WHAT'S IN A NAME7
Two Men Who Suffer From Pun Provok-
Ing Cognomens.

Two Mon Who Suffer From Pun Provok-
ing Cognomens.
There are three sensitive men in town
whom n great many people know. Two
of them have names that delight the
punster. Tho other ones name is not pe-
culiar. He is mentioned with tho other
two because no has a spasm every time
anybody calls him out Of his name, which
is Whitfield.
1t is on the same point that Mr.. Onyon
and Mr.. Coffee arc touohy. These three
gentlemen do not know each other, but
each has had the same experience, and on
similar matters each has tho same bent of
mind
Mr.. Coffee says that ever since he can
remember some smart aleck at his table
in n boarding house or hotel has laughed
heartily mt this alleged wittioism:
"Mr. Coffee, are you fond of teap'
1t is n joke that makes Mr.. Coffee tear
his hair. He says he never gets into q
boarding house or out of it without hay
ing it sprung on him. If it is not found
i'll that form, it comes this way:
"Do you take coffee?''
In countless other ways Mr.. Coffee hears
chestnuts roasted rs brown as tho coffee
bean on his namo every hour of his life.
During tho rage for punning few years
ago, when some people really thought it
witty, MIR. Coffee was nearly driven to
suicide. AS it is, no acknowledged that
his temper has been ruined, and that n
large portion of humanity fills him with
disgust.
NIr. Onyon refuses to take any jests
about his name calmly He usually cuts
pleasantrios by telling the man who asks
him If no likes them, or says something
about their pungency; that he is fool,
and ut such times Mr.. Onyon Is always
ready to fight. Nobody who knows Mr.
Onyon ever ventures to take liberties with
his name 1t increases Mr.. Onyon's anger
to reflect that his fathers name was Dc
La Onyon; that the old gentleman dropped
the "De La'' to be more American, and
that the Americans changed tho pronun-
oiation of tho final word from on-yono to
plain onion.
Whitfield has just boycottcd well
meaning but, as Mr.. Whitfield says,
wholly brainless man, who first addressed
him as Whitlock, next as Warlock and
finally wrote him letter which was actll-
ally addressed to Mr.. Warpath.
These three cases typify class of men
whose names arc n constant source Of irri-
tation to them, and, rs for their torment
ors, they gro of class that bores every
