If ever he holds a public office, it will be tin list upon him by an ad miring constituency. 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. Mem’s Clothing.
