SSracen's Head Tavern.


 The Saracen's Head. Snow Hill. now closed. reached back to respectable antiquity In Dick Tarlton's JeSts'' t is referred to aS "the Saracen's Head without Newgate. and Stow calls it "a fair and large inn for re- ceipt of travellers" which hath te sign the SaraZen's Head" It's pre- eminent interest. however, is natural ly Dickensian, and the novelist has given a vivid description of the old inn as 1t was when Nicholas Nickleby and his uncle interviewed there the master of Dotheboys Hall. There are various accounts of the origin of the sign of the Saracen's Head. One is that it was set up as compliment to the mother of Thomas q Beckett. who was the daughter of Saracen. In Selden's '.;lble Talk we read. When our countrymen came home from fighting with the Saracens they pictured them with huge. big, terrible faces, as you still see the sig,s of the Saracen's Head is."-Londo:- Chronicle.

would not write tif;s letter ecs s::::y
other reason than as stated before:
that very few people know John S.
Reed, and some might imagine that he
really did amount to something, and
might put some credence in what he
says: while personally, think it would
be less trouble to hand him $40 bill
and have him make an affidavit that he
did not know what he was talking about
when he wrote the article mentioned
for publication. or that it was all lie.
Then again, am afraid the affidavit 30
made would get into the hands of few
people who know John S. Reed. and
there / might be up against real prop
osition, because many people who really
know him would not believe him under
oath, and might insist that when he
made the affidavit there must have been
an African somewhere about the wood
pile:
And further, / don't blame him for
helping to bring up some opposition to
States Attorney Martens and myself,
because that is part of his stock in
trade, and where there is no fight, John
S. Reed and few more of the same
stamp could not get chance to sell
their imaginary influence and get paid
for doing the dirty work referred to.
l do however want to give him credit
for one thing, to-wit: that as persist
ent, consistent. monumental falsifyer.
and complete success as scoundre},
he is entitled to all that is coming to
him in the hereafter, and little bit
more.
