We're tired of making copies of it, so we reprint it for the third or fourth time. It was last published in 1911, but we count that week an exceptional one wherein no request comes for a copy of it. Apparently it is in popular opinion the funniest thing this magazine has ever printed." Includes a drawing by F. Strothmann.  [BEST, RGTPL]

Read by the author at a "Discovery" dinner at the Hotel Astor in 1905, it has been three times reprinted -- in 1908, '11, '18 -- because of reader request for copies. For our birthday we print it for the fifth time."  [RGTPL]
