THE GOOD OLD INN.
Passing Of Word That Has Played
Its Part in Uist0ry.

Its Part in History.
1t might be interesting to know who
was the first person to keep an inn
The word is Of Anglo-Saxon origin, and
ligniies lodging house; another an
other term was gest hus, house for
guests; or cumena hus, q house for
corners. Near the highroads few
scattered inns were established for the
convenience of travellers over night.
Edward the Confessor ordained that
II n traveller remained over three nights
In an inn he was to be styled third
aight-awn-hinde, and the landlord was
answerable for him exactly as though
he was one Of the servants. A good
many alehouses were dotted around
Saxon England, and the sturdy early
Engllshmen spent great deal Of time
in them. Chaucer's friar knew well
the tavern in every town. and Dun
stan found it necessary to ordain that
priest SHOULD in nowise be alesop"--
that is, a story teller or reciter OF an
alehouse. Efforts were continually
made to keep down the number Of inns
In the reign Of Edward |. there were
but three in the whole Of London.
The inns Of the middle ages were fur
nished in very homely manner. In
the fifteenth century the famous st.
George inn at Salisbury possessed 10
guest rooms, each with three beds in 1t,
table on trestles and oaken benches.
People ate and slept in the same apart
ment Unfortunately. At this time
titled persons slept on bed, while
commones had to put up with mat
tresses--a curious distinction.
In French and German medieval
inns humorous custom prevailed for
the punishment OF those convicted of
talking and Boosting too much. A
wooden knife was always placed by the
side Of the president Of the table,
whose duty and privilege 1t was to put
the boosters to silence by ringing the
bell in the blade or blowing the whistle
concealed in the handle. He then
handed the knife to the man who had
been "called down." who kept it until
he id turn had chance Of presenting
1t to some one who proved greater
boaster than himself.
During the seventeenth and eigh.
teenth centuries the inns Of Paris and
London were the gathering places Of
the wits and literary men Of the day;
even the noblemen used the inns as o
sort Of club. The duke Of Montague
gave a dinner at the Devil, and tradi-
ton says the great Elizabeth herself
did not disdain to eat pork and peas
at the Kings Head, in Fenchurch |
street. An ancient covered metal dish |
Is still exhibited there as the one she |
used. Most of the famous old literary |
laverns are now merely matter Of his
tory. The rooms were small and low,
with only wooden benches, but the
giants Of the time used TO gather there
Tor the social intercourse they craed.
Nine Host was personal friend OF his
and the same customers fire.
Iuented the same inn year after year.
