xenophon and His Grandfather.

Gamaliel Bradford. in the Yale Review.
As an educator, he (Xenophon) was
the first to write a Rollo book, be it to
his credit or not. His Rollo was called
Cyrus and was King of Persia. but he
had the ideal characteristics of his in
imitable New England successor. He
did all those things he ought to have
done, left undone all those things he
ought not to have done, and abounding
health in him as the reward Of virtue,
and was always impertubably ready
with the aptest of pIatitudes. At home
he was accustomed to a rather Spartan
diet When he visited his grandfather.
tthe old gentleman was naturally
anxious to make things pleasant and
provided the table with goodies to an
unlimited extent. All he got in return
was: Grandpa, what a bother your
meals must be, II you have to reach for
all these dishes and taste so many kinds
of drink" "What!'' says Grandpa.
Don't you find this much better than
youF- food at homer" "Oh. no." SAYS
Rollo. ""The road to repletion is much
simpler and easier with US than with
you. Bread and meat take us right
where We wish to go; but you are going
to the same place. and yet you travel
long way around before you get there"
Imagine a royal grandfather more ex-
quisitely crushed.
