English as Bell Lovers.

From the London Chronicle.
To one sixteenth century visitor at least
the English seemed to be q nation Of bell
lovers. This was Paul Hentener, a Ger
man. who wrote OF his travels In this
country during the reign OF Queen Eliza
beth THE English" he said, excel in
dancing and music. for they are active
and lively. though Of thicker make than
the French. They are vastly fond of
great noises that fill the air. such AS the
firing of cannon. drums and the ringing
of bells; SO that in London it is common
for a number Of them, that have got a
glass in their heads, to go into some
belfry and ring the bells for hours to-
gether for the sake of exercise
And though bell foundries are SO few in
this country, We can lay claim to the
oldest association of bell ringers in Eu-
rope-the Ancient Society of College
Youths" The society was established In
1877, two Of the founders being Lord
Brereton and Sir Clffc Clifton. and de-
rived it's title from the vanished city
church of st. Martin Vintry. on College
hill, where the youths used to practice
To the college youths was dedicated sted-
mans .Tintinalogia, the earliest book on
change ringing. which was published In
1867.

Polls,

Thomas dramas OF the west. will be the
Offering Of the Poll Players this week.
This play Of army post life in the SOUTH
west was revived In New York during
the present summer season with Dustin
Farnum and Elsie Ferguson in the cast.
Tomorrow night s. z. Poll will intro
duce to Washington playgoers a new
signed as leading man with Percy Has
well in Toronto in order to accept the
present position. He will play the role Of
Lieut. Denton in Arizona" the part
created by Robert Edeson.
Another interesting announcement from
Polls is that Mark Kent has returned
to the company after long vacation on
In the picturesque character role Of Can
by, the ranchman, part which brought
great fame to Theodore Roberts. As
Tony, a vaquero, Dudley Hawley will
play the part created by Vincent Serrano,
and Craig Weston will be the successor
to Lionel Barrymore's lines. Miss Ger
trude Bondhill will be seen as Bonita, in
love with Lieut.. Denton. Miss Helen
Tracy will be Mrs. Candy, and Miss LOtta
Linthicum will impersonate Mexican
beauty, Estrella.
Arizona" is a play of finely developed
suspense. The plot deals chiefly with a
murder, of which Lieut.. Denton is at
first suspected. but later the circumstan-
tial evidence seems to point to young
German girl, whom the murdered man
had betrayed.
There are many quaint character studies
In the drama, and these will afford adj
mirable acting opportunities for the regu-
lar Poll company members as well as for
q number Of new members.

From the LONDON CnrOnlcie
The story of the boy who was exhibit
ed throughout Scotland as a genuine
Irish leprechaun leads one to ask what
exactly a leprechaun Is, for, Of course.
each variety of fairy has its special
characteristics. The leprechaun Is pc
culiar to Ireland, and is in the form OF
a little old man. by profession maker
Of brogues. He Is only discovered by the
sound Of the hammering Of his brogues.
and any one capturing him can induce
him by threats to reveal where his
wealth is hidden. But no one yet has laid
hands on that wealth. for If you take
your eye of the leprechaun for as much
as a second he has the power OF vanish
Ing. however tight you may hold him.
And his ingenuity in making you glance
away Is always successful
Only once did that ingenuity fall. and
even then the treasure escaped unpil-
LACED. A careful peasant, proof against
all temptations. kept his eye on the lit
tie brogue maker until the money was
revealed in a field of ragwort. But he
had no bag. So he tied his garter round
the particular plant under which the
money was hid and went to fetch one,
only to find on hts return that every
ragwort in the field was adorned with a
red garter.

The various cities and counties OF
the state are making up their levy for
1914, and the figures are APPALLING
Taxes all over the state run from 4 to
5 per cent, which is considered pretty
high interest in some countries, and
it is going to be an oppressive drain
on property owners. From year to
year taxes are creeping upward, and
there seems no way of remedying the
evil. 1t will be hardship next spring
for many of the people of this and 9TH
or counties to meet these taxes, and
the list of delinquents will be large.
The tendency of the times in govern
ment is to run to extravaganza in
stead of economy. The fault is a good
deal in ourselves, dear Brutis, for we
listen to the demagogue crying out for
this or that so-called progressive"
measure, and endorse such additional
burdens by electing him to office to
carry out his pet schemes. We are
getting mighty poor class of govern
ment at very high price, and it is
about time the voters insist upon cur
tailment of expenses on the part of
those elected to Office. II people do
not insist upon change of methods
in a few years taxes will be con-
fiscatory.
