NAMING THE BABY.

An incident of keen pleasure in married
life, especially IN young married life, is
the naming Of the baby, Every mother
knows absolutely, in her heart of hearts
that her baby with squirming. chubby
pink limbs, cherub cheeks and blinking
blue eyes, Is re pittiest, cutest, feetest
little tootsy-wootsy in re whole
woild, so It is!' and she feels
It incumbent upon her to give
1t the prettiest, cutest, sweetest little
name that can be found in the language;
often to the intense disgust of the child
In after years. The enraptured and rap
turous mother apparently forgets all about
the mutations of time. She does not keep
in mind the fact that the little pink con-
lection will grow older with each day of
it's life, and that with good luck 1t will
one day be tottering about in the age of

of maturity and old age, how many must

who Is handicapped with a dollbaby name!
It appears that the parental duty of Civ
ing children names that they will not be
ashamed of when they grow up, or that
would not make them the butt of jokers
In old age-names that will wear life
time and do good service all the while
is more disregarded in the case of girls
than of boys. We have received the an
nual report of the public schools of an inn
portant Southern city. A glance at the
roster of teachers and pupils shows that
among the masculine names such good,
old-fashioned, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wide
names as John, William, Rufus. Joel
George Uriah, James, Richard,
etc, predominant by very
nine list! 1t induces a desire to blow the
froth off as the first preliminary to It's
discussion. More than three-fourth of all
the girls in the schools as pupils and wo-
men in them as teachers enjoy 60 such
names as Marie, Mae, Pearl, Bertha, Stel-
la, Mamie, Maud, Bertie, Gussie, Ruby,
Bessie, Hattie, Susie, and an inflnitude of
other "le" names. The Marys Sarahs,
Harriets Elizabeths and Emilys are in a
mighty small minority. Yet all are grow
old quite as gracefully as Miss Mary"
but good sense opposes the suggestion that
miss Ruby at eighty years could wear
her name as gracefully as Miss Mary
at the same age. Imagine the 2OO-pound
mother of thirteen children, at fifty. called

Col. Gamblers Right to "Cuss."


Judge Allen D. Gambler, the new Demo-
cratic Governor-elect OF Georgia, looks
like the typical Norman elder of carica-
ture. He has a square, rough-hewn face,
with long, close-shaven upper lip and
a grizzled beard. trimmed a al eocoanut.
A slight visual defect has given him the
popular nickname of "the One-Eyed Plow
Boy of Pigeon Roost," and the title,
which was originally bestowed In derision,
has proven a very effective campaign slo-
gan among the horny-handed Georgia
farmers I n spite of his sepulchural ap-
pearance, says the New Orleans Picayune,
Judge Gambler has an unlimited fund of
dry humor, and one of the principle
points urged against him in previous con-
gressional campaigns has been that he
was addicted to 'cussing." He met the
charge on one occasion in a manner that
completely knocked out his antagonist.
1t was at a joint debate in a North
Georgia hamlet and the whole country
side had turned out TO umpire the con-
test my distinguished opponent says 1
cuss," began the old Judge bluntly, when
1t came his turn to speak. well, I'm
sorry, for I reckon he's about correct.
But my friends, at the time l did this
cussing my distinguished opponent was
studying law in a fine Office in town, all
cool and comfortable, while I was follow
ing mule around 10-acre cotton patch.
Now, l claim that any man that can plow
with a Georgia mule and not cuss just
little is too good to live on earth and
amt got enough blood in him to feed
mosquito" Here a roar of approval in
terrupted his remarks, and his distin-
guished opponent retired crestfallen from
tha Scene.

T Spain will not get out of Cuba as quickly
as 1t was at first thought she would, nor
as quickly as the United States first de-
manded that she should. The time at
which complete evacuation shall have
been completed has been extended. This,
however, is not by way of a concession
10 Spain, but IS in the nature Of recogniz-
ing an insuperahle obstacle in the way
of Spain's compliance with our demands.
our enemy is not expected to do lmpos-
sible things and it is a matter of physical
impossibility for her TO get her troops out
OF Cuba by Dec !. She hasn't a sufficient
number Of ships az her disposal to make
the transfer, and she cannot get others.
II will he recalled that it took the United
States, with practically unlimited facili-
ties, a considerable time to get started
the movement of ToraTs troops from the
Santiago district; and, as a matter Of
fact, the deportation of them has not yet
been completed. Notwithstanding the
agreement was entered into early in July

There is one instance and only one, on

whose naval prowess Herodotus told such
wonderful stories of a woman who has
fought on board a man-of-war. She was

Rapids Democrat, and piled the trade of
a bumboat woman. 1t was during the

noticed to his great establishment, that a

doing it well. The fight was too severe
to interfere at the moment 80 the story
goes. and in spite of the fragrant breach
of discipline, the admiral let her alone.
When the enemy had struck his colors
he went to the woman and demanded:

The render Heart OF a nnvnrd.

SIR George Baden-Powell tells this story
about Mr.. Bayard in the London Times:
I'm the autumn of 1886 1 went to Wash
ington, but Immediately before leaving
Lord Iddesleigh formerly Sir Stafford
Northcote), then foreign secretary, sent
for me to his room In the foreign office
and explained he was writing a personal
letter to his dear friend Mr.. Bayard and
would 1 carefully convey it to him. In
Washington, my letters having been duly
sent in to the Secretary of State, on the
morning of Jan. r. by appointment, our
minister Sir Lionel Sackville West, took
me down to the department of state to
introduce me personally. 1t was my first
sight of Mr.. Bayards now well known
features and figure, and as we were usher
ed in that fine face was actually bent in
tears over the desk before him, and all
he could do was to point out, lying on the
top of the personal letter from Lord Iddes-
leigh, the telegram announcing his sud-
den death that morning In Downing street
The tragic scene remains vivid in my
mind. As MIR. Bayard subsequently ex-
planned, In the Washington negotiations
of 1S7O-71, he and Sir Stafford Northcote
had formed a very close and enduring
friendship and right in the midst of perus-
ing this warm personal letter from Lord
IddesieIgh came the chilling telegram of
his death. MIR. Bayard had a large heart
for his friends as well as for all man
kind"

A grim and ghostly band,
In tattered uniforms of white
The gaunt battalion stands.

AS in review they pass me by
The Bills 1 Cannot Pay.
In daytime, when 1 walk abroad,
And seemingly alone,
They form in unseen companies,
To other eyes unknown.
But l can hear their measured tread
Behind me all the way
This faithful bodyguard Of mine,
The Bills 1 Cannot Pay.
And yet l would not part with them,
If such thing might be,
For many are the stories,
That these statements tell to me.
They whisper tales of credit days,
When all the world was gay
The days when I created them,
These Bills 1 Cannot Pay.
So leave me not, o trusty friends,
Your songs delight my ears;
In hearing them l feel again
The joys of other years.
You bring the old-time pleasures back
In glorious array
And so l bless you, every one,
