"UacIe.,
The familiar slang term uncle" ap-
piled to a pawnbroker, is nothing but
a poor pun on the Latin word 'uncus,"
a hook. awnbrokers use the hook to
lift paWned articles to the upper
shelves before spouts were adopted.
Gone to the .-uncus" is exactly the
equivalent of the modern phrase, up
the spout" The French phrase, used
in the same connection, "a ma aunt e
does not mean TO my aunts," but Ito
"argto" being the most reproachful
term that can be applied to a man. In
French the concierge de prison" is
called uncle" because the prisoners
are kept in pawn" by the government.
I'm the SOup.~
This expression of slang was born at
a game of baseball between New York
and Chicago in June, 1883. at the Polo
81 oundS in New York. The members
Of the Chicago team made themselves
conspicuous by marching over the field
before the game in dress suits, and
had consequently been dubbed wait
ers" by the bleachers crowd. The game
was a disastrous one for the visiting
team. They suffered defeat by the ig-
nOminous score of 10 to ?. At its close
an enthusiastic rooter yelled. The
walters have fallen in the SOUP" This
took the fancy of the excited crowd
and was shouted all over the grounds.
The newspapers repeated it in the ac-
counts of the game and the theaters
promptly took it up.
The boss" is peculiarly an Ameri-
can institution, but his name is simply
the Dutch baas, meaning uncle. cousin
or kinsman in general. Then because
the master of the house might be re-
garded as the principal kinsman of its
inmates, the word came to be used of
him; from which to meaning the mas
Ter or foreman of workman or an au-
thority of any kind the transition is
simple DE Yrouew is de baas' is a

Feather in Ones Cap.s

The Birth OF By-WOrds By Madison c Peter.

-HE first man in England to keep
a stable of hack horses for hire
l. was named Tobias Hobson. From
him originated the phrase 'Hobson's
Choice"
His methods of doing business were
strictly impartial. He strongly objected
to one customer having an advantage
over another. In accordance with his
peculiar sense of justice, therefore, his
stable rules were such that when a
man came to hire a horse he was
obliged to take the nearest one to the
door, and naturally the style of ami
nal he got depended entirely on chance.
This unusual procedure attracted at
tentlon, so that when man was
obliged to accept something when he
should have had his selection, he wezId
say it was "HObson's Choice"
"Let Her Go, Gallagher.
Judge Beaver. of Morgan county,
KY, had trotting mare of whom he
was very proud. The animal was al
ways driven at the race meets by a
man named Gallagher, who was at that
time city marshal of Harrodsburg On
one occasion the judge entered his
mare at a trotting meeting in Upton
county. Some sports there, knowing
of the judges pride in the animal,
thought they would lower his colors
for once, so they entered against her a
noted fast trotter.
two trotters passed under the wire neck

grew wildly excited

he shouted And Gallagher. hearing,
