nroy, ~ y" faleonry was considered a great sport
There once lived in Florence a man
named Federico. who for feats OF
arms and accomplishments was held
in higher esteem than any caVaiier
of his age. This young man feli
deenlv in love with Monna Giovanni,
renuted in her time to be one OF the
mnst beautiful and agreeable women
in Florence In order 10 win heF
affections. Federigo expended his for
tune in tournaments, feastS ana pan
Duets. But this lady, being aireaoN
married, paid no attention and dld not
even notice FEDERICO.
At This extravagant rate FEDERICO
was soon impoverished and was
forcad ~ retire to a small farm. He
s,;lI retained a favorite falcon. which
d for her rare qualities was nowhere to
he matched. All that lie had left to
do now was to amuSe himself with
his falcon and live on the produce OF
his farm.

wanna shortly after this fell sick. and,
feeling the approach of death, made
his will. making his son the sole in
heritor of his wealth. If this only
son should die. Monna Giovanna would
be the heiress.
To PASS her year Of mourning
Monna Giovanna went to one OF her
estates. which happened TO be near
the farm of FEDERICO. Now, the son
of Monna Giovanna was a great
sportsman, and he soon saw ana de-
Z. sired the favorite falcon that be-
HnlllH
of no way to obtain it, however, for
he knew how dear it was TO its
owner Finally, the boy fell sick,
and his mother. having no other
child, loved him TO excess, and as she
nursed him entreated him to know II
there was anything in the world ne
desired. Finally he told her he wanted
Federigo's falcon-and said that if he
did not get it he might die.
Loving her son SO much, Monna
Giovanna tried to think of some way
to satisfy him. She remembered that
FEDERICO, in the days of his wealth,
had often sought TO please her. Yet
she could not quite bring herself to
ask him for the falcon outright.
Finally, she promised her son that
she would get the falcon, and set out
to visit FEDERICO, accompanied by a
woman friend.
1t happened that the day was not
suitable for hawking, so FEDERICO
was in his garden. He was aston
ished beyond words to learn that
Monna Giovanna was calling on him,
and rushed to welcome her.
"Federigo." she said. II am come
to recompense you in some sort for
the evil you have received at my
hands at a time when you loved me
more than was wise on your part,
and the recompense I intend is to
make myself and my companion your
guests at dinner today
st do not remember ever receiving
evil at your hands," FEDERICO replied.
"and, il it were in my power I should
be happy to expend my fortune a
second time in your honor"
Meanwhile. FEDERICO was thinking
deeply of how he should entertain
this woman who had not conde-
scended to honor him with such a
personal visit when he was wealthy.
He had no worthy food in the house.
For time he was at a loss, and then
he thought he knew of a way out of
the difficulty.
Sure enough, the table was spread

Cubby wasn't thin. but beside his
twin sister he looked thin. You see,
in the first place, his twin sister was
a little smaller anyway; and, in the
second place. she was a great deal
fatter. Being smaller. she looked even

Cubby looked at her he sighed. on,

his lower lip. as he thought of all the
sweet acorns. all the sweet beechnuts,
all the wild grapes and all the other
good things that had gone to make
that blanket Of fat underneath the
little black coat of his sister.
Now people who discover that they
are bigger than other people all TOO
often think they can do just as they
please and fail to consider the people
who are not as big as they. Cubby's
discovery that he was bigger than his
twin sister led him to believe that he
also was stronger. His desire for food
that he might grow fat led him to for.

Editorial Comment
Reporting Crime
Dorchester Democrat and ChrOnicle)


Current discussion Of newspaper practices and
ethics takes two views Of the reporting Of crime.
One is that crime should not be reported except in
a routine way; the other is that crime should be
reported decently.
Even the newspapers that flagrantly offend the
canons Of decency by printing at great length and
in detail crime news Of every character, and which
make heroes of criminals by publishing interviews
with them and by referring to them by nicknames
intended to capture the mawksh sympathy of the
unthinking, do not justify their practice by any
recognized newspaper standards. They admit that
they catering to the low appettes Of the multi
tude.
The reputable and responsible newspaper cannot
ignore crime, however, if it is to do it's duty of re-
fleeing society to its readers. 1t is right and i'm
portant that the facts of crime should be pub
lished, that the important facts of criminal trials
be decenty reported and that the punishment Of
crime should be described 1t can be done, however,
without offending the of decency Of any read
err; without making hero of the criminal. or, on
the other hand, denying him the basic consideration
of English and American law that he be considered
innocent until he is proved guilty
1t is this kind of crime reporting that is required
by the Associated Press and that is aimed at by this
and other newspapers that have desire to meet
their full public responsibility.

splendor, in the center of city
