JOE WHEELER S MAIL.

Representative Gen. Joe Wheeler, of
Alabama, was recently struck in a
strange manner with his own mi
guilty, according to the latest story
about him. Gen. Wheeler sends gov
eminent publications and his own
speeches to nearly 10000 of his con-
stituents the largest list Of names in
the department.
The last time he was in Alabama
he overlook a little man on foot who
was grunting and perspiring under a
heavy mail sack.
'Neighbor," said the General. won't
you step in and ride with me?"
The invitation was accepted prompt
ly, and the two rode along for while,
when Gen Wheeler said:
Friend, why dent you have a
horse and wagon? A man OF your
years ought not to be Juggling heavy
mail sacks on his shoulders.

atty, etc, has fallen to the lot Of the
Daughters, and some criticism has
been aimed directly at them, based on
the belief that they were trying to
form an American aristocracy But
an aristocracy which goes back only
a hundred years is not very formid-
able or likely to create class distinc-
tions.
The condition for membership in
the organization is that an applicant
shall be descended from an ancestor
who, with unailing loyalty, rendered
material aid to the cause Of independ
ence as recognized patriot, as SOL
der or sailor or as civil officer in
one of the several colonies or States
or of the United Colonies or States"
The applicant of course must be ac-
ceptable personally to the society.
The only patriotic women's society
which antedates the Daughters is the
Society of the Colonial Danes of
America. That was organized in New
York in April, 1890, with the object
Of securing relics and preserving the
history and traditions of the heroes
of the war of the Revolution and the
fathers of the republic. The Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution was
organized in Washington, October IL,
1890. This was in the Harrison adj
ministration, and many of the women
whose husbands held prominent posi-
lions under the government interest
ed themselves in the society. Mrs.
Harrison was made president general.
and she held the position until her
death. After her Mrs John w. Foster
was president general for short time;
then Mrs. Adlai Il. Stevenson, wife of
the then Vice President of the United
States, was elected, and she has held
the Office ever since. Mrs. Stevenson
will call the society to order February
%, and preside over its meetings on
that and subsequent days.
The founders of the society were
Mrs. Mary s. Lockwood, Miss Eugenia
Washington, Miss Mary Desha and
Mrs. Ellen H. Walworth, of Washing
ton. The first suggestion came in a
published article from the pen of Mrs.
Lockwood. and the work of forming
the organization was done by the four
women named. Since the society was
formed several others Of a similar
character have sprung into existence,
among them the Daughters of the Rev
olution, the National Society Colonial
Danes Of America, the Danes of the

ment Of Great Britain, but remaining
always loyal to the authority of the
colonies or States"
Under these elaborate restrictions
the D. R. became more exclusive than
the D. A. r. and it's membership
spread to many States, but it never
d. A. r., which has now more than
10000 membership.
In spite Of its greater strength, the
D. a. Il. has always desired a coali-
ton of the two societies, chiefly on
account Of the confusion which has
arisen through the similarity of names.
IL rescinded long ago it's action maxi
ing collateral descendants eligible
for membership. and the two organiza-
lions are now substantially the same.
1t is the belief of most Of the members
Of both societies that coalition will
benefit both; but, though the matter
has been debated at length, no basis
Of agreement has been found. This
matter will be the chief subject Of
discussion at the coming meeting.
The congress viii meet at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning. It will be called

Stevenson. Prayer will be offered by
the chaplain general. Mrs. Charles A.
Stakeley. The entire congress will
sing The Star Spangled Banner" ac-
companied by the Marine Band. Then
Mrs. Stevenson VIII deliver an address
Of welcome. There will be addresses
delivered by representatives of the
Sons Of the American Revolution and
other patriotic societies, interspersed
with patriotic music by the Marine
hand. In the afternoon the National
Society of the Children Of the Ameri-
can Revolution will hold a celebration
Of Washington birthday.
The congress will hold three ses-
sions each day-at 10 a. M, p. IN. and
1880 \. m. Whether these will be pub
tic Will be determined by the congress.
There is disposition to exclude re-
pOrters, because the delegates prefer
not to air their disputes and discus
sions publicly.
The election may result in the choice
Of Mrs. Mckinley to be president

The seventh continental congress of
the Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton will be held in Washington on
Washingtons birthday, thus doubly
emphasizing the loyalty Of the women
who belong to the organization. The
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton always meet at Washington and
always on the 22d of February.
Representatives Of local societies in
forty-four States and Territories and
the District Of Columbia will attend
the meeting. In nearly every instance
these will be the regents who preside
over the subordinate organizations.

Revolution and the General Society Of
the United States Daughters Of 1872.
Of course the Daughters OF the Revolu-
ton is an offshoot from the Daughters
of the American Revolution, growing
out of a controversy over the qualifi-
cations for membership. At the outset
the Daughters of the American Reyo-
luton adopted a rule that only lienal
descendants of men who fought for
freedom in the Revolution should be
admitted, but when the question Of
Miss Eugenia Washington's member
ship arose it was agreed to suspend
the rule and admit this orc collateral
descendant of the greatest Revolution
airy hero. Immediately other candi-
dates for suspension of the rule pre-
scented themselves, and war OF the
'collaterals" and the 'lienals" was in
augurated.
For time collateral descendants
were admitted by the d. 4. r. AS a

Of Heller, the second-sight magician.
For she seemed to know by intuition
or instinct or something else what
was the price Of the meal he had con-
sumed and also just the amount of the
money in his hand when he approach
ed to pay. He first noticed that when
he presented a 35-cent check she i'm
mediately laid upon the rubber mat a
dime and a nickel which she had been
bolding for change.
How" this man inquired Of him
self, did she know that Is cents
would be the correct change? There
was no earthly way for her to tell
what money l was going to offer her,
either How did she come to have the
exact change ready without a seconds
delay or without having to go to the
cash register for it," He could not
answer to his own satisfaction.
The next day he bought a As cent
meal and she promptly laid nickel
before him, the scent piece being the
only one she held in her hand. 1t
was the correct amount, as he save
her a half dollar. He experimental
several times afterward and at last
appealed TO her for information.
Why" she said, didn't you ever
notice the tint of your check? When

you have eaten 20 cents worth. If
