Ida shafult, Of Muscatine, Iowa, is
described as a sweet-voiced girl, pref
ty, Intelligent reasonably well edu-
Gated and in every way charming.
NOW, any man ought to consider him
self favorite of fortune who gets
girl like that for wife, and no doubt
James l.. Giesler, who has married
Miss Shafult, takes this view and is
grateful as well as happy. But be-
cause Mr.. Giesler Is banker n rich
man, and Miss Shafult worked in a
telephone office, the news Of their we'd
ding Is telegraphed as though soma
thing wonderful had happened-as If a
King had raised a peasant maid TO a
seat beside him on the throne. That is
the aristocratic way Of looking at
things, the way usual in countries
where they have hereditary rank, and
ordinary people are regarded as a low
er order OF human beings, not only NV
those above them in the social scale
Dut by themselves. We have far foo
much Of this slavishness in our own
hepuohc. Yet no matter how preva-
tent II may be, 1t Is altogether out of
pace mere. 1t Is un-American because
1t Is undemocratic. To every one who
Is not snob at heart 1t is nauseous
Ihere are just two kinds of aristocracv
in this World-the aristocracy of brains

of birth and money, which
is bogus. No one, whether he he q

also a decent man, Is good enough to
De the husband of any pure girl Of
good brains, good education and good
manners. The circumstance that
girl Is pure and earns her own liva,i-
MOOD honorably gives her an added
claim upon the respect and admiration
OF every man that has sense enough to |
between the substantial
and the superficial. Money is a good |
thing to have, and only fools and very
young people despise it, but money is
not everything. The man who seeks

Cardinal Gibbons Received by Pope
Plus. X.

Rome. Aug. S-Cardinal Gibbons
was received by the pope during the
day in private audience. In lengthy
converse Plus X renewed his express
sions of interest In America, already
made manifest by his reception last
Wednesday to the pilgrims from the
United States The pope said he
should like to have had the cardinal
remain in Rome for some time in order
that he might become thoroughly ac-
quainted with all questions connected
with the United States, but his holi-
ness did not insist, being aware, he
said, of the cardinals delicate state OF
health and his suffering from hot
weather. In closing the audience the
pontiff charged Cardinal Gibbons to
carry the apostolic benediction to all
the faithful of America.
After his private audience Cardinal
Gibbons presented to the pope Rev.
Dennis r. O'Conneil, rector OF the
Catholic university at Washington,
and Father III. C. Gavan, the cardinals
secretary. The pope spoke most af-
fably to each and said to Rector
O'Connell that he knew the Importance
of the Catholic university at Washing

ther its interests and prestige.
