A fairly satisfactory version of the
origin Of the word "hobo," SO much
used in describing members of the in
dustral army, says it is of New York
origin and corruption of Hoboken.
"Hoboken," says this tramp philos-
opher, fused to be an extremely tough
locality, and IN some parts it is still
very tough. When man in New York
wanted to express an extremely un-
complimentary opinion Of a thing or
place he would say it was tough as
Hoboken. If he had been out all night
and felt very shaky he would say that
he felt very Hoboken. The term spread
over New York and over the country.

quire so much effort as would Hobo.
kenites." This is the origin of the
term, and in the strict sense of the
word the men of the Commonwesl are
not 'hobos.'
