ell was unable to remember the name
of one OF his own children. After
half dozen names had been suggest
ed by the affable clerk in the enroll
ing department, Powell thought Of
the right one. This child bore the
name Of its father. and Powell had
forgotten his own name. The fact
that he has fifteen children and only
one wife is a favorable excuse for his
temporary absent mindedness. This
incident will remind one OF Col. Phil
Clabanen OF Texas. who, when asked
his name studied minute and said
Il forgot, but IL my wife was hero

him worth practically $4,000 and the
forgotten child, who bears his fathers
