WHAT IS AN ARISTOCRAT9

Not so very long ago our at
tention was directed to an arti-
Gle which appeared in a journal
of prominence, dealing with the
matter of American aristocracy.
The writer of the article in
question seemed most ardently
to desire the advent of blooded
aristocracy in America.
1t was set forth that nearly all
of us had blue blood in our veins
and some might boast of royalty.
The writer laid bare an awful
ache for a "coat of arms" and a
lot of other fads that stamp him
as anything but true Amer
lean. 1t is just such nabobs and
nincompoops who desire to de-
stroy American traditions and
institutions.
Let no person worry lest the
line of distinction between the
self-styled aristocrat and the
plebeian be not drawn in the
United States. The marking of
that line is approaching rapidly,
despite the efforts of our really
better class. The foremost thing
in the minds Of the majority of
the American people is money" :"
A man is rated by his bank ac-
count, not for any mental achieve
ment or gentlemanly qualities.
This fact will hasten the forma-
tion of a class line.
So far as blue blood is con-
cerned it may not be wise for the
majority to look into the records
of their ancestors too closely;
even though morally certain that
such records would stand scru-
tiny. The chances are that at
some time a scion of every noble
family has been hanged or be-
headed, or at least deserved to
be, for they were but mortal.
Hero worship is beyond us and
we have no patience with the
numerous abominable cads who
show enough of the monkey to
ape something simply because it
is silly and freakish.
Far better would it be if, in
stead of striving for the estab-
lishment Of classes in this coun-
try, we could produce serious
minded men and women, capable
of doing something to make the
world better. What is an aris-
tocrat, anyway? Nine times out
of ten what passes for an aristo-
crat is a weak-minded creature
who inherited more wealth than
he was capable of handling.

A noiseless procession Of dim forms
rushed after the carcass. The birds,
shrill with disappointment, darted off
to scour the neighboring sea.
Beyond the damaged boat, humping
against the rock, and the huge jaws
with their rows of wedge shaped teeth,
naught remained to testify to the
drama of the hour save the helpless
baby on which the head keeper was
waiting so sedulously.
Already the signal doctor wanted"
was 1uttering from the lighthouse flag
staff. 1t would be noted at the Lands
End and telegraphed to Penzance.
The morning would be well advanced
before help could reach the Gulf Rock
from ashore.
When Brand and Spence entered
Jones' bedroom they found him hard
at work washing the childs clothing.
''She's asleep" he said, jerking his
head toward a bunk. Il gev' her a
pint of mixture She cried a bit when
there was no more to be had. but
warm bath with some boric acid in it
made her sleepy. An there she is,
snug as cat" .-.
The Gomesticated Jones was up to
his elbows in lather of soap.
'Have you noticed any laundry
marks or initials on her clothing?"
asked Brand
Eyes. Here you are
He fished out of the bubbles a little
vest, on which were worked the letters
E. T. in white silk.
"Ah! That is very important. We
can establish her identity, especially If
the laundry mark is there ALSO"
'I'm feared there's nothing else,"
said Jones. i've not looked very care
fully, as it'll take me all my time to
get everything dry afore the tug comes.
AS for ironin', it can't be done. But
my missus IL see after her until some
body turns up to claim her"
''That may be never"
'Surely we will get some news of the
ship which was lostr'
Eyes, that is little enough to expect
Yet it is more than probable that her
parents are dead. A baby would be
separated from her mother only by the
mothers death. There is a very real
chance that poor e. t. will be left for
years ON the hands Of those who take
charge of her now. The only alterna
tive is the workhouse"
'That's so, cap'n," put in Jim. "You
always dig to the heart of a subjec',
even if it's a shark
"In a word, Jones, you can hardly be
asked to assume such a responsibility.
Now, it happens that I can afford to
adopt the child if she lives and is not
claimed by relatives. It is almost a
duty imposed on me by events. When
the doctor comes, therefore, I purpose
asking him to see that she is handed
over to Mrs. Sheppard, the nurse who
looks after my own little girl. I will
write to her. My turn ashore comes
next week. Then 1 can devote some
time to the necessary inquiries"
Jones made no protest. He knew
that Brands suggestion was a good
one, and he promised silence with re-
gard to the fight with the shark. Men
in the lighthouse service are quick to
grasp the motives which cause others
to avoid publicity. They live sedate,
lonely lives. The noise, the rush, the
purposeless activities Of existence
ashore weary them. They have been
known to petition the Trinity Brethren
to send them back to isolated stations
when promoted to localities where the
pleasures and excitements Of town
were available

Hayden, Stone & Co.,, in their week ly letter say: Floods have started again in the Clifton district, but this time due to an unusual cause. namely bursting of the reservoir of the De troit Copper Compal,.. waich caused a stream with a 7-foot breast to sweer 7"-"- Chase Creek 70 the north end of Clifton.
 While owing to the interruption of wires full reports of the damage done have not been obtained, two things are absolutely sure. First, the Shannon mines. which are on a mountains are not affected. and, second, the Shan mons plant, which is on hill, is no; affected. The only possible damage that could be done, outside of a little damage to one of their stores in the village, is that the destruction to the Coronado railroad will prevent the shipment of ore from the mine 10 the shelter for few days, until the tracks are repaired and replaced This while annoying, should not be suffi ciently serious to materially affecI the value ot the stock.
 The production for the month of No vember was 100000 pounds, and while the December production may be cut down somewhat from this, ir general the production should run ma terially higher than it has the past year.

 With the exception of one or two of the candidates for office at the re- cent election, all have filed a state ment regarding the amount of money that it cost them during the campaign. According to the affidavit filed by the Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee they had the sum of s2 . 766 while the Republicans had s2,- 225.35. The candidates for sheriff, according to the Sffidavits filed. spent within a few dollars of one another. Hunts expense bill being placed at ss52 and that of Jack White at s934. The candidates for treasurer were ev- en closer. Gaines charged with $500 and Hicks s5Os.25. The others are out as follows: c. 4. Mcdonald, s374; II. E.

Emanuel was hled with the Board of Supervisors evid antly by mistake. his statement says that he expended the sum of s153.
