Origin of "Hobson's Choice"

1T is. a Ease Of Hobson's choice is
a phrase that is used by many people
without knowing exactly what II
means, says a writer in the Strand
Magazine. AS q matter Of fact, this
adage has been haded down to US from
the 18th century and had its origin in
the eccentricities Of one Tobias Hob
SON. Fiji worthy was a carrier of
Cambridge. who died In the year Of
1880. In addition to his ordinary BUSH
ness he kept a stable and let out horses
to the students at the university. He
made 1t an unalterable rule, however.
that each animal should have an equal
period OF work and rest, and would
never let n out Of it's turn. Conse-
Guently, instead Of being allowed to
select the steed they most fancied, his
customers a to take the one that
stood mex to the door. II It did not
meet with their approval they had to
do without a ride. Hence, the pro-
verbal expression, "Hobson's Choice"
used to signify a choice without an al.
tentative.

 Full state tickets, including govern ors, are to be chosen in 2S states. Indiana will elect state officers with the exception of governor Arkansas and Georgia have chosen their state tickets, but will vote for congressmep November 8.

 In the same way, Maryland, Missis- sippi, Virginia and West Virginia, which have no state officials to elect, will turn all their energies on their representatives in congress and in West Virginia on the legislature as well. Alabama, Maryland and Vermont have already selected their senators.

Weather.Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 1S, 1910. =
Until Saturday the weather was cool
and generally cloudy with frequent and
fairly we'll distributed showers. The
rainfall exceeded two inches over most
of the central and south central coun-
ties, and in some localities the rain for
the week was the heaviest since May.
Corn has made good progress toward
maturity notwithstanding the cool,
cloudy weather, and from 65 to 70 per
cent of the crop is safe from injury by
an ordinary heavy frost. Much of it
would, however, be damaged by severe
freezing weather. Considerable seed
corn has been picked and much more
than the usual amount of corn is being
cut for fodder and silage, to offset the
shortage of the hay crop, especially in
the northeast counties. Late potatoes
continue to improve and while the crop
will be much below the average in
yield, the quality will be good. Fall
blowing and seeding winter grains are
progressing rapidly under favorable
conditions. The acreage of winter
wheat will be increased materially.
The week closes with much higher tenn
perature and the weather chart indi-
Gates good ripening weather for several
DAYS at least.
