HEART BALM.
Washington Post: Apparently the
cheerful maxims of Mr. Mark Tapley
representing the distillation of life's
verjuice into u pleasing and frothy
beverage, are not being followed by
the constantly increasing host of fair
ones, which attaches to a broken word
a valuation far In cxccsb of what might
ordiuurily be expected to belong either
to the language Itself or the entire
personality of the one who gave it
utterance.
Far from endeavoring to extract
omfort from misfortune, these deso
lated creatures appear bent on the
acquisition of far more satisfying
emoluments. The fond terms of en-
dearment, the promise of future hap-
piness through wedlock, take on in the
light of after events a pecuniary worth
In prospect, that makes of Klondike
discoveries or frenzied finance the
least striking of events in the field of
ommercial exploitation. "How to be
happy, though married," sinks into in-
significance when compared with the
more urgent pursuit of the kindred
proposition of "How to get even,
though single."
No one still equal to bandying the
high words of chivalry and manhood
can regard these firm attempts at
recompense, so widely and favorably
recognized under the succinct expres-
sion of "heart balm," in other than the
light of ungrudging approval. How-
ever far may extend the ramifications
of equal rights, certain privileges of
the other sex must remain untouched
and unmodified. When a girl says no
she may mean yes; this is a sex pre-
rogative based on inherent sex tend-
ncies; and more or less expected by
the ardent suitor, seeing that his sense
of mastery is the further hlghtened
through the stubborn siege, followed
by the final capitulation, with all the
honors of war and love. But when a
man says yes, there's nothing more
to it—unless he fails to stand by the
inexorable decree.
But when a woman asks $5,000 or
$500,000—the quotations are ragged
antl subject to strange sags and re-
bounds—one may well ask what man
In the worltl was ever worth so much.
With horses or mules in war time, or
even men themselves as soldiers, a
horizontal cut in the valuation might
approach the right figure. However,
the dear creatures evidently do not
know this. And where ignorance is

THE WORK OF
PATRIOTIC ORDERS
The annual congress of the Daught-
ers of the American Revolution In
session at Washington the past week,
always attracts a great deal of in-
terest. A member of this order once
remarked, that when these delegates
get down to Washington, "they fight
like cats." This perhaps accounts in
part for the large amount of news-
paper space given to these meetings.
Whether or not this was a fa'r
criticism, warm rivalries and even
acerbity of controversy reveal that
an organization ha internal energy
and contains forces capable of good.
In the earlier history of some pat-
riotic orders, it sometimes seemed
as if the members got together to
celebrate the glories of their own
blood and lineage quite as much as
to perform any patriotic service.
Some people are so conscious of tho
superiority of their ancestry that
they feel no need of making any ef-
forts on their own part.
Yet there is real work for these
orders to do. The tlays of '761 are
nearly a century and a half ago. It

Teachers should be thorough stud-

familiar with the lives of the great
Revolutionary patriots, and make
these Itves vivid to their pupils by
narrative and anecdote.

Fathers were pioneers In a new
field. Other peoples had previously
reated republics. They were repub-

The constitution makers of our na-
tion were as much pioneers as the
hardy man who went out into the
alrles and felled forests and fought
Indians. The Daughters of the Am-
erican Revolution and other similar
societies need never fear that too
much will be said about the genius
of the men who did this pioneering
