King, we find the best Interpretation
of King Arthur and his Table Round
The poem is the dream of man COM
ing into practical life and ruined by
one sin. 1t is war of sense and soul,
typified in individuals. the dominant
figure being the pure, brave, tender,
generous, human-hearted Arthur 1t
is not the history of one man or one
generation, but of a whole cycle of
generations. The story in Tennyson's
Idylls is centered around the quest of
the Holy Grail, with a nun as pure as
snow helping purify Arthur's court.
After the search for the Grail, only
three knights were found to be pure
and undefiled by sin-Sir Bois, Sir
Percival and Sir Galahad.
The Idylls are introduced by the
coming of Arthur, his marriage to
Guinevere, "the fairest of all flesh on
earth," but it was Guinevere who
bl ought the sin into Arthur's court,
in her close friendship with Lancelot
that foretold of guilty love. In The
Coming of Arthur spring radiates in
all her glory. sending forth her mes
sage that spring is here. The
pathetic love of Elaine, the Lily Maid,
for Lancelot is beautifully woven in
the heat of summer. The leaves are
changing, summer has gone. the scene
has turned to gold in The Last Tour
nament Winter has come, the earth
is wrapped in ghostly white and Sir
Bedivere, the last of the knights
awaited Arthur's dying command
Alas! Bedivere proves almost a trai-
tor in executing Arthur's last com
msnd. Arthur is dying fast and is
borne by Bedivere to the sea where
the Three Queens await him. And
slowly spake Arthur from the barge:
"The old order changeth. yielding
place to new,
And God fulfils himself in many
ways,
Lest one good custom should corrupt
the world.
Comfort thyself; what comfort is IN
me?
l have lived my life and that which I
have done
May he within himself make pure!
but thou,
If thou shouIdst never see my face
again
Pray for my soul. More things are
wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of"

RECORD BREAKING
MELON SEASON
Shipments Greatly Exceed Those for
the Same Dates of Last
Year

The watermelons are going strong,
both in shipments and prices. Mr..
VI. 5. Wiggins in charge of the Unit
ed States market bureau in the Mar
ion County Board of Trade Office, re-
ports that the total car lot shipments
from Florida this season. to date, is
2417 as against 1878 for the same
date last year. On Thursday of this
week $50 cars of watermelons rolled
out Of Florida. This is probably the
largest single days shipment of
melons that has ever gone out of the
state. So far as Mr.. Wiggins' records
are concerned, it is the largest ship
ment. Yesterday, 341 cars moved
north.
The market the last two or three
days has been firm. The prices oil
yesterdays car lots f. 0. b. cash track
to growers are as follows: Tom Wat
sons bulk per car: Five tiers. 1920 b.
av. $175-$250; 21-22 ID. av., $250-300;
1924 lb .av, $325-$4OO. Four tiers,
26-27 ID. av., $3.50 $4OO; ,28-3O 10 av.,
$4O0-$5O0.
Marion county had over $4,000
acres in watermelons this season.
The rains damaged a considerable
portion of the crops. The probability
is, however, that the shipments out
of the county this season will exceed
those of last season. The season in
this section has about two weeks to
go yet. The total number of cars
skippe dout of Florida last season
IL i
this total will be exceeded this sea-
son. The shipments this year are go
ing as far west as Denver and as far
north at Saskatoon, Province of Sas-
katcheWan. Canada.

and a weaver, who remained at his
loom after IL o'clock Saturday night
were each smitten with palsy. If a
man fell into pit on the Sabbath he
was forced to remain there till the
following day and if a sick person
had fever on Sunday he was sure to
have relapse. Childrenmas day the
mother whipped her children. out of
bed to enforce the meaning of the
day when the innocents had suffered.
Childrenmas day was held sacred and
Edward Nv. postponed his coronation
until Monday, as it fell on Children
mas day.
The English mother tied a piece Of
coral round a child's neck to make the
teeth stay in tight, to keep the child
from being struck by lightning and
was used as a barometer. A charm
for children is given by Herrick:
Bring holy crust of bread
Lay it underneath the head,
'Tis certain charm to keep
The hags away when children sleep.
Let the superstitious wife
Near the child's heart place knife,
Point be up and hilt be down,
While she gossips through the town.
This amongst other mystic charms
Keeps the sleeping child from harm" "
After a wedding. the bride cake,
which was usually made of barley or
wheat, was cut and its small piece
thrown over the head of the bride
and passed through the wedding ring
nine times. 1t was then given to the
young girls that they might dream
Of their lovers. Rosemary was worn at
weddings or funerals to strengthen
tee memory.
The occasion and significance of the
ringing of bells is set forth by a
mcnk:
mems death toll by doleful knoll,
Lightning and thunder / break asun-
der.
On Sabbath all church / call.
The sleeping head / raise from bed.
The winds so fierce do disperse,
Mems cruel rage l do assauge."
Robin Hood, the leader of a band
of outlaws in Sherwood Forest, is
predominating figure in the English
ballads, plays and tales. A better
conception of Robin Hood and his
merry men and their jolly life is found
in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe. Whetn-
er Robin Hood was an actual his
torical character has been much de-
bated. Tho Robin Hood and his
merry men are outlaws there is
"honor among thieves"
Many old castles and abbeys in
England are famous for their ghosts.
Marstead Abbey is one of the finest
specimens in existence of those quaint
and romantic half castle and half
convent, that remains as a monument
OF the olden times of England. 1t
stands, too, in the midst of legen-
dary neighborhood; in the heart of
Sherwood Forest and surrounded by
the haunts of Robin Hood and his
band of outlaws. In this abbey, the
ghost of "Sir John Byron the Little,
with the Great Beard" and the grand
urcle of Lord Byron. the poet, "the
wicked Lord Byron" haunt the prem
ises.
The last and greatest of all English
legends are the stories woven around
King Arthur and his Table Round.
The Importance of this legend cannot
be overestimated. The originator,
Godfrey of Monmouth, little realized
that he was creating q legend that
would last through generations. Not
only is this an English legend. but
other nations have adapted the Ar
thurian legends IN their own Ian

Berlin, June 19.-Alarming reports
on the military situation on the

believe in ghosts or not it is very
hard to find an Irishman who does
not believe in the banshee-
"The cry, the dreadful cry! | know it
louder and nearer.
Circling our Diu-the Banshee-my
heart is frozen to hear her.
Saw you not in the darkness a spec
trail glimmer of white

Constant, but never welcome, she, to
the line of our chief;
Bodeful, baleful, fateful voice of ter

Dimly burneth the lamp-hush! again
that horrible cry!
If a thousand lives could save thee,
thou shouldst not die"
In the Hebride Isles are many Celtic
runes, among which is the Rune of the
Seven Winds. The first four are the
North, East, South and West wind.
The three others are the Breaths of
the Brave, of the Depths of the Sea,
and of the Future. There was an an
cient Celtic custom of burying the
dead with their feet to the east and
Resurrection would come from the
cast and so the dead would be awak-
ened by it's breath across the world
From this has come the tradition that
the dead know whenever the east
wind blows. In the outer Hebrides it
is commonly believed that those about
TO die soon can feel "the breath in
the sole sof their feet" 1t was an old
saying that on the last day the Evil
One would be scourged out of the
world "by the white and dark winds
and the four and three that are
seven"
The "vision" or second sight, was
more common in the Western Isles
than in the Highlands. Many were
gifted with this "sight" and it was
through this that we have the Rune
of the Reading of the Spirit. There
was young girl engaged to a poor
fisherman when she met mate of
ship. He fell in love with her and
because of her refusal, his spirits
gloomy and she foretold all
