HOBSON'S BICYCLE.
With regard to determination and
physical endurance in fact in all
around ability to do or die in whatever
| he undertook, a friend tells this story:
| While in Brooklyn less than two years
ago he lived at the Bachelor club at
| the navy yard. Hearing at the time
of the opening of a large department
house and of their intended sale of 800
wheels for $40. ne decided to go to the
sale. His friends said. 'Hobson, you
will have your trouble for your pains;
'it is a sell" You will be joStled by
the rabble, and you will get no wheel"
| Regardless of all this, without heed for
ridicule, he went to New York, reach
ing there about o'clock the night pre-
vious to the sale. He took up his posi-
ton next to the DOORS Gradually the
crowd grew to a perfect mob, the his
tory of which has been told by the
papers, still Hobson maintained his
position, which was nothing easy, as he
was wedged in between the doors and
the crowd.
This, however, he endured until s
o'clock the next morning. when the
doors were opened. The impetus caused
by the crowd sent him upon a run into
the store, where, Immediately seizing a
wheel, ne thrust a $40 bill into the
hands of the clerk and said: Here is
your $40; want this wheel" The man
refused, saying: I'VE Will send it to
you later" mo you don't" cries Hob
son, and thrusting the bill into the
mans hands he turned and fought his
way, wheel and all, through the mob,
that by this time had become unman-
ageable.
Upon reaching the outskirts Of the
crowd, his clothing was. nearly torn
from him. Needless of this. after hav-
ing stood the entire night, and now
without breakfast and generally
wreck. ne mounted his Wheel. proud as
Apollo upon Pegasus, and rode home TO
the BOYS at the Bachelor club, reaching
there about II o'clock, the hero of the
sale. and the admiration of all his
friends.
During his stay in Brooklyn Lieuten-
ant Hobson made many warm friends.
A large number, owing to his social
The opinion among them is that. while
fond of looking well and being thor

generation. still he is neither beau nor

A call from him was not to be for
gotten. for he was a most interesting
talker. and not. as are many OF our
army and navy heroes, a silent man.
On the contrary, always sustaining his
part in the conversation with credit 10
himself He is very fond of music, and
while not himself possessing musical
ability, he greatly enjoys blending his
voice with others in college songs, etc
So far as has been revealed by Lieu
tenant Hobson himself, he is as yet the
friend of all women. but the lover of

mother to whom he is very devoted,
and whom his friends frequently call
his first and only love. Be that as it
may. 'Hobson's choice" in this direc-
