American Heraldry.

American life and literature are fun of
concessions to the claim that some of US
are better than others, not on account of
any personal virtues or attributes. but
because of distinctions possessed by our
ancestors. It seems characteristic of this
social 'paryenuism" that the American
girl who took part in the suffragette
assault upon Parliament in London is
described as belonging TO a prominent
pioneer family Of Nevada.
This announcement in the London Mail
is entirely consistent with our effort to
connect everybody who to-day attracts
attention with somebody who attracted
attention. no matter how little, at for
mer period. We hear of swell entertain
ments. exclusive clubs. -aristoeratic"
suburbs, and everybody who is mentioned
in the papers for one cause or another is
prominent" This is reduced to the abb
surd when special distinction is predicated
on odd" families in a community dating
from about 1850.
Judged by the recurrence of such
phrases in the press and literature of the
land. the reading public is getting curious
about the doings and sayings of those
who are mot prominent" perhaps. but
in whom they are interested, nevertheless.
Our seventeenth or eighteenth century
ancestors in the main were plain folk.
A few of them may have been of
European aristoeratic origin, but as a
rule they were as poor as the masses of
aliens now coming to our shores. Let 1t
be said right here as our unaIterable
opinion that any American coming from
decent poor folk who have told the truth
for as much as ten generations ances.
trally is better off than most of those
who figure in American books Of heraldry.

The "Other" Woman.

Rarely in the history OF criminOlogy

"Cherchez ia femme" been more vindi-
Gated than in the case Of DR.. Crippen,

murder of his wife in London. Crippen

Of retribution- While physically killed
