Youth's Companion for 1913. j The Youth’s Companion ap peals to every interest of family j life, from housekeeping to ath-1 letics. It begins with stories of i youthful vim and vigor, with articles which disclose the secrets of successful play in great games, j with charming tales of life at the girls colleges. But The Compan ion does not surrender these readers when they have entered the more serious paths of life. Mothers will welcome the page for little children and the weekly doctor’s article. Fathers will find the important news of the day as it is, and not as it is ru mored to be. The entire house hold will appreciate the sketches which touch gently on common foibles or caricature eccentricity. In short, for less than four cents a week The Companions brings into the home clean entertain ment, pure; inspiration, fine ideals, increase of knowledge. Names rarely seen in tables of contents will be found in The Companion’s Announcement for 1 1913, which will be sent upon re-! quest —with samples of the pa per, to those not familiar with it Every new subscriber for 1913 will receive free all the issues for the remaining weeks of 1912; j also, free, The Companion Win-1 dow Transparency and Calendar j for 1913, in rich, translucent col ors—the most beautiful of all; Companion souvenirs.

When she had finished the story she said: “Dear Billy, if your papa were to die would you work to support your dear mamma?’’ “Naw!” said Billy, unexpectedly. “But why not?” “Ain’t we got a good house to live in?” "Yes, dearie—but we can’t eat the house, you know.” “Ain’t there a lot o’ stuff in the pantry?” “Yes, but that won’t last for ever.” “It’ll last till you git another husband, won’t it?.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, OCT. 24, 1912. ! RIDING THE SEVILLE BELLS ~ Primitive and Daring Way In Which That* of the Qiralda Ar® i;; Rung. I | In ordinary circumstances bell ringing is a peaceful occupation to which white-haired, venerable men | poem ideally suited. But the men who ring the bells in the famous Gi ralda of Seville must be young men - ot unusual agility and steadiness of i 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 ia 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 j 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 j 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 a horizontal position as the bell reaches the limits of its swing, and again riding gracefully to an upright position as the monster sways backward with another thun dering note. The most extraordinary part of the daring performance is the sight of the bell-ringer calmly swaying the bell while it hangs far out of the belfry over the city, for the outward swing sends the counterpoise with the ringer into space beyond the arch. —Youth’s Companion. SIMPLE WEDDING IN FAVOR Quieter Ceremonies and Gatherings Are Much More Common Than Hae Been the Rule. The quiet wedding seems to be far more usual now. No longer is ' it considered an alarming symptom of eccentricity to l>e married with out bridesmaids, best man, a church ful of spectators, red carpet, cabs, buttonholed cabmen flourishing be ribboned whips, old jokes in the ves try weakened with tears, rice, volley of flowers, old boots and shoes and slippers, a 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 volves 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 1 by any means so usual as they used i to be—particularly among the mid- i die classes. Even at the most “sash- j ionable” churches the number of ; quiet weddings increases steadily. ■ The typical wedding of the day is a < little gathering of relatives. i . i i 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 $225,000,- 000 whose plans look to the ulti mate development of over 1,500,- 000 horsepower. Financial interests in London, New Y'ork 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. THE ORIENTAL DANCER. Charles Frohman, at a dinner at the Metropolitan club in New York, i condemned a certain outrageously immodest Oriental dancer. “She must hare a nasty mind,” Mr. Froh man said, “to dance like that” “Oh, don’t he too hard on her,” said a playwright “She may not under stand, you know. % Consider how young she is.” “I 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 stripling.” UNLUCKY NUMBER.

Girls and Boys Will 1 Hold Fair In Thomas. Thomasville, Ga., Oct. 21. The exhibition from the Boys’ 1 Corn club and the Girls’ Canning , club of this county at the Thomas i County Farmers’ fair, to be held » here next month, is expected to • be an unusually fine one and will 1 be one of the features of the fair. ■ Great interest has been taken in both of these clubs by the mem bers this year and there is much ! competition among them to make the best showing. The members of the Thomas ville Study class are raising a fund to contribute to the support of the girl from the canning club who makes the best exhibit and wins the scholarship offered of a year at the State Normal school. It is probable that the Twentieth Century club of Boston will also contribute to this fund, as it is of | interest to to the whole county and Boston has a fine member ship in the canning club.
