According to an investigation that
has taken place in England, the aston
shing fact has been discovered that APP
proximately five or six per cent Of peo-
pie wearing the title Of baronet in that
country are in reality bogus lordhngs,
without vestige Of right to their pre-
tended distinction This discovery has
so upset the whole fabric Of British So
ciety that the investigation may be
pushed in other directions. If so much
corruption exists among the lesser
claimants to nobility it is just possible
that a spurious duke or two may have
sneaked into the inner circle.
AS matter Of fact this alleged dis
covery will be Of almost as much in
terest to people on this side of the wa
ter as it is to the people of England
themselves. For instance it would seem
that our American girls are taking quite
enough chances with genuine British
baronets without extra hazard of mar
rying ringer" who has jumped some
body claim to title Human nature
is about the same everywhere. In this
country we are tempted to steal money
which represents the acme of American
powe. and influence. In Great Britain
the temptation is to steal titles, which
are more potent even than money.
"Burke's Peerage" gives list of ,06l
baronets for England. The recent dis
coyery shows that from fifty to sixty
of these are unfit for market. That is
indeed sad state of affairs.
During the past few years England
has raised a great furore against our
beef and other commercial goods. The
eye Of British suspicion has been cast
upon everything sent to England from
this country. 1t is about time America
retaliated by requiring England to in
spect and properly tag the fortune
hunters who come across the Atlantic
with coronet i'll one hand and tin
cup in the other. Our system Of pro-
lection to infant industries should be
extended to safeguarding the interests
of those silly-pated American girls of
wealth who need protection most.

Sensible Young Women.

A club of young women in South Da-
kota has announced that its members
cannot consider matrimonial PROPOSE
ton from any young man who does not
possess 50, 600 in cash or its equivalent
in property, and at least 1000 life in
surance
Perhaps the property qualification is a
little high, for many an earnest and
loving couple might start with less and
jog pleasantly along in thrifty fashion
until the sum should be duly increased.
But the requirement of $1,000 life insur-
ance is not excessive, being under the
average amount of each of the regular
policies in force throughout the country.
But even if only modest beginning, it
is an eminently judicious one and any
young husband can jam ahead all the
more courageously and build NJ com
petence knowing that there is at least
50. 600 to the good for his little family
Sensible young ladies those, and sure
to make the best kind of wives, provid-
ed they possess the same qualities eX-
acted of the young man.

ternut and the hard maple with the
open spreading tops can be found.
Do not plant too near the building,
and do not plant too many trees. Plant
elms if they can be had-and some var
iety is preferable.
If the people of the district can be
interested to do it, get the school yard
fenced with almost any kind of fence
except barbed wire, and plant Virginia
creeper or wild grape vines along this
fence, and train them to cover the
fence. This effort will be gratifying.
Clean up the school house yard, and
clean up around it. 1t will give those
who do it more satisfaction than they
can believe in advance. A trellis or two
with a vine or two cost hardly anything
but little effort; and a flower bed or
two in the yard, with here or there a
shrub Of the right sort will be good
investment. Try it.
