There are many aristocracies For

strange spectacle of men who are
noble like you and me because they

good old England, the mother of us
all, We have the anona of an her:d-
itary house of lords claiming the
right to override the will of the COM

enough was barber TO James l., and
another because his great ancestor
was hostler to Charles III. The first
lady In waiting to her royal highness,
Queen Consort to George V. gets To-
600 pounds year; and Alfred Austen,
poet laureate gets 100 pounds year
Considering the quality of poetry that
he puts out he probably is abundantly
paid, but you can see that by many
times you would better carry her
lady's skirts at great functions than
jingle English rhymes. My Lord of
the Black Rod gets 5000 pounds a
year for carrying the mace into the
commons and back to the lords at ire

parliament That is about the amount
of work | would like to do and the
amount of salary should like to draw.
The aristocracy of birth is dead. 1t
had its part in the development of so
ciety, but now like a withered bough
hangs lifeless on the tree of human
government. Many a weary winter ii
