THE VISION OF SIR LAUNFAL

The following is an essay writ
ten by tenth grade girl:
The Holy Grail, the cup out of
which it was thought that Christ
drank at his last supper, was
brought to England by Joseph of
Arimashea and remained in the
charge of his descendants until
one of them failed. to keep the
condition imposed uponthe keep
err of the Holy Grail-that he
should be chaste in thought,
word and deed. When this was
broken, the grail disappeared
and vas sought for vainly by the
knights of Arthur's court for a
long time. 1t was finally found
by Sir Gslahad, the purest and
best of ell the knights.
The author begins his story by
q comparison of It to an organist
who sits down without q definite
idea as to what he Is going to
play. He first strikes q chord
and, after some slight hesitation,
plays on and on, following that

Our Public Library
Hundreds Added

The most beautiful room In the new
city hall, excepting possibly the
council chamber, is the library room.
1t is on the second floor, opposite the
council chamber aud adjoining the
mayors private Office. The room is
large and we'll lighted. Shelves occupy
two sides OF the room. These with the
shelves in the small room adjoining
are ample to hold at least 4 900 books.
The two rooms are nicely furnished
and in keeping with the rect of the
new building. The library now has
the appearance of a real public H.
brary. The location of the city ball
is convenient to almost every body aud
the number of people using it will un-
doubtedly increase rapidly.
The library so far has had one i'm
mense advantage In having had in its
beginnings q librarian SO sympashetic,
not only with books but with people, as
Mrs. Jordan.
No expert librarian can start a
library successfully unless he have, be-
sides his expert knowledge, q true
love for the world of books and q
genuine desire that the people who
paGronize the library should get the
best out of this world. Every one who
goes to the library feels certain
gratitude to Mrs. Jordan for having
given ouCu Hearty lutSTCoe w hOA ooAiy
mission of giving out books to young
and old, wise and simple.
After January fret the library will
be in charge of ealaried librarian, and
will be open all day and for some Of
the evening hours.
New books are to be added az fast as
funds will allow. The following list OF
books is to be purchased with the Car
negie gift of $3.50. AS will be seen by
perusal of the list, 1t embraces. stand
ard works in all lines of literature.
The women who have fostered the
library have always been proud of
the fact that while it is small in size,
yet its scope is broad. 1t is probably
the best general library of it's size in
the United States. In adding books
to the library it is purposed always to
keep in mind this plan-the best of
everything and as much as can be had
of 1t. The new books will probably be
on the shelves by the fret of January.

The special exercises on Wash

thought, sufficient. He said that

that such exercises interfered
with school work by iuterrupting

theme. In the same way the
prelude may be considered the
chord leading to the theme of
the story. The prelude to the
first part describes day in June
when everything is bright and
joyous. In part first it is shown
that the effect of this day is not
lost on Sir Launfsl. the hero of
the story, who seems to see the
brightest prospect of finding the
Holy Grail. There is q marked
contrast between the prelude to
part fret and that to part second T..
The latter describes winter, cold
and bleak with ice and snow
everywhere, and gives the key
note to part second. In part
second Sir Launfsl has become
an old man and great changes
have taken place.
.Ou the beautiful June day de-
scribed in tho prelude, Sir Laun-
fel, remem bering his vow, or
6ered his golden epurs and rich
est mail to be brought. knowing
that bed should not be spread
for him until he had begun the
search for the Holy Grail.
Meanwhile, he lay down on the
rushes and, falling asleep,
dreamed q dream.
Clad In gilded mail he mounted
charger aud dashed from the
gate of the dark old castle, full
of confidence of success. Sir
Launfal's castle WAS a proud old
hall where none but lords and
ladies of the highest degree ever
entered; go, when the knight be-
came aware of q leper crouched
by the gate, a feeling of horror
and loathing came over him, and
he merely tossed the poor man q
piece of gold and rode on. The
leper, however, did not touch it,
declaring that the blessing of the
poor and suffering given from
the heart was better than gold
given from a sense of duty.
After years of vain wandering,
Sir Leuufal returned to his castle
q broken old man. During his
absence another earl had taken
his place, go he bad to turn away
from the gate. IL was christmas
night and as he sat in the snow
trying to warm himself by
thoughts of happier times, q
leper approached and begged an
alms. Sir Lauufal told the I'M
happy man that he beh cid in him
the image of Christine too, had
his crown of thorns. He
thought of the time when he had
SO scornfully tossed the leper q
coin; and though he had SO little
now, he divided his crust of
bread, and gave the leper water
out of q wooden bowl, which,
given in such a spirit, was better
than fine wheaton bread or red
wine. just then q light appeared
about the place, and the leper
arose glorified and spoke softly
to Sir Launfal, telling him that
