Derivation of Phrases.

Next to Shakespeare, we draw most pro-
fusely from King James version of the
Bible for terse expressions, Proverbs and
Ecclesiastes furnishing the larger proper

Paui's epistles from the New. Milton,
though far behind these two great
sources OF English speech, gives US
more familiar expressions than any
other writer after them. From him
we have learned to speak of "a dim

THE HOBBIES OF CELEBRITIES
Fads by Which Great People Seek Re-
Taxation.

1t has often been said that, notwith-
standing the old adage. Little things
please little minds" most great men have
ridden some strange hobby, and that, az a
rule, the greater the man the more insig-
nifcant his hobby. Doubtless this fact
arises from the need which hard-taxed
brain has of relaxation, though truly
large mind will never oescend to childish
ness, even when at rest.
To take few of the cele brities of the
present time, and assign to each his or
her hobby, we obtain this list:

If one were to prolong this list one
would ind that from photography to pig
breeding, from postoffice reform to fairy
tales there is scarcely hobby common to
the ordinary mortal which does not ind
votary among the notables of the land,
proving that after all the greatest and the
cleverest have a touch of humanity in
their composition.-Spare Moments.

record, and claim that he is the most de-
sirabie man for the place. Ex-Governor
Bulkeley IS a delegate at large from MS
State. He was seen by representative
of the United Press to-day. He said:
Eyes, my people seem to be agreed IN
urging my name for second place on the
ticket and friends from other States have
rendered their support. l am sound
money man and that seems to be what all
Republicans in the East want. l know OF
no other New England State that has

dent, and / think that the New Workers
would support Connecticut man almost
as heartily as one from their own State.
Through my business interests am not
unknown in the West, and since my ar
rival here many delegates have offered to
support me. All of this is, of course, en-
couraging to me and my friends"
John B. Jeffrey, an old-time printer of
Chicago, is pushing Governor Buckley s
campaign with great energy. He declares
that the strength of the entire East will be
thrown for Connectcut's candidate. The

Kinley IS not averse TO having the Con-

Three Delegates Threaten to Boil

Three Delegates Threaten to Bolt
if Not Placated.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 14.-The threats
of bolt in the Massachusetts delegation
this afternoon caused decided sensation
and resulted in the prompt adjournment of
the meeting until tomorrow morning.
Eben S. Draper was elected chairman of
the delegation and E. c. Benton its secre-
tary. Up to this point everything went
smoothly. When, however, George H.
Lymon of Boston was nominated for
member of the National Committee an
emphatic protest was at once forthcom-
ing. mediately following this nomina-
ton N. M. Jefferson, apparently excited,
but with much emphasis, said that if the
effort were made to place Lymon on the
committee Reed could not have the solid
vote of Massachusetts, as in that event
Mckinley would have three votes on the
first ballot. Without attempting to argue
the matter the session was adjourned at
once until tomorrow morning, at which
time, ii is said, Lymon will be elected. as
he has twenty-seven out of the thirty
votes OF the delegation. Senator Lodge
VIII also be elected tomorrow morning as
a member of the committee on resolL-
lions.

At the Planters Hotel, two squares

the Keystone State are requested to record
their names. All these are unmistakable

tonight that under no circumstances
would they consent to rehearing in any
case. Under the rule of the committee
unanimous consent will be required to re-

words emblazoned in letters of gold on the
ramparts of the Republican stronghold.
They appeared first on the Mckinley
badges and on the Autographs which his
campaign committee are scattering broad
cast, like chaff, before the wind.
One of these pictures, which attracts
considerable attention, represents the
major in plug hat and Prince Albert
coat shaking hands with workingman.
The major holds smoking cigar in his
left hand, while his right. that which adj
ministers the society shake to giddy
women reporters, is clasped around that
of the laborer in good old-fashioned
shake.
Oh, what sweet before-election smile
the major wears. AS for the honest labor
ing man, he must be deeply moved, for he
has turned his back on the spectator in
order to hide his emotion. 1t is touch

one a banker, another laborer with a

stand with clasped hands over the major s

air with smoke, and over McKinley's right
shoulder an Ohio farmer working horse
