First tells of haughty cavalier, 
Who beareth well the bandolier, 
The Spanish heights among.

Who boasts the Spanish tongue. 
Y T et who, with crafty tongue, will deign 
To honor, with its use, the plain 
Untitled foreign rover; 
Then tries his sympathy to gain 
By tales of woe—a harrowing train— 
Until a sense of guilt sleals over. 
Over the stranger’s heart, to think he hist 
Alone that morn and broke his fast 
With viands rich and rare. 
While this poor beggar starved so near, 
The whole the stranger will, with cheer, 
The beggar better fare.

Dan Shannon: We suppose the February puzzles 
were a little more intricate than usual, or we should 
have a much larger list of solvers to give. We had 
someverycurioussolutionstoNo.il- One thought 
it was “Piety cannot move a soul in agony;” while 
another seemed to think it might be: “Hints cannot 
move a fool in a game,” Even if those answers were 
incorrect, it showed that the guessers worked on the 
puzzle and they have the satisfaction of knowing 
that no one sent in a correct answer.— D. A. Y. Ton: 
Many thanks for paper you sent. Sorry we cannot 
comply with your request; but having six depart¬ 
ments to attend to, and contributing to a dozen more 
gives us all the puzzle work we can attend to. A 
great many good friends have to be refused.— Zeni:
