Mistaken Claims

An incident which actuslly cccuIrsd il
a town 10 an Eastern state has q signif
cant meaning for every educated Amer
can.
A well known German scholar visiting
this country was invited to small recep
tion which Was given in this town. Only
the most pro n nent oil the towns people
were present.

and women present wore peculiar little
badges or pins; sone male OF plain enam

He questioned his hostess.
They are orders, and OF American OH,
gin.
Yes, was the reply. The tokens that
their wearers belong to the true American
aii,tocrscy. They are Colonial danes,
Sons OF daughters OF the Revolution.
The stranger inquired into the requisi,
tes for membership, and was told that the
wearers could boast OF at least one ancesl
tor who had served the ripublic 10 the
Revolutionary War. or as a civil ofiiser in
colonial days.
And the weirer OF the badger he cootin

They also doubtless serve the state

Politics is considered by them an un.

they are proai that their grandfsthers did

The implied rebuke of the German
shows that he felt that something else
was needed to eutitls the wearers Of the
