Hobson's Choice.

The phrase of "Hobson's Choice" or
iginated in an English livery stable.
Tobias Hobson was the first man in
England to rent out hackney horses.
1t may have been through an un-
shakable sense of Justice, it may have
been through laziness, but at all ev-
ents this eccentric stable keeper OBJ
liged all who applied to him to rent
horse to take the one which hap
pened to be standing nearest the sta
bic door, And so the phrase Hob
sons choice came to mean no choice
at all.

plenty of wheat this year. and even
if the price should sag the farmers

ii was year ago, and the condition

The winter wheat condition is much

Here are some of the things which

This law will mean the turning over
of the treasury of the United States
to the gamblers of the New York stocl

the fact that there would be no other
woman there was his reason for going
at all. Probably Mrs. Drakin would
insist that he come again and would
promise him an Introduction to some
friend of hers who would be just the
one he should marry.
Hubbard was used to that
Bessie Grandin's enthusiastic efforts
to marry him to a cousin of hers had
sent him scurrying off to South Amer
lea. He had announced that he would
write 4 book ON the fora of the Argen-
tine Republic, but his real reason for
fight was the fear that Mrs. Grandin
would make good her threat to marry
him to Helen Wilson in spite of him
self.
: For years Hubbard had lived in fear
of marriage. He was not exactly a
woman hater. but an excess of timidity
left him st;immering and afraid in fem
mime presence, and he had come to
have a mortal dread of matrimony-sG
great a dread that more than once he
had fed from some enthusiastic match
maker lest he be led. protesting, but
helpless. to the altar.
But he was just back from the South
American trip and hungry for the com.
panionship of his fellows. In that
frame of mind he had run across ORA
kin. who had once been the geologisi
of an expedition of which he himself
had been botanist.
They had had lunch together, and
Drakin had urged him to spend the
