young man, who later had oc
casion to give his name to the polic
as Joseph Smith and his address al
Baltimore, had pleasant time yester
day at the expense of the entire Mas
sachusetts delegation. He visited thu
capitol and called out Representativ,
John r. Thayer, TO whom he said thai
he came from Douglas Mass. and was
stranded in Washington. Mr.. Thayei
was born in Douglas. Smith told him
all about the corner grocer and the
local churches, and eyinced such ia
miliarity with Douglas that Mr.. Thay-
err begged him TO accept the loan of SIS
A few minutes later the man from
! Douglas, with several boon compan-
ions, was using up Mr.. Thayer's IS in a
nearby dispensary. When the money
was gone, he returned to the capitol
and called out Butler Ames, to whom
he said he was a citizen of Lowell
That was where Mr.. Ames was born
He evinced such familiarity with Low
ell conditions that Mr.. Ames pressed
a 50 bill upon him. Smith reluctantly
accepted, and in few minutes was
back at the alcohol emporium, where
he was welcomed with plaudits by his
comrades.
His next descent was upon S. w.
ford, and what he did not know about
Medford Mr.. Mccall was unable to tell
him. Mr.. McCalls IS bill lasted Smith
about an hour, and at the expiration of
that time A. p. Gardner was called out
to greet constituent from Gloucester.
In this manner Smith went through
the House delegation
Then he went over to the Senate and
called out Senator H. C. Lodge. But
by this time the contributions of the
Bay state solons had worn out even
his storage capacity, and his manner
was not one to invite confidence.
Senator he said, attempting to place
his hand on one of the pillars of the
marble room and missing it, Il am a

will have his front name spelled out
In full.
This is one Of T. 3. Dewey's ideas.
1t would be more proper to say That
this is one Of Thomas Emmett Dewey's
ideas. Mr.. Dewey, In his business Of
supreme court reporter, observes a
good many interesting details about
things which the ordinary person
would stumble over all his life and
never detect. Mr.. Dewey says:
ave are going to use; the first
names Of all the judges and court Of
ficers so that the work will be sym
metrical in this respect. 10 the past
some OF the names have been printed
in full and some nothing but the In
itials. 1t doesn't look we'll,
Courts have decided that initials
do not constitute q name; that initials
are merely symbols, and that name
must be q name. In case OF felony,
the papers must be drawn 10 show
the full name Of the defendant. You
never heard Of a murder case 10 which
the defendants first name did not aP>
pear in the information. Consequent.
ly it is fitting that in report Of court
proceedings we should recognize the
legal status Of name.
"Moreover, it is the social usage to
use the FIRST name. Society demands
something more than the mere initials
OF mans name. The custom is to
use the I II, name"
This new rule Of Mr. Dewey's has
put Del Valentine, clerk Of the gu.
preme court, in a terrible dilemma.
1t has exposed to the world the bare
and naked fact that MI. Valentines
name lie not Del; that as q matter OF
fact, such person as ID A. Valen-
tine" has rather doubtful existence,
SO far as the name is concerned.
'My father and mother" says Mr..
Valentine, sdecided to call me 'Adel-
phus.' That was all the name | start.
