Claim to Descend From Kings.

1t is in the fitness of things that
the great yearning for old world IT,
ties displayed by many American
heiresses should be followed by the
claim of royal ancestry by some
American millionaires. The Astors
are claiming descent from the Stuart
kinds of Scotland and the Rockfel-
lers are sure that they are Of the old
masterful Plantaganet stock of Eng
land. ]. P. Morgan is yet to be
heard from, but some of his charac-
teristics lead to the belief that he is
Of the Tudor line.
To be sure the claims of the
Rockefellers and Astors are not yet
quite established. 1t seems that at
some period or other in the past a
mother or father, husband or wife
was missing, but little defects like
that may be no real barrier when
great wealth and an obliging Her
AIDS College are taken into account.
With the claims Of these distin-
guiShed men established beyond all
cavil the foundation Of an American
aristocracy will be firmly laid. AL
ready many Of the proud sons of
Newport and Pittsburg have habits
and character strongly remindful OF
Charles II and George w.
Who knows but that in some mag
nificent palace on the banks of the
Potomac or Hudson, or on the shores
of one of the great lakes naughty
Tudor, or courtly Stuart, or infexi-
BILE Plantaganet may wear the kingly
crown and hold in his firm grasp
the sceptre of state? There is, per-
haps, but one obstacle in the way,
but it is enough, and that is the
sturdy common sense of the liberty
loving plain people.
