Spanish Girls Dance
to Oriental Melodies
Two things one must witness
while In Seville-—the Sevllluna nnd
a bull tight. Olrls of all dussea
Uauee the- Sevtllnnn—In fact, dur
ing the spring festival or (testa,
girls of the exclusive classes and
families take Ibis means nnd op
portunity of displaying their
charms, and being properly chape
roned by approved grand dames,
dance the Sevilluna In the little
open drawing rooms called caseins
which line the streets like booth#
along a midway.
This graceful dance, dignified
even In Its coquetry, Is accom
panied by the click of the casta*
nets. The dance, like most others
In Andalusia, is nn expression of
an Intermixed race, and naturally
follows In Us music all the orig
inal melodic* brought Into Andn
Itisla by tln> Moor and the Jew. The
unmistakable mark left by these
races Is distinctly recognized In
these dances of Andalusia. Spain
and CnstIHe, triumphant since the
time of Ferdinand and Isabella,
cannot, efface Islam nnd the Orient.
The enstuuet Is of gypsy origin nnd
probably halts from the region
around the Black sea. To watch
the Sevillnnn Is a privileged expe
rience, steeped ns tt Is with the
charm and romantic history of
nn Interesting people.—ltegiiia L.

Structures Left by
Ohio Mound Builders
Ohio was n popular romping
ground.for tlh* mound builders.
This state probably has more
mounds and ruins of these ancient
villages than nay other state. When
engaged In warfare, mound build
ers would make crude effigies of
animals or draw rough figures on
stone.
Fortifications of earthworks ‘for
use In battles were often erected at
the bend of some river or stream.
In this way the mound builders
could prevent other tribes from In
vading their territory, ltoughly
made spears were the main weap
ons used. Many of these have boon
found In the eurthen mounds which
dot the state.
A survey of the state reveals that
there are 1,809 earth mounds
erected on low ground, 170 on .hills,
48 stone mounds on low ground nnd
IS on hills.
These mounds have revealed
many things. Scientists digging In
these historic spots are Just as- li
able to unearth the skeleton of one
Of these mound builders ns he Is
to find stone pots, utensils or
spear heads, says a writer In the
Ohio State Journal.

Two higly noteworthy pictures
are on this week at The Princess.
One of these ' Bardclys The Magni
ficent” with John Gilbert star
ring is on Tuesday, and the sec
ond “Stark Love,” is coining
Thursday.
Both are broadly discussed as
amongst the year’s best. King
Vidor directed the Gilbert picture,
which was made from the Rafael
Sabatini picture.
“Styrk Love” has perhaps creat
ed more of a sensation in Holly
wood than any picture made in six
months. It was made on a shoe
string in western North Carolina,
and turned out to be a master
piece. Every since the filming tha
! makers have been loQking for the
I young mountain hero to offer him
i a big time job in pictures, but thej»
I have never found him.
“The Better ’Ole” due at th?
Webb Tuesday is one of the out
standing comedies of the seuson
Syd Ch&olin is the star. The Bet
j ter ’Ole” stories by Bairnsfather
| were an immense hit, from which
; a stage play was made that also
i was a hit; and now the screen ver
| sion is also going over big.
“The Better ’Ole” no doubt con
i stitutes the funniest, most uproar

LEWIS JOHNSON GETS
TERM ON THE ROADS
Lincolnton, July 22.—Lewis John,
son, of Gustonia, was convicted in
Superior court here today of man
slaughter as result of the death of
Lillian Beatty when Johnson’s car
turned over in July, 1926. Judge
Michael Schenck sentenced him to
not less than six nor more than j
12-months on the roads.
Johnson received the verdict |
calmly, but his mother, who had
been at his side during the entire
trial, became hysterical when the
jury made its report. Three days
wen* consumed in trying the case,
but it took xonly 30 minutes for the
jury to find Johnson guilty.
Following the teachings of Lam
aism, the Kalmuck tribe throw the
bodies of their dead to the mercy
of dogs, vultures and birds of prey.
If the remains are not devoured
within a few days the decreased is j
considered to have been very j
wicked, since dogs and vultures
refuse to eat his flesh.

Sailing Paper Boats,
Great PoePt Caprice
- aenevar Shelley, the great Eng
lish poet, caught sight of a body
of wattir he could not resist the
temptation to make paper boats,
which lie would launch, watching
their progress with great Interest
until they caiislzcd or drifted to
shore again, y He would remain
rooted to the spot until nil his pa*
1 per was exhausted and lie could
make no more boats. As it was his
I custom to take a book along with
j him on ids walks, the ily-leaves of
■ most of ids books were missing.
To what lengths lie went to in*
dulge himself in this-favorite pas
time nmy bo judged frotp the story
i told concerning the day he found
! himself on the bank of the Serpen*
I tine without any paper, having ex
\ hausted his Supply on the pond In
I Kensington garden. The only piece
, if paper he could lay ills hands on
was a £50 note, lie struggled with
temptation for a long time, byt
yielded at last. Twisting the note
with great cure and dexterity, ha
committed It to the water, watch
ing, to be sure, its progress with
even more intense anxiety than
usual. Kate was kind, and in due
time the little craft was wafted to
the opposite shore, where the owner
was already waiting its arrival
with hated breath.—Market for Ex

Modern Hymn Writera
Fail to "Take Mold”
Hymn writing; says the New
York Evening Post, seems to have
become a lost art. Down to the
early eighties practically all of our
most beautiful and cherished hymns
had been composed and churchgo
ers were as familiar wltll their
hymnal as "Gospel hymns Nos. 1,
2 'and 3” ns they were with the
three It's or the catechism. With
the Introduction of Jnzs and blues
into our secular musical life com
posers of hymns, especially fori
evangelistic services, wrote some-:
what in that manner. Not unlike
ninny of the songs written for the
moment, these soon lost favor. The
old hymns, however, still retain
their inspiration and charm. Such
authors ns Fnnny Crosby, Ira
D. Sankey and others who wrote
these '.‘Immortals’ will always be
revered by those whom they' hays]
comforted. Just as our song
writers swing around the circle, we
nitty again produce writer^ of
snored music who will compose
hymns similar to those of a half
century ago.
Surely Not Overworked
Tlie doctor had colled at the
Jones home. The occurrence was
so unusual that Jed Smith, from
the next farm, decided to investi
gate.
“Yes," answered old Jones, upon
being questioned. “Eliza, the wife,
is sick. Don’t know Jest what’s!
ailin’ her. Site got up" this mbrnin’!
and had breakfast for me and the
hands at five, and then she did
some washln’ and some bakin’ and

She Meant Well
Little Mary’s eyesight was in
clined to ho weak, and after an ex
amination the doctor announced
that she would have fo wear
glasses.
Some time Inter he happened to
call at the house, nnd in the course
of conversation asked after his lit
tle patient.
“Oh. doctor,” said the child’s
mother, somewhat tearfully, “I
can’t get her fo wear those glasses
during the day, hut”—she bright
ened up a little—“when she sleep*
I creep upstairs nnd slip them on I"
Famous Academy
TheRo.vnl academy, which now has
Its home In Burlington hou%e, Picca

poor students of talent, to whom It
grants scholarships enabling them

How Sad
The young girl had plainly been
weeping. “Are you sick?” they
asked her.
“No,” she said, still sobbing a
little. ‘‘But some one called me
a woman and It’s the first time
anyone called me a woman.”
“Well, aren’t you u womant" they
asked her.
“I suppose T am. hut It's the first
time anyone ever called me one and
It makes me feel so old.”—Spring
