TWO MEN NAMED CAIN.

Reading. Pa. Sept. 2S--A clergy
man who has a large congregation in
southern Berks reports that Cain KEN
merer, aged 50, Is now a mental wreck.
Kemmerer not only was named Cain,
but he gave his only son that name
also. So far as is known they are the
only two people in east Pennsylvania
who are named after the slayer of his
brother Abel. The preacher was asked
whether he knew OF any other odd
names Of people in the same region
He replied
There are two other odd names that
always strike me. one Is Ananias and
the other Sapphlra, but the bearers are
not man and wife. We have several
Noahs. one Methuselah and one Pot
iphar. Potiphar Pilgree. think. There
are two Zebedees, one Delilah.a and a num-
ber OF other Biblical names. Not long
ago, couple brought a boy 10 me 10

name OF Judas. | kindly objected 10
this and told them the story OF the be-
trayer OF our Lord. Evidently they djd
not know this. They were charcoal
burners from the backWOOds 4 told
them not 10 give their boy such a name
10 carry with him for al the remainder
OF his days. They finally agreed TO cali
him Joseph, after his father. and was
glad TO go ON with the ceremony.
The people christened Cain we're
simply the victims of fancy Their
parents took lik ng TO the name. and
Withour any regard u the historical
connection fastened the name TO their
offspring the same is true 10 the other
names. Cain. .Kemmerer named his son

sharp and 70 the point. and sounded
well with Kemmerer SO he used IL on
his boy. The old man is German. and
being rough m1untaineer he stopped
me on the highway a few sundays be-
fore the annual communion and got my
promise not To skip or pass him by II he
came 20 the communion table. re-
quired the old man publicly to make his
professions and confessions of his re-
ligious belief and I'm addition the old
man knet and repeated sixteen verses
of German hymns. with the statement
OF the fact that his name Cain did not
indicate any d'srespect for the Bible
