can Revolution, for instance, in that it is more liberal in its eligibility clause. On this point the president general says:
 These two societies are essentially diff ferent in scope Both are patriotic, both aim to venerate important events and heroes, but the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution confine their efforts to the heroes of the revolution and to gen eral history, while the Daughters of American Pioneers not only expect to es- tablish museums but to inspire the study of local history
 '"To be eligible in the Daughters of the American Revolution a descendant must be able to trace and prove from public records descent from an officer who served in the war of independence That so limits the organization that deserving persons who have only family tradition and cannot claim by proof lineal descent from sires of 1776 cannot be accepted. No patriotic organization of women, it may be safely said, takes the field that the Daughters of American Pioneers does, for upon the statement of the applicant that she can trace back three generations to e1 noithy piOHSeI, anu tHt pTeStnld- tion of the name of one sponsor, she may be taken into membership. So in their aim these two organizations do not con- fict."
 The insgna of'the Daughters of Ameri- can Pioneers is interesting.
 The seal shows pioneer log cabin sur rounded by forest trees. Then come two notices, Pioneer Valor" and Ancestral Virtues with the thirteen stars radiat- ing above. On the outer rim are the words The National Society of the Daughters of American Pioneers, 1799- 1S99."
 The badge of the society is of gold, with red white and blue enamel. In the cen ter is the log cabin with the pioneers rifle and woodman's ax crossed under heath. The outer circle bears the name, Daughters of American Pioneers" The ribbon worn with a badge on ceremonial occasions is corn-colored.
 So by their badge ye may know them these peace-loving Daughters of Ameri- can Pioneers who are not eternally mix ing their patriotism with parliamentary points.

His Twenty1Sixth Sweetheart.

If you knew his name. you would not believe 1t of him, for he is not at all blase, adores women, and holds to the old theory that marriage de convenience is nothing short of a crime. He is really very much of an Ella Wheeler Wilcox man, and writes little verses that minght be called poems of passion. They some times get into print and everybody won ders who wrote them. Surely not a man who has loved twenty-six women but one who has loved but once. This goes to show that one does not always tell all that one knows. simple leaflet from ones life is not the entire tragedy Little heart to heart poems are, after all, but fragments
 One never knows. There are the Re factions of a Bachelor;" an ex-bachelor 1t should be, for the reflections are those of a Benedict. So with tnis other bache- Tor who writes of the one and only '.grande passion"
 In reminiscent mood brought on by two other friends discussing this one theme of which we all know something or have at least read something of it, he began like this:
 "The twentysixth is to be married next month"
 No one said a word for a moment and he then began taking himself seriously
 "It is a fact he went on, slowly bight- ing his cigar, 'the twenty-sixth woman whom I have loved is to be married the coming month."
 ITO you. I presume" said the other man indifferently.
 Never" answered the other.

But why may I not admit 1t, here to you two-we three-there can be no harm, no disrespect to either one of the twenty-six twenty-five of whom are already married"
 "There was not a single one of them in my long and varied experience that I did not love. devotedly, and their mar riages were all more or less shocks to me. Each marriage meant of course an other love affair for me It's duration, I will not say it's intensity, depended upon the time of her marriage.

BEAR MEAT IN N. Y. MARKET.

From the New York Sun.
 Half a dozen small black bears seen outside of the establishment downtown of a wholesale dealer in poultry and game seemed like quite bunch, but the dealer said that he had received in the course of the past four months eighty-one black bears, ranging in weight from little fel- lows of twenty pounds each up to good sized bears weighing 200 pounds This however, was more bears than he had ever received before in a single season, but there was a market for them all.
 The bears sold here go mostly to res- taurants and hotels. They help to give variety to the bill of fare. Bear meat sells here for about 25 cents a pound. The bears come mostly from Chicago, which is a great assembling point of game from re- gions further west.
