Lord Rutherford. until recently Sir Ernest Ruther-

He Was a HObO-Once

The Arkansas diamonds spell out JEFF Davis"
Mr.. Davis always introduces himself JEFF Davis,
king of the hoboes" but he is a hearSay or theo-
retical hobo. He may have ridden a boxcar or
mooched sandwich at a back-stoop some time
way back yonder but if so he soon elected himself
king and went emeritus
Mr. Davis is of those scholars He is long
word man and rOugh-and- tumble philoOgst and
enjoys to explain that the word "hobO" is really
title of merit, derived from the Latin homo" and
bonus"
You take the first two letters of hobo meaning
man and the first two letters of bonus meaning
good and you get the word hobo good man."
MIR. Davis says.
1t is difficult for Mr.. Davis to muster enough
subjects to make up much a hobo quartet for
the singing of hobo songs (Which hOboS never Sng)
because the genuine DO does not recognize himself

that of the lawyer who regards the other fellow as
