It rco!.y doesn't matter whether

venture the assertion that he will
never again aspire to any office
within tne gift of the people. If
ever he holds a public office, it

What Does “O. K.” Mean?
Mr, Watson, :n his October
Magazine, injects an interesting
point into his history of Andrew
Jackson. He states that a deed
given to Jack-on at the November
term of the county court at Jones
boro, Tenn., in 1788, was indorsed
‘Ordered to Be Recorded’’ This
was indicated upon legal docu
ments in those days, bv the clerk’s
memorandum "O. R.” With that
proueness to error, w lich is one < f
the most interesting $nri attractive
features in human nature, the let
ters of the clerk’s memorandum
were taken to he “O K..’’ and the
stubborn pertinacity and success
with which the senseless "O K.”
has held its ground against the
lucid and righteous “O. R.,” dem
onstrates how ridiculous a figure
the truth can some times cut in a
contest with a falsehood which got
the running start.
In the Literary Digest ot Sep
tember 22 id, the editor is asked
for the origin of "O. K.” The
Lexicographers’ “Easy Chair” an
swers that the origin is uncertain.
Its meaning is “all correct," and it
has been claimed that the abbre
viation was first used by President
Andrew Jackson, as a humorous
spelling phrase spelling "Oil
Kerrect."
These two authorities differ.
Mr. Watson seems to have the call
in reasonableness, since many p<-o-
pie make a capital R as they would
make a K. Both autnorities agree
in referring the matter to Andrew
Jackson.—Savannah Press.
