About ellS.-

There is scarcely anything with
which we are more familiar than
bells, and yet they are II product of
the Christian era, the first authentic
mention of bells of any size being
about 400 A. ID. 1t is true that in
Exodus xviii 80, bells are spoken OF,
but they were probably only small
tinkling ornaments attached to the
high priests robe. Layard, in his
explorations of the ruins of Ninevel,.
found some objects which he be.
lieved to be small bronze bells.
Church bells were introduced into
France about $50 A. d. and import
ed from Italy to England about $50.
In the eleventh century a bell weigh
ing 5000 pounds was looked upon as IL
monster, and it was not until this
sixteenth century that the Amhoise
bell at Rouen, France. was cast,
weighing $4,000 pounds. The great
bells Of the world are: The great bell
Of Moscow, least in 1888, hut left in
the earth for l03 years. height 10
feet 8 inches, circumference 50 feet
9 inches, thickness 9 feet, weight
100000 pounds; the second Moscow
bell. Largest in use in the worldly
256,00O pounds; the Pekin (Chinal
bell. 100000 pounds; the Marking
bell, $4,000; the Vienna bell, $4,000;
the Notre Dame (Paris) bell, $4,000;
the Cologne Cathedral bell, $4,000.
The name is derived from the Anglo
Saxon, bellan, to resound, and is
closely akin to peal. The first peal
or chime of bells in England was tn e
gift of Pope Calixtus Ill to Kings
College, Cambridge, in 1855. TO
ring all the changes possible on u
chime of twelve bells, ut two strokes
to the second. would take ninety.one
years. The history of the world has
been rung in and out by bells; its
great victories have thus been Gel.
ebrated, its great massacres have
been begun to the sound of bells, and
and it's instructions that toppled
thrones have been ushered in by
bells. In fact, today the worlds life
and work are attuned to the sound of
bells. We have the dinner. bell, the
school bell, the factory.bell and the
do0r-bell. We go to our long homes
to the funeral bell. We start on our
journeys to the sound of the locomo.
tive bell. ''Look out for the engine
when the bell rings" is familiar to
us, and if we attend to the signal,
and always be sure that our railroad
agent gives us u ticket on the Bur.
lington Route when we start for
Chicago, St. Louis or any of the great
cities, our journey will be safe and
pleasant. For maps and timetables,

The Vanderbilt. Marlborough Alliance.
1t is all but incredible what may
escape the attention Of persons who
are not in immediate contact with
the 400. and are too busy to study
their newspaper. A gentleman who
lives up the Hudson, and wears blue
clothes, and works pretty hard in the
service of his uncle. was heard on
the Goth day of October to observe:
''Therc was a little squad of New
York people here the other day
whom so and 30 asked me to show
around. There was a Mrs. This and
a Mr.. That, and Il Miss Van-Van-
Van something-oh, yes, u Miss Van
der5ilt, and her mother, and a young
fellow whom l learned afterwards
was the Duke of Marlborough, to
whom the Miss Vanderbilt is en-.
gagged to be married." What he said
further was not of great moment,
but when he spoke of s'Miss Van''
and was honestly stumped to remem-
Der the rest of that young woman's
name, there was one person at least
who listened to him with an amazed
admiration of his ability to live in
the world and go about his business
without concerning himself more
than was necessary with the private
and personal concerns of other folks.
If he had been blind and deaf and
closely employed in serving IL term
in the %penitentiary, it would have
been less prodigious; but to hear an
intelligent gentleman, with the daily
use of all his faculties and Il New
York newspaper, hesitate over the
name of 4 Miss Van something, who
was engaged to Il young fellow said
to be the Duke of Marlborough, was
an amazing experience, and edifying
in proportion to its uneXpectedness.
After all, the wedding of the Amer
lean girl who married the Earl of
Craven was an event OF more deton.
ating quality than the marriage of
the lady who has just become the
Duchess of Marlborough. The Van.
derbilt- marlborough alliance has
been decidedly interesting, and has
been as important us any marriage
between an Englishman and an
American girl well could be. but
no SUCH marriage al be excessively
important except to the persons most
intimately concerned and their per.
sonal friends, and 1T seems unlikely
that any international wedding will
interest this generation of Americans
quite as violently as the Bradley.
Martin wedding of two years ago.
That was IL spring wedding, and
spring weddings following Lent seam
to take hold rather better than fall
ones. But the main thing is that
the international wedding in high
life has ceased to be ~ novelty. 1t
is still a pleasant subject for news.
paper.writers to write about and for
readers to read about, and it is still
a very lively and stimulating social

NEXT Thursday is Thanksgiv-
ing and a national holiday. The
observance of a day late in the
i. fall, after all crops were gathered
in, for the giving of thanks had
its home in Puritan New England
and is still more extensively OBJ
served there than elsewhere. But
as New Englanders have gone
west and south, they have carried
the annual Thanksgiving day with
them and it is observed through
out the length and breadth of our
broad land. In New England
Thanksgiving day finds all the
sons and daughters with all their
sons and daughters at the old
homestead, and lonely indeed is
the member of the family too far
away to visit the old home for the
fall festival. Grandpa and grand
ma preside at the feast and grand
ma prides herself on doing as
much of the baking as possible
and doing it better than the young
er people could. Oh, the turkeys,
chicken pies, pumpkin, nut, mince
and apple pies, the cakes, tarts
and goodies of grandma's thanks
giving dinners! Thanksgiving
without snow is considered bleak
affair as a sleigh ride is usually a
prominent feature of the day. AS
many of the young folks as can
possibly stay, remain in the even
ing for a jolly, old-fashioned mo.
lasses candy pull. Such is a
Thanksgiving in New England.
Although religious in its origin
very few even in devout New Eng
land remember to attend the
church services on that day. In
the newer states such a reunion of
families as described above is i'm
possible and the festival becomes
of necessity more a gathering of
friends than of kindred but it is
always a day of geniality and
good cheer.
In this year of plenty North
Dakotans surely have eason to be
thankful on the appointed day.
