RIDING The SEVILLE BELLS
Primitive and Daring Way In Which
Those Of the oIraIda Are
Runq.

In ordinary circumstances bell
ringing is a peaceful occupation to
which white-haired, venerable men
seem ideally suited. But the men
who ring the bells in the famous Gil
ralda of Seville must be young men
Of unusual agility and steadiness of
nerve.
When the city is to make merry
on feast days the ringers climb to
the belfry, and then, by the aid of
a rope and steps cut in the wall of
the tower, each mounts to the bell
he is to ring and stands astride its
brazen shoulders. Then he presses
the bell with his feet, holding on to
the cross-piece to which it is swung.
Gradually the great bell sways to
the movement of the man astride it
until it acquires a momentu mthat
swings the hammer, first gently, and
then with increasing force, as the
sweep of the bell widens, until the
air is trembling from the blows that
strike the massive sides.
The riders bend and rise and fall
with the action of the bells, now ap.
pearing to the observer from below
to be in horizontal position as thu
bell reaches the limits of its swing
and again riding gracefully to al
upright position as the monste
sways backward with another thun
dering note.
The most extraordinary part o
the daring performance is the sigh
of the bell-ringer calmly swayin,
the bell while it hangs far out of tn,
belfry over the city, for the outward
swing sends the counterpoise witt
the ringer into space beyond thu
arch.-Youth's Companion.

!: SOCIAL EVENTS. :

The dance given at Trimble's
Hall Tuesday evening by Mr., j.
r. Mcgowan in honor of Miss
Mary Ray Trimble, was attended
by a large crowd. The hall was
beautifully decorated by Mr.. Clar-
ence Leach, of Lexington, who is
"a past master in his profession.
The most enhancing music was
furnished by Weber's orchestra of
ten pieces of Cincinnati, O. At
intermission a bountiful plate
lunch, consisting of old ham, clo
quets, sandwiches, chicken salad,
potato chips, beaten biscuits and
coffee, followed by ices and cakes
was served. Mr.. Magowan's
guests spent a most pleasant even
ing, and this dance will be remem-
bered for years as one of the
SWEETEST social functions ever
given in our city.

GREAT SOUTHERN PROJECTS.

Projects to harness the streams of
the south exceed in magnitude any
similar enterprises in the world.
New companies have been formed,
with capital aggregating $225,OOo,-
900 whose plans look to the ulti-
mate development of over 1,5OO,-
900 horsepower. Financial interests
in London, New York and Pittsburg
control most of the sites for the de-
velopment of water power. With
southern streams turning the wheels
of mills, running trains, and light
ing cities, the south may in time
wrest the industrial supremacy of
the country from the east.

SIMPLE WEDDING IN FAVOR
Quleter Ceremonies and Gatherings
Are Much More Common Than
Has Been the Rule.

The quiet wedding seems to be
far more usual now. No longer is
it considered an alarming symptom
of eccentricity to be married with
out bridesmaids, best man, church.
full of spectators, red carpet, cabs,
buttonholed cabmen fourishing be-
ribboned whips, old jokes in the YES
try weakened with tears, rice, volley
Of flowers, old boots and shoes and
slippers, parade Of presents, break
fast, frock coat, orange blossom,
satin, and so on.
Man has always quailed before
such a catalogue, but woman ap-
pears to have reveled in it, but the
general fashion for simplicity in
wolves the simple wedding. The red
carpet is following the seven-course
dinner and bridesmaids are joining
the other ghosts of the past.
There are still, of course, many
elaborate weddings, but they are not
by any means 80 usual as they used
to be-particularly among the mid
die classes. Even at the most clash
ionable" churches the number of
quiet weddings increases steadily.
The typical wedding of the day is a
little gathering of relatives.

THE ORIENTAL DANCER.

Charles Frohman, at a dinner at
the Metropolitan club in New York,
condemned a certain outrageously
immodest Oriental dancer. "She
must have a nasty mind" Mr.. Froh-
man said, "to dance like that" ooh,
don't be too hard ON her." said a
playwright. "She may not under
stand, you know. Consider how
young she is" 81 deny" said Mr..
Frohman, "that she's as young as
you imply; but I'm bound to admit
that, even though not young, she's
certainly a STRIPPING"

Simplicity is the elimination Of
the non-essential in all things. It
reduces life TO its minimum Of real
needs; raises it to its maximum Of
powers. Simplicity means the eur
vival-not of the fittest, but of the
best. In morals it kills the weeds
of vice and weakness so that the fow-
ers of virtue and strength may have
room to grow. Simplicity cuts of
waste and intensifes concentration.

WILLARD WHIPS KEARNS
s'Soldier'' Takes Count After Smash
on Chin.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Jesse Willard
knocked out Soldier Kearns in the
eighth round of a scheduled ten-round
bout at Madison Square Garden Fri
day night.
The knockout came suddenly.
KearnS landed q hard left to the ribs
and a right to the neck. The blows
appeared to anger the Kansas fight
er and he Immediately rushed and in a
mixup brought a left hook up under
Kearns' chin and followed it quickly
with a right hook Kearns dropped
backward and was counted out.
Neither fighter showed much
knowledge of boxing. Willard, who
had an advantage of half a foot in
height, missed many swings.
Kearns played mostly for the body,
but wasted his blows on Willard s
arms. The weights were Willard 221
and Kearns 1876.
Willard scored a knock down in the
first round with q right hook to the
jaw, but Kearns rose Immediately. In
the fifth both men were tired. Will
lard drew blood with a left jab to
kearns' nose. Kearns after missing
with a wild swing floundered to the
floor on all tours.
Sheriff Hamburger, CT New York
county, attended the bout in his Off
cial capacity and watched the contest
closely but made no move to inter
fere. After the bout he said he had
seen no reason whatever for interior
ence.

ODD HOG DISEASE
Farmers Do Not Believe ChOl-
era Caused Their Loss.
Mysterious MaIady Claims 200
of One Herd.

Sterling, Kan, Dec. ga number
of farmers in this locality have been
most unfortunate in the loss of hogs
during the year, and more especially
in the fall. 1t is not believed by some
to be due to cholera and stockmen
here are at a loss to know how such
trouble originates and develops. The
majority of those reported as having
met with this misfortune, are located
north of Sterling one party losing as
many as 200.
A. T. Davis, Oran Clark, A. jane
son, T. r. Sturgeon and John Smith
are included in the list.
A number of hogs were shipped to
Wichita and other points to avoid loss
on the farms, although many were not
large enough to bring good prices.
More than 100 died at Mr.. Davis
place and he says it is a mystery how
many were not even sick that had
been kept in the same pens with 9TH
ers that could not be saved. None of
his larger hogs died and there were
instances where some would not live
more than one day and others an en-
tire month.
A few having a bad fever would eat
but little for a week part of them dy-
ing soon while others recovered. Very
sore Jaws were also to be found in
few instances.

ROPER TO RETURN?
Missouri Dreams Eastern Coach May
Go to Columbia.

Kansas City, Dec. 2S.-There is a be-
lief among several of the University
of Missouri alumni in Kansas City that
". W. Roper will coach the Tiger foot
ball eleven next fall. w. W. Roper,
more often Bill Roper, among Mis-
souri, football followers, is the gent
with the highly developed personality
who drilled the 1909 Tigers to a Mis-
souri, valley championship. Roper left
Missouri to become head coach at
Princeton. The eastern Tigers failed
to beat Yale when their chance looked
rosy and Mr.. Roper was relegated to
the position of head of athletics and
advisory coach the following year He
is now an attorney in Philadelphia He
took part in the Wilson campaign.
According to a Missouri aIu1nnus in
this city who is q close follower of
football and a very ardent Tiger rooter,
c. L. Brewer, Missouri's athletic direc-
tor, will confer with Roper while in
the east this week in regard to the
coaching of the 1913 Tigers. Mr.. Brewer
is in New York today to attend the an
nual meeting of the National Col
legiate association. 1t is said that he
has an engagement with Mr.. Roper
and will endeavor to persuade the for
