THE WAY OF LOVE.
And Nothing Mattered So Long as
They Were United.

Once upon time there was a man
who fell in love with woman.
And they were married.
After while the bills 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
Slow"
And his wife replied: alas! l
never learned how. l fear that / am
naturally extravagant. l don't mean
to be, but l am. Tell me that you
love me-"
Il love you," replied the man.
After while the stork paid friend
ly visit. When the excitement was
over and things quieted down, the
man took note IF certain things that
were happening. The servants wouldn't
stay. The baby was either overfed
or underfed. The spirit of Harmony
had slipped out And the man sat
around and thought about it some
more. Then he went to his wife and
said: "Dearie, there's 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.
II don't know how" she replied. II
never had much order. l can't help it,
but-do you love me?"
II 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, have been a failure. I'm
thoroughly incompetent. 1 haven't
done what / should have done. l
have been lamentably weak. Aren't
you, honestly now, sorry that you
married me?"
NO." said the man.
But / am a failure. You ought to
be sorry. Why aren't you sorry?"
And the man smiled as he replied:
Because, sweetheart If hadn't mar
ried you l never could have loved you
as much as / do now."-The Reader.

of the New York city chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
but as that of writer and speaker of
ability on topics of especial interest to
women. Mrs. Mclean is prominent
member of a number of organizations of
a social and patriotic character)
The centennial celebration of 1876
gave an impetus to patriotic impulse
as directed toward organization which
had lain dormant in 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-
diaSesy upon the cessation of that war
and just before the disbanding of the
continental army. 1t was composed
of the officers who served through the
struggle, Washington being the presi-
dent of the society. 1t 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 it's 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 d.
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, of 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-
C1DlpS VI WHlCu was ouCh
a warm supporter-that is, the demo
CRATIC as opposed to the aristocratic
spiriGin the country. This second
society was known as the Veteran
Corps of Artillery" 1t, too, was COM
posed largely of officers of the revo-
luton 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-
sarded by those who understood 1t. 1t
now lives in combination with the
society formed OF the descendants of
the heroes of 1912, the title being
the Veteran Corps Of Artillery and
War of 1912. Therefore. this dual
named organization has a membership
,,omposed of men descended from an

In addition TO the societies already
named there exist a multitude of or
CARNATIONS of 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 it's colonial period and
were individually loyal to our own gov
eminent during the revolution.
The two well-known organizations
of colonial dames-one the Colonial
Danes of America, the other the Ma
tional Society Of Colonial Danes
differ from the organizations just men
toned in that eligibility to member
ship consists in a descent from one
who was prominent in the colonial
period, but who was not of necessity,
though it is presumed preferably, a
patriot during the revolution.
A society closely akin to this, whose
membership consists entirely OK men,
is known as the Society of Colonial
Wars. Eligibility consists in descent
from one who served in the wars
during the colonial period of the
country, such as the French and In.
dian war.
The United States Daughters of
1872 is society founded upon descent
from ancestors, prominent in the
country from 1888 and from those who
served in the war of 1912.
This brief account of the birth and
growth Of patriotic societies barely
touches upon their excellent achieve
ment; but this is mapifestly true:

developed by such organizations, is

REPORTS from the Department of
Agriculture bring out the fact that
the total of the leading grain crops of
the country falls but IS, 900, 900 bushels
below the stupendous lead of last year,
when the corn crop went into first
place in the history of this or any
other country, and oats followed close
to the high record. Investigation dis
closes the fact that the unfayorable
oat crop conditions which month OF
so ago were thought to be important
are confined TO comparatively limited
areas of the leading productive states.
The oat crop this year will be pretty
nearly as big as the one last year.

point is we'll taken. The entertain

accommodations, was taken to the Ly-

was changed and the price was fixed at
