Roderick bids him "sit down and share A soldier's couch a soldier’s fare. " h it Roderick swift" this s pinyin t s enemy stranger. who. or ought he on. may bo‘ i. spy? Roderick answers this question when he utters the fol. lowing: “To assail a wearied man were mine And stranger is a holy name; 01116er and rest. and food and re. In vain he never must require." Another story that we have read this year stressed the idea of hospi- tality. James Russell Lowell's "The Vision of Sir Launfai. " In this poem. however. the hospitality is of a much higher order than that disi- playod in "The Lady of the Lake." for the hear in this poem has to give not only food. but love. . “The Vision of Sir Launfal" is the story of a knight who. beautifully ‘ attired and equipped, and in the glow of youth sets out from his castle one disc morning in search of the Holy Grail. He is interrupted on the way by a leper who asks for broad. and Sir Launfai. irritated by this blot of ugliness. tosses "him a piece of gold in scorn.’ but this the leper spurns. Years pass. and Sir Ilaunfai returns to his castle to find it in the hands of strangers and himself destitute. Once more he meets a leper and is asked for aims. This time he has nothing to give ox- copt a piece at broad, but this he gladly shares. The poet tells us that Sir Launfai by this little act of brotherly love. has discovered the Holy Grail for he says "The Holy dapper is kept. indeed. In whatsoever we share with anoth- er 's need: Not what we give. , share . tor the gift without the giver is M."

Motion. 3 Wilton avenue, floating in a deep pool just below the dam. Left Watch on Bank On the bank at the spot were found Scott's hat and coat, indica- tive that ho had either taken them off because of the heat and fallen into the water from a seat on the bank or had deliberately committed suicide. The latter motive is sus— pected by the fact that the dead man had carefully taken his silver watch and gold chain from his vest and deposited them in the coat pocket. Relatives declare Scott had been complaining of pains in the head and had been in poor health for the last several months. Medical Exami- ner Brooks of New Canaan. after a cursory examination. before the body was taken to the funeral par- lors of D. W. Raymond. gave as his opinion that death‘was duo apop- iexy. There are no marks on the body of the dead man. The discovery was evidently made within a. short time after he slipped from the bank, according to Mr. Raymond. who said the body ,was not long in the water. Scott has for the last six or eight months worked at the American Hat company plant although he is s. shoemaker by trade. and was for years with the Lounsbury and Ma-1 thewson Shoo company. He had worked steadily up to Thursday but did not appear Friday. The last time he was seen. as ll termlued. was yeste day neon. he called to‘ Leo Colin. 1 Wilton avenue, who summoned the first dis. trict police headquarters. Policeman Charles F.
