The Phrase "Jack Robinson"

The use of the phrase Jack Robin
son" originated in the British house of
parliament during the debates on what
was known as the Indian bilI' and
when John Robinson was first lord of
the treasury. Sheridan was the man
who first used the phrase. 1t came
about in this manner: Sheridan was
speaking concerning FOx's waning
chances. when he said: "Mr. Speaker,
this state of affairs is not to be won
dered at. When a member of this au-
gust body is employed to corrupt every
body. what else could be eXpectedY
Instantly there was great cry of
"Name himy' "Name him" "Who is
it?" "Sirs." said Sheridan, Il shall not
name the person; it is a most unpleas-
ant thing to do But don't suppose that
| abstain because there is any difficult
ty in naming him. l could do so, sirs,
as quick as you could say Jack Robin
SON."
They naturally inferred from his re-
marks that Jack or John Robinson was
the person whom he alluded to-

The
new YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read Wherever the English Language
is spoken.

The Thrice-a-Week World was a brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of APP
proval on the Thrice-a-Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1903, will make
its news service, if possible, more exten-
sive than ever. All events of Importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar a year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish ~ Eve or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a-Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction.
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a-W Week Worlds regular sub
scriptiOn price is only $1.00 per year and
this pays for 1876 papers. We offer this un-
equaled newspaper and THE SMYRNA TIMES
together one year for $1.75. The regular
Inscription price of the two papers is $500.

The Impertinent waiter.

He entered drug emporium and
said to the clerk in a vigorous tone,
without trace of shame or diffidence:
"Give me a bottle of the best hair re-
storer you've got"
The clerk looked at him with some
astonishment.
Interpreting his look, the customer
said:
"Yes, it's for myself, and I'm not
ashamed to say so. either. For years
I've laughed at the references made to
my hairless poll. | considered it

1t wasn't many days before the lord
was back again, and master fortunate

he entered the shop of a dealer to dis

before l had opportunity to speak to
| the captain. Then | said:
Il beg pardon sir, but may l ask if
! Lord Dale is off in his head?'
why do you ask?' he queried in
reply.
Because the property he carried
away from these rooms yesterday can
lie found at - Regent street. Perhaps
the other missing article is there too. -
Master made no reply whatever. But
an hour later he strolled down to the
dealers, found all his missing proper
ty and brought it back. When he came
home, he put the bundle into my hands
and said:
ayes, Stevens, Lord Dale is slightly
off, but the matter is confidential and
must go no further. You had best lock
the cabinets after this and put the
keys in your pocket"
That was all-all until Lord Dale
with the mania of plumber in his soul
called again. Master had slipped Ou

Lord Dale led this crowd. When sober,

cups, he was a thorough vulgarian and
would as soon carOuse with a cabman
as to drink with a gentleman. He had
been introduced by a good friend of
my masters, and, being a lord he was
allowed many liberties over a common

That Lord Dale had made ducks and

morning mail consisted mostly of duns
and threats, and writ servers were aft

Those things did not affect his general
reputation, however. As a blue blood
lord may do many things that would
bring disgrace upon a tradesman.
OF all the callers at our rooms no one
except Lord Dale would insist upon
entering when informed that the cap
tain was out. Sometimes he would
find the captain at home, but engaged
