The Word Anecdote.

Anecdotc, word of Greek origin,
means strictly shat which is not given
OUT In this sense it has been used
to denote secret histories, or portions
of ancient writings which have long
remained in manuscript and are edited
for the first time. OF such anecdota
there are many collections. The earliest
was probably NIurat ori's, in 100, fol
lowed by Ihcsaurus Novus Anecdo-
forum. 1T1T, and Thesaurus Anecdo-
forum NovisSimus, 1I21.
In it's popular modern acccptation the
word is used of the relation of some
single interesting and authentic Incl
dent in private life OF such there are
voluminous collections. such as The
Percy Anecdotes" compiled by Clinton
Robinson and Bycrley, in 1920.
Dr.. Johnson said that collectors are
rot always so happy as to select the
most important anecdotes and that he

While descending steep hill rapidly, he applied the breaks suddenly and was thrown to the ground apparently without injury. Upon rising he was in the act of mounting the wagon when the mules started off, and he was thrown against the tongue, his head striking with such force that he sustained a slight frac- ture of the skull. He was also hit by the hoof of one of the mules and the front wheel Of the wagon struck tho side of his face, breaking his jaw bone MT Wallace was brought on the wagon to the home of J. A.
