Daring Bell Ringers.

There is a curious custom among the
young Spaniards Of the city of Seville
On certain fete days, relates a tourist,
the young men of the place have per-
mission TO ring the bells in the clock
towers of the cathedral They have an
ingenious and original way of ringing
them. While the regular bell ringers
repose these amateurs climb up on to
the bells, throw them forward with all
their force and ride upon the bells in
their furious swinging TO and fro We
may imagine what an uproar is pro-
duced when all the bells Of cathedral
are being treated in this manner. Any
man who Is able. may exercise his skill.
and the duration Of the ringing de-
pends upon the caprice or the strength
and patience Of the ringers.
The spectacle Is very strange OF the
great bells swinging. with one. two or
more bold ringers hanging from them
III any attitude which seems to them
best adapted TO pushing out the most
noise. In the Giralda at Seville. the
first time I witnessed this. the clalnor
was frIghtful When / looked up,
thought at first some unfortunate was
entangled in the bell rope. but I soon
found II was a matter of sport. Anoth-
er ringer appeared suspended IN the air,
holding the bell by the ears Cr the rim
or the wooden framework and follow
ing II IN all it, movements. sometimes
feet. sometimes head. downward Such
are the daring bell ringers of Seville.

An Illinois school girl is credited
with the following essay: King Solo
mon was a man who lived ever so
many years ago, and in the country
that he governed he was the whole
thing He was an awful wise man and
one day two women came to him each
holding the leg Of baby and both
claimingit And King Solomon wasn't
feeling well and said "Why couldn't
the brat have been twins and stopped
all of this bother?' And he called for
his sword and was going to cut the
baby in two and give each one piece
of it, when the one who was the
mother of the kid said: Stop Solomon,
stay thy hand Let the old hag have
it. If | can't have n whole baby
don't want any Then King Solomon
told her to take the baby and go home
and wash its face, for he knew it was
hers. He told the other woman to go
chase herself. King Solomon built
King SolomOn's Temple, and was the
father of all the MasOns. He had 700
wives and 800 lady friends, and that's
why there are SO many Masons in the
world. My papa says King Solomon
was hot stuff myself That is all
know about King Solomon.-Bradfo

Thirty-Fourth Anniversary.

With this issue the Press cele-
brates its Bath anniversary. Dur
ing all these years., (many OF which
have been amusingly stormy for it's
present editor), we point with pride
to the reputation this journal has
always maintained for strict adher-
ence to Stalwart Republicanism,
the upbuilding Of Emporium and
Cameron county the material ad-
vancement of every interest calcu-
lated to advance our county,
While we have differed, honestly
we believe, with some of our citi-
zens upon public questions, we
hope our readers accord to us hon
esty of purpose.
During our editorial management
of this journal, we shall steadily
adhere to those consistent prin-
ciples laid down for its guidance by
our beloved preceptor, the late G.
B. Gould, whose certainly unselfsh
labor in behalf of this people was
generally appreciated by our read
ers and accorded purity of heart.
The Press has never been sway
ed in the past, no matter how po-
tent the influence may have been,
in its duty,as it seemed right-and
never will as long as we shall di-
rect its course.
With the kind indulgence, sup
port and encouragement of the
good people of this county we hope
to increase the influence of the Peo-
ple's Paper-THE CAMERON COUNTY
PRESS. We extend our thanks to
our patrons for their encouragement
and support and especially we de-
sire to thank our editorial brethren.
