"Jack Robinson"

Few people who use the phrase
are aware that Jack Robinson" was
a real person.
AS a politician John Robinson was
a great favorite with George III
His political career was a long one,
for he was a member OF Parliament
from Harwlch during 90 years, be-
ing on one occasion bitterly attacked
by Sheridan, who, denouncing brib-
cry and it's instigators,. replied to
the cries OF Name, name!" by
pointing to Robinson on the Treasury
bench, exclaiming at the same time:
Yes, could name him as soon
as could say Jack Robinsoni" and
thus originated the saying still cur
rent.

Balzac And The Thief

A story of Balzac is related bv a
French contemporary. A burglar
gained admission to Balzac's house
and was soon at work, by the light
OF the moon, at the lock of the
secretaire in the novelist's chamber.
A strident laugh arrested his opera-
lions and he beheld by the moonlight
the novelist sitting up in bed, his
sides aching with laughter.
What is it that makes you mer-
ry?' demanded the burglar.
Il laugh" replied the author of
'Pere Goriot,' Ito think that YOU
