MEXICAN BELL RINGERS.

Form Distinct and Important Class
of the Population.
1t takes great army of men TO keep
the church bells going in Mexico. 1t is
estimated that in Mexico City alone
there are more than 1900 bell ringers.
Ibis is the number regularly employed
On days Of religious celebrations the
number is augmented, as the ringing
Of bells must be kept up almost con-
stantly through the day and night on
such occasions. One of the most strik-
ing features of Mexican life TO the cas-
ual visitor is the noise of the church
bells. Every little hamlet and many OF
the ranches In the country have one or
more Catholic churches, and each is
equipped with one or more bell towers.
The great cathedral which stands near
tie national palace In Mexico City has
sixteen Of these towers.
In some towns the constant ringing
Of the church bells is prohibited by the
local authorities. The sounding Of the
bells is permitted once or twice every
hour. Some churches toll the quarter
hours and others toll every five min
utes Most of the churches in Mexico
City toll the quarter, half and hours.
The profession OF bell ringing Is
looked on by the lower classes as being
honorable and distinguished. The bell
ringers are reverenced as being an adj
junct to the clergy. The bell ringers
themselves are usually proud OF their
work. In many cases this place In q
church is handed down from father to
soil through generation after genera
ton
The towers of the large cathedrals
are spacious, and are frequently fitted
with rooms which are occupied by the
bell ringers and their families. Here,
far above the noise OF the traffic OF the
streets below, the faithful tollers Of the
bells live peaceful life, seemingly I'M
mindful of the crashing noise witch
constantly resounds about their heads
They are away from tie other noises
o. the city, but are in the midst OF the
bell clangings, which go on all through
the days and nights.
All of the church bell ringing in Mex
leo is done by hand Some Of the bells
are of ponderous size and great weight
To operate them requires the exercise
Of powerful muscles and much bodily
strength. The bell ringers are divided
into day and night shifts. They are
required to tell the hours with preci
sion. 1t is not necessary to carry 9
watch In Mexico unless one is travel
ing in the country, out of sound OF the
church bells. At any hour, day or night
person can learn the time by listening
to the tolling of the bells
Many of the bells which hang in the
church towers of Mexico were brought
from Spain In the early days Of Span
ish rule. Some of them contain large
amounts Of precious metals, which give
them clear. rich tone. The bell ring
ers take great pride In their bells, anc
J, much care and attention are given &c
keeping them well FURNISHED and their
parts oiled and always in a state Of
good repair.

POET AND HEROINE.
~o~~ON~~~


The recent life Of James Thompson
the poet of "The Seasons by G. C.
MacauIay, reveals the fact that his
first patroness was the Scotch heroine,
Lady Grizel Baillie. his very distant
relative; but in Scotland fortieth
cousins count. She, too, was poet.
The eldest of eighteen children, Lady
Grizel was caretaker from early
childhood. When her fathers friend,
Robert Baillie, was in prison under
ed with messages from his friends and
his son George, her youth rendering
her free from suspicion by the author
tiles. Under the shadow Of prison
and scaffold her love-story began, al
though many ye9rs Of exile and pow
erty interviewed before she became the
wife of George Baillie.
After his fathers execution, his own
life was prescribed; and it was she
who nightly carried him news and food
while he lay hidden in the family
burial-vault. Later, he, young Bahlie,
and most of her family escaped to Hol-
land; but one sister. Julianna. remain
ed behind, and Grizel was sent back
alone TO bring her.
Once she failed. A lone journey for
a young girl was peril,us undertake
ing in those days; bu. Grizel tried
again, and succeeded.
Independent and competent in day
of stay-at- homes, Grizel was athletic,
too, before the athletic girl was dream
ed Of When at last the two sisters
landed at Brielle, they could not afford
a carriage, and started at once to walk
the ten miles 10 Rotterdam.
A fellow traveller escorted them, but,
loaded with the luggage, he could give
no help when, but little out, the deli
cate Juliannas strength began to fail.

vowed she could walk no farther. 1t
was indeed plain that she could not;
SO Grizel hoisted her upon her back,
and carried her the rest of the way
no small feat of muscle, as well as OF
affection.
When ut last the family troubles
ended, Grizel, declining TO become maid
OF honor to Queen Mary, married her
lover, and entered upon forty-eight
years of happiness on his restored es-
tates.
Once. with her children, she revisit
ed Holland, and was eager TO show
them the room In the little house at
Utrecht where their father had court
ed her during their long exile. But
alas for the cruel cleanliness OF Dutch
housekeepers Even though they Offer

OF the house would not allow them to
set foot on her mirror-like polished
floors, and they could but peep from
the threshold.

Farewell To the speIrbinder.

Mr.. Cortelyou's campaign manage
ment in 1904 did away entirely with
the transforming variety of ''spellbind-
err" We are inclined to think tina
the popular taste has outgrown this
method Of campaigning, and that more
people are TO be reached through pie
tOrial presentation of the issues and
personalities Of a canvass car
ICONS. epigrams and moving picture
shows. These have crowded the "spell-
binder" out Of his occupation, and a
wise committee will look for them, per-
haps, for quicier ard better results. SO
far, however, az there remains Il field
for the minor orator ii would be better
for the speaker and the audience that
the relation between them be not faint
ed with professionalism An orator
speaking solely because of conviction
can reach his auditors more easily and
Is likely to do far better work than a
"spellbinder' talking chiefly for pay.
There are plenty of men who are ready
TO 20 on the stump because they have
principles which they wish to advocate.
With their aid the national committee
of either party can probably accomplish
all that is necessary in the way of con-

effects of the protective system from its
inception down to the present hour. To
declare boldly that the only purpose Of
the Republicans in devising the Dingley
schedules is to correct any inequalities
that may exist, and that the aim is to
make the successor Of the Dingley law
as thoroughly protective in principle as
its predecessor. If any other course
shall be pursued Mr. Bryan will have
a distinct advantage; for If the princi-
pie of protection is not correct. or in
its application has been grossly abused,
then it follows as a matter of course
that the Republican party is not the
party to be trusted to deal with the
matter Of revision, for If the Repub-
lican party is not the party of protec-
ton it is nothing at all.-Cedar Rapids

The Roosevelt Policies.
But, although the President retires,
he leaves his policies behind him.
To those policies the Republican Par
ty stands pledged. We must carry
out as we have begun, regardless
alike Of the radicals of reaction and
the radicals Of revolution We must
hold fast to that which is good while
we make the advances which the
times demand.

we have met the problems of the day
and have tried patiently to solve
them. To appeal for votes and for
the power they confer because we
uphold the Presidents policies and
shall continue to sustain them. We
make our appeal with confidence be-
cause we have well defined policy
and are not, like our opponents,
fumbling in the dark to find some
opinion on something.
We believe in the maintenance Of
law and order and in the support of
the courts in all their rights and dig
nifty. We believe in equal rights for
all men and are opposed to special
privileges for any man, or any class
of men. high or low, rich or poor.
We. who established the gold stan
dard, are pleged to the cause of
sound finance. We stand for protec-
ton to American industry and Amer
lean labor, and we will resest all
the assaults of free trade under
whatever name it comes disguised.
We will see to the defence of the
country. We mean to have navy
worthy of the American name. We
seek peace and friendship with all
the nations but alliance with none.
Yet, we have no intention of being
a Hermit Nation. The great SER
vices of the president to the worlds
peace will be continued by the par
ty which he has led. We are party
TT to rule and govern to legislate
and administer, and not fortuitous
collection of atoms whose only form
OF though or motion is to oppose.
Above all, we are true to our tradi-
