Siqnificance in Names

In an Illinois town workingman
having been informed that sixth
baby had arrived at his home, ex
claimed: Sufficient" and his neigh,
bors, referring to his having given
that name-Sufficient-to the new
arrival, credited him with originality.
The incident resembles case nearer
home, adds the New York Tribune.
A New York family was blessed with
nine daughters, when the stork
brought a tenth one. 1t was in the
days when the slang term for an Oft
told story was a Chestnut" and as
the baby certainly came under that
head, she received the name, but for
suphony's sake the French for the
word was employed, and she was
called Marion.

Giant Louisiana Corn
Shovn at Chicago.

inch tall, grown in Louisiana, size
never achieved in any other locality,
was displayed at the United States
Land and Irrigation Exposition at the
Coliseum. The men who are boosting

piled the display. The giant stalk of
corn stands right out where every
body can see it, and it attracted more
OF the vast throngs of land show
visitors than any other state exhibit.
Once attracted by the corn, the peo-
pie are held by the eloquence of the
representatives of the Alexandria
Progressive League, who are here to
boost the interests Of the commercial
clubs of Alexandria and, Monroe,
which jointly have undertaken to
show what Louisiana can do for crops.
This corn was planted June 10,
1910, after crop of Irish potatoes
had been raised on the same land,
and the same tract is now yielding

gentlemen representing Louisiana,
in telling about the corn. 1--WE raise

December will be Louisiana day,
and Governor J. Y. Sanders will be
the guest of honor of the Land Show.
A special program will be arranged
to boom Louisiana on that day.

Williamson slapped Bowman two or
three times and cursed him, where
