Along comes Lord Hertford to say that John Hudson did not die in 1786, but merely deserted his ship, returned to London where he died in 1791. Thus the descendants of the Seymour-Hudson union were bastards. Unfortunately for Hertford, he could not prove his story and the Committee accordingly allowed the claim of General Seymour, who became 16th Duke of Somerset; the first was Lord Protector of England during the minority of his nephew, Edward...
...keep the five rings spinning. Once there were seven Ringlings ringing; five are dead. John and Charles now run the business. In the old days, John was a clown, appeared twice daily under the big top, sang, with extraordinary results, a ditty entitled Root, Hog, or Die.

But could the Big Red Team triumph again without its oh so human mascot to guide...
...seems incredible to believe that at this late date, seven years after the Armistice, students in a business college in the heart of Boston should still be obliged to undergo compulsory military training. The matter is not one of pacifism or militarism now, despite the opinions of old die-hards". The point at issue is the right to shake off military requirements now that their raison d'etre has disappeared. And the right to assort this truism has been seriously infringed...
