   ROBBER, n.  A candid man of affairs.
       It is related of Voltaire that one night he and some traveling
   companion lodged at a wayside inn.  The surroundings were suggestive,
   and after supper they agreed to tell robber stories in turn.  "Once
   there was a Farmer-General of the Revenues."  Saying nothing more, he
   was encouraged to continue.  "That," he said, "is the story."
