MILLION FAMILY NAMED IN
NUMERALS.

In a long experience in the Treasury
Department ! have come across very
large number Of names, many Of which
are rather peculiar" explained an old
official 20 n Washington Star reporter,
but / think the list Of names in con-
nection with the subscription to the
8 per cent bonds surpasses anything in
the way OF PECULIARLY that have ever
observed.
"Of these the one that struck me most
was man who signed himself Ten
Million and who resides out in oregon.
We thought the name was an imagin-
alive one and wrote the man that it
was desired that bonds should be re-
gstered in the real names only, and
that no further attention would be paid
TO his subscription until he was heard
from. His letter was written on the
printed letter head of the firm Of Nil.
lion a Million, two brothers. Then
followed an explanation that his father
ana mother were unable 10 select names
for their children that were mutually
satisfactory and that, as result
though they had had ten children, none
OF them We're ever christened formally.
The FIRST child was a girl and was
known as one Million. The second child.
also a girl, was known as Two Million
Thus they run along, until Ten Million
was reached, and he was the writer Of
the letter the other member OF the firm
being brother whose only name as far
as the family was concerned was Seven
Million, the seventh child. He added
that one Million had afterWard called
herself Una Million, that the third giIl
was known after she had grown up as
Trio Million, The others had taken on
additions 10 their names and he had
adopted the name Of TENTS Million. but
his real name was Ten Million and
nothing else, The bonds were issued 10
him. aud today stand on the books OF
the Ircasuary Department registered
IN the name OF Ten Milton.
