harmony
had. slipped put And the man sat
around, and thought about it some
more. Then he went to his wife and
said: ' "Dearie; -there' something
wrong with our domestic economy.
Things ought to be different The
house isn't run' right Things are not
done calmly or systematically. Can't
you"
His wife shook her head.
"I don't-know how," she replied. "I
never had much order. I can't help it,
but do you love me?"
"I love you more and more," replied
the man.
And' after another while the woman
grew to be an invalid. She refused to
take care of- herself, and became mo
rose, irritable and incapable of doing
much of anything.
And one day, as the man sat and
thought she came to him and said:
"Dearest I have been a failure. I'm
thoroughly incompetent I haven't
done what I should have done. I
have been lamentably weak. Aren't
you, honestly now, sorry that you
married me?"
"No," said the man.
"But I am a failure. Ton ought to
be sorry. Why aren't you sorry?"
And the man smiled as he replied:
"Because, sweetheart, if I hadn't mar
ried 'you I never could have loved you
as much as I do now." The Reader.
. Source of His Supply.
Mrs." Donald McLean, who has been
re-elected president of the Daughters,
of the American Revolution, said of
ancestry, at a dinner in New York: "I
think .we would all, if we had our
choice, prefer to be well born. Good
children are more apt to come from
good than from bad parents. Then,
besides, good birth is a recommenda
tion. In everything we consider the
source. It is like the story of the
school teacher. There was a teacher,
teaching in a very poor neighborhood,
who received daily gifts of flowers
from one cf her pupils, a ragged little
boy. The flowers were of all sorts,
sometimes costly hothouse blooms,
sometimes simple, old-fashioned garr
den flowers. As a rule, they were
somewhat faded. One day the boy
brought the teacher a great bouquet
of mauve orchids. To be sure they
were much wilted, but none the less It
could be seen that they had once cost
a great deal of money. The puzzled
teacher, as she took them, said: 'Jim
my, where do you get all these flowers
that you" give me? You don't steal
them, I hope.' 'Oh, no, ma'am, the
youngster answered, 'father's an ash
man."
Revolution in China.
It is reported that the revolutionary
movement in China is gaining strength
and that secret organizations are in
creasing in number, especially in the
Yangtse valley. Chinese officials 'say
that thousands of revolutionists are
concealed in the foreign quarters of
the cities, thus placing themselves out
side the jurisdiction of the Chinese
courts. The revolutionary agitation re
cently was carried into the army. Mur

dition of vemUlkm, or of the. scarlet
need in carriage painting, to cream
white. This means that a small amount
of -yellow ochre is first added to the
white paint and thoroughly incorpor
ated' with it before the vermilion or
scarlet is added. The. woodwork of the
room should be painted cream white.
and the walls have three coats of pink
the first two considerably darker
than the last as the last -is lighter, it
gives a misty effect which is very
soft and satisfying. After the last coat
is well dried a border of cream white
should be stenciled at the top of the
wall next the ceiling. It may be wide
or narrow, as one prefers; but if wide,
the lower 'part of it for a third of the
width, should be faintly or thinly
painted, in order to have it blend
properly into the wait It is necessary
only to use a full brush at the top
and a comparatively empty one at
tne bottom or the stencil to secure
:thls effect, and even an unintelligent
.workman can do it -if the object is
explained to him.
' If a narrow border is used, what is
called a "floating design" may be
added to the wall; and this also should
be varied by the use of more or less
paint In the brash, so that some of the
floating forms should look like the
mere reflection of the others. The
furniture of this room would-be prefer
ably of cream-white enamel to match
the wood-work, but n bedroom set in
natural wood could be used if more
convenient The curtains should be of
pink chambray or pink denim under
white muslin, and it will add to the
beauty of the room if the counterpane

carpet harmonizes exceedingly well
with this scheme of color and gives
what one nay call a pastel effect to
the room.

Meat Relish.
Chop one peck of ripe tomatoes and
put. them into a colander to drain.
Chop two cups of celery small, add six
onions,. chopped, six ripe peppers, also
chopped; one-half cup of light brown
sugar, an ounce of ground cinnamon,
and two quarts of cider vinegar. Mix
all together and put into stone or
glass jarsvaad'eover with a doth.- The
relish will be ready for use in a few
days. It must not be cooked or sealed
or it will spoil.
Dampening Clothes.
Use hot water to dampen the clothes
that are to. be. ironed and you will find
it a great deal more satisfactory than
cold. It dampens the clothes more
evenly and makes them easier to iron.
If the water is too hot to put the
hands in use a whisk broom to sprinkle
it with. Many laundresses prefer the
whisk broom, as they claim- that It is
less likely to make the clothes too
wet. The clothes may be ironed two
hours later with good results.
Rubber for the Umbrella Jar.
Cut a piece of your old rubber mat,
and place it in' the bottom of the um

steam laundry can; it will have the
proper stiffness and finish, there will
be less wear-and tear of the goods,
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to the
iron.

lend there would be more life-long
