Looking forward.


1t is glorious possibility that any
American boy may some day become
president, but, according to a story
told by Senator Bailey, it sometimes
causes fond parents some concern.
One of his constituents was the proud
father of promising youngster, and
on several occasions sought the sena-
tors advice as to Christian name,
each time expressing himself delight
ed with the one suggested. One of the
Texans greatest charms is his kindly
interest in the personal affairs of
humble friends, and it was quite like
him, upon seeing the father in ques.
ton some months later, to inquire If
his son and heir had finally received
satisfactory pseudonym.
"Well, no senator" the man re-
piled: 1--WE haven't been able to de-
eide on one yet"
What's the trouble, anyway" Mr..
Bailey asked with considerable secret
amusement There are a great many
to choose from"
Yes, that's true" the father said
rumpling his hair; "but we wanted to
hit on particularly good name for
him, one that is pretty and has dis
tinguished sound, and which is not
common, as there will be SO many
babies named after him when he is
president. = Worlds Events Maya
