"Hobson's Choice"

The expression "Hobson's Choice"
means no alternative this or nothing.
When driven to single course of ac-
ton we say that we are reduced to
"Hobson's choice" says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Richard Steele, in the
Spectator" No. 500, is the most en-
inent authority for the explanation
given in most collections Of proverbs
and quotations. "Tobias Hobson was
the first man In England that let out
hackney horses" says Steele. "When
man came for horse he was led
into the stable where there was a
great choice, but Hobson obliged him
to take the horse which stood nearest
to the stable door; so that every Gus
toner was served alike, according to
his chance, from whence 1t became a
proverb, when what ought to be your
selection was forced upon you. to say
'Hobson's choice"

THOSE "LAsr WORDS"

There used to be silly fad Of at
tributing to every notable man on
his deathbed some phrase which
was supposed to epitomize his career.

"Hogs sell up to SOTO, best price

for housekeepers that buy sausages.
For some mysterious reason, when
