DANCING IN ROUMANlA.
Peasants Make Merry on Sunday to Oil
Their Joints For Monday.

Peasants Make Merry on Sunday to Oil
Their Joints For Monday.
The Roumanian peasants have a say
ing that they must dance on Sunday to
keep the creak out of their bones on
Monday. Most of the dances are at
the public houses-dance halls under
the blue sky, as it Were-and young
and old gather there. The old folk
spend the day with the tipple, while
the young ones dance. There is very
little drinking on any other day of the
week, and tipsy man except on Sun
day is seldom seen.
The dances are organized by the boys
of the community. They arrange for
the music, provide the refreshments
and preside as masters of ceremony.
When the girls reach a manageable
age and have been sufficiently instruct
ed in the household arts they are al
lowed to attend these dances as partic-
ipantS. "She dances at the dance" is
the peasant way Of saying that girl
has made her debut and is eligible for
matrimonial attentions.
The national dance Of Roumania is a
sort of cross between jig and the
game of ring arOund-the-rOsie. All the
dancers clasp hands and form ring.
They then begin a stepping, swaying
motion that never moves them out of
their original tracks, and to the music
of the gypsy band they keep it up for
hours.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

STORY OF A SONG.
"Ren Bolt" and Its Author, DR.. Thomas
Dunn English.

"Ben Bolt" and Its Author, DR.. Thomas
Dunn English.
OF all the American songs none is so
hauntingly sweet as that beginning:
Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben
Bolt
Sweet Alice, whose hair was so brown,
Who Wept with delight when you gave her
a smile
And trembled with fear at your frown?
DR.. Thomas Dunn English, it's au-
thor, contributed his poem to the New
York Mirror in 1913. 1t was work
Of love, written without compensation,
to oblige the editor, N. p. Willis, who
had recently undertaken to put the pa
per on it's feet.
The poem had pathetic Tilt that at
tracted no little attention, but it's fame
did not come until later years. In
1913 Nelson Kneass, an actor, adapted
the poem to an old German melody.
and the air captivated the American
people. Then the song crossed the wa
ter, achieved an equally great success
in England and literally ran round the
world
It remained for George Du Maurier
to immortalize "Ben Bolt" in the play
''Trilby," where the gentle victim of
Svengali sings the air so sweetly to
Taffy the Laird and Little Billee.-
