The Daughters of the American Rev olution must look out for themselves. They nre getting a reputation which may make them unpopular and scatter their younger daughters. An Evening Staats-Zeitung man speaks of their somewhat tempestuous congress last month with sadness. What good Ger man would take to wife a woman who hisses in public meeting when she is displeased and "says things" just as a iiiaii might do when she is displeased? "Who speaks now of the weaker sex?" says the Staats man. "Weak she is not when she lias the courage to put oil her womanliness and put on the armor of a man. Cupid, when he sees this, will gather up his arrows quickly, jump into his automobile and speed quickly away." The daughters really must look to their matrimonial chances. —New York Times.
