The Genuine vs Counterfeits
The genuine is always better than a
counterfeit but tho truth of this state

more thoroughly appreciated than when
you compare tho genuine DeWitts

are on the market W S Ledbetter of

THE ROUNDROBIN
Ko One Kbowi Origin of the Strange
Term
A round robin is one of those
documents of which the name is fa
miliar to most people but which un
commonly few have ever seen or
signed Hvery one knows that the
thing which bears so singular a name
Is a communication letter remon
strance warning or the like the sig
natures to which are written around
the circumference of the circle which
Incloses the body of the epistle or
radiating therefrom like the spokes of
a wheel from a hub so that the re
sponsibility of signing Is equally
shared No one signatory can be ac
cused of being either the first on the
last to sign of being the leader or the
whlpper In
The most famous example on record
probably Is the remonstrance which
was sent to Dr Johnson in connection
with his epitaph on Oliver Goldsmith
The doctor had prepared an epitaph In
Latin but some of his friends who
had also been friends of Goldsmith
took exception to it on two grounds
the first being that It did not quite do
justice to the author of the Traveler
as a writer and particularly as a poet
and the second that It should be writ
ten in English The party of friends
were gathered around Sir Joshua
Reynolds hospitable if somewhat ill
served table and though they found
themselves in general agreement on
these two points no one had the cour
age to be willing to bell the cat or
in other words to take the lead in
tackling the formidable Johnson on
these two rather delicate matters At
last says Sir William Forbes it was
hinted that there could be no way so
good as that of a round robin as the
sailors call it which they make use
of when they enter a conspiracy so as
not to let it be known who puts his
name first or last to the paper
The idea was at once accepted the
address to Dr Johnson was prepared
and all signed it in the form propbsed
This very interesting paper is still ex
tant and is preserved among other
valuable manuscripts in the library of
in i iiaign nan near wigan tne seat or
the Earl of Crawford It begins We
the circumscribers and the signa
tures written around the circle which
incloses the address include thos of
Gibbon Burke Joseph Warton Sheri
dan Sir Joshua Reynolds George Col
man and half a dozen others which are
nowadays but little known Johnson
took the remonstrance in good part
but as to not writing the epitaph in
Latin declared that he would never
consent to disgrace the walls of West
minster abbey with an English in
scription The whole story is emi
nently characteristic both of Johnson
and his times
No one has yet been able to give a
satisfactory explanation of the strange
term round robin London Globe
Breaking It Gently
This is a true account of one persons
idea of breaking the news gently
The cook whose home was off in the
country appeared before the powers
above with a letter in her hand
Ill have to go home for a couple of
days mum she said My cousins
just written to me And she handed
over the crumpled bit of paper with an
audible sniff
Dear Mary it ran you had bet
ter come home at once Your father is
very sick And it continued with
many particulars of the illness
At the end was a postscript which
like the old joke of a womans r S
had the pith of the matter
So long as youll be driving up from
the village you may as well bring the
undertaker along with you in the wag
on New York Times
Sir Henry Irvines Wit
On one occasion Sir Henry Irvings
company having been called to the
theater for rehearsal found upon their
arrival that they Avere considerably
ahead of time As Sir Henry had not
yet arrived one of the actors in the
company who was noted for his ac
complishments as a mimic proceeded
to give a lively and elaborate imita
tion of Sir nenrys highly character
istic acting As he finished his dem
onstration a well known voice came
from the depths of the darkened au
ditorium
Very good it said very good in
deedso good in fact that there is no

VVIiat Is Known About Fish
Pliny the great naturalist who lived
at about the time of Christ reckoned
the whole number of known species of
fish at ninety four Linnceus the great
Swedish investigator of the eighteenth
century could classify 478 and he is
known to have been the greatest ich
thyologist of the age in which he lived
The progress made in that particular
branch since the time of Linnaeus
seems all the more wonderful for now
13000 species show up in the cata
logues of the fish specialists
