G&Z<ZA@S The question is, is the young fell
low simply young fool afflicted with a puppy love
or is he doing noble thingi
The probability is that he is acting the fool.
The girl with whom he is so much in love that he
is ready to throw away the prospect OF an emperor
ship 10 order to marry her, may be sensible young
woman; in fact, she gives good deal of indication
OF good sense when she refuses to agree to any left
handed marriage business and insists that she mnst
be the real thing the stuff will be off, The family
record, however, Of Miss Deacon is such that it
would make plain, common citizen OF this republic
bit leary OF entering into any alliance with her.
Her father shot Frenchman and served year
or two in French prison because he suspected the
Frenchman of making love to his wife, the mother
Of the girl who has captured the heart Of the
prince Of Germany.
We are not prepared to say whether or not the
elder Deacon had any cause for jealousy or not. If
he did, then if we were in the place Of the crown
prince we would be fearful the daughter might in
herit the prOmiscuOnsly affectOnate disposition Of
her mother; If on the other hand, the old man Dea
con had no cause for his jealous rage then would
be afraid the daughter might inherit his disposition
and some day acting on the impulse OF the moment
shoot hole through as. No doubt the young prince
feels Just now that he can never live without that
girl and at bis age the emperor business doesn't
count for much anyway, but suppose he gives up
his chances for throne and is turned out to shift

years from now when his back commences to get
bumped and his.wife either gets wrinkied and skin
ny or else fat and wears double chin and p0Hs
when she walks.
But when you come to think about it isn't this
whole royalty business a miserable fraudl Why
shouldn't the son Of king be permitted TO 60 out
and marry nice, bright, healthy girl, no matter
whether she is OF royal blood or mott
Why shouldn't the crown prince be permitted-tO
marry an intelligent, bright.faced American girl 7
Talk about royalty: why she is princess in lot
10 gger and better government than any dinky old
kingdom of Europe. Instead Of it being a lowering
of dignity for the heir to throne to marry an Amer
ican GIRL it ought to be considered that she is COM
ming down few nOtches when she consents to wed
the scion Of a royal house.
The royalty Of Europe has become scrOlulOus and
physically degenerate account OF the fact that the
heir to a throne is only allowed to marry into some
other regal family. This has gone on until all Of
the royal houses ara related by blood Queen Vic
tOria before her death, was grandmother to about
twO-thrds of the rulers Of Europe.
How long the people Of Europe will consent to al
low this gang OF royal nibs to sit on thrones we do
not know. The force Of habit s wonderfully strong
In spite OF the fact that some OF the rulers are ravng
maniacs, others feeble minded degenerates and 9TH
ers diseased debauchees the people still cling to the
forms Of royalty. SIS EW *
