Later authors, however, repudiated this popular tradition of a silly freak or pun of James I or Charles II, as of no etymological value, ar.d agree that sirloin, which appears in Dr. Johnson's dictionary for the first time with this orthography, is derived from the French surlor.ge, that is, upper loin." In the old English dictionaries the English word was spelled surloin. Skeats' Etymological Dictionary the word thus: Sirloin, an inferior spelling of surloin. It adds that the word is "frequently spelled sirloin, owing to a fable that the loin of beef was knighted by one cf our kings in a lit of good humor."

Weep and you weep alone," are lines from Solitude, a poem written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. It was first printed in the New York Sun on February 23,. 1383. Authorship for the poem was also claimed by Col. John A. Joyce, who had the quotation inscribed on his tombstone in Oak Hill cemetery, Washington, D. C., before his death in 1915. And occasionally echoea of the controversy arc still heard, but there is that Mrs. Wilcox was the author, says a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
