Our impression is that the term is i 'rry old, and that it originally indicated a person of unusual skill and sleight. We have a fragment of an old book, some .100 years old, in which there is a description of an entertainer of some sort. It calls him a "gay Alexander of exceeding smart ness.” Chicago * Soulhtra Great Lako: Early week warm with aomc Mattered shower*; end of week rainy.
