Judge Joceiyn Makes an Endeavor to Get
Rid of an Appeliative.
81 see you've got three Names" said
Judge Jocelyn, of the Washtenaw
(Mich.) circuit court, to a young man
whom he was about to admit to prac-
tice. "Well, 1 used to have three
names myself" he added rehectively.
There's a nice little story about it,
too"
when was little boy" the Judge
went on, ''my name was Isaac-Isaac
Chauncey Joceylin. Now didn't like
that name of Isaac, and the boys kept
calling me key which made it worse.
So when my parents moved away from
the little town where | was born. and it
came time for me to go to the
new school, made up my mind not to
say word about my first name. and to
be plain 'Chauncey Jocelyn' from that
day on.
1.-THE first day in the new school the
teacher told me to stand up, and, the
following conversation took place be-
tween us:
"'What is your name, little boy? he
said.
Chauncey, sir, SAID l.
What is your other name, little
boy?'
Here my resolution came to my
support and | answered boldly, j
haven't any other name, SIR
40, yes, you have he answered.
81 couldn't understand how he knew,
but ! made up my mind that the in
dignity of Ikey' was too much to be
borne, so | entered my denial anew.
with that the good teacher whipped
me and sent me to my seat to think it
over, and at intervals all through the
morning he made me stand up, asked
me what my other name was, and
when told him l had no other name
whipped me some more.
THE matter had grown decidedly
tedious to me long before the time
came for the school to let out" the
Judge went on. "When the boys had
all been sent home except me, and
had stuck to my story through one
more sound trouncing-and that
teacher knew how to whip so that it
couldn't be torgotten-I had just
about made up my mind to succumb.
ION a sudden the teacher blurted
out:
whats your fathers name, little
boy@
"'Mr. Jocelyn,' said |.
"'Well, then your names Jocelyn
too, isn't it?' he inquired.
"'Yes, sir said |. a great light

he attached his bold signature to the
