THE NAMING OF THE BABY
Parents Take Mean Advantage When
They Give Helpless Infant a Bur
6ensome Name.

Not long since it was chronicled
that Des Moines babe had been
christened HALEY Comet because ii
happened to have been born during
the recent astronomical excitement
In another Iowa home fond, but mis-
guided parents named their young
heir James Jefsries Corbett" some
weeks before the catastrophe to the
white race at Reno. An eastern ex-
change tells of man who went in
perpetual embarrassment through life
bearing the name Modest Flower"
These instances of parental folly
are bad enough, but look upon this,
beside which all others fade into in
significance:
a woman In Missouri, when called
Sror to give her name to an officer
CT the courts. gave it thus: Mrs
Mary Samantha Sarah Lavinia Macy
Lucretia Henrietta Parthenia Arizona
Tabitha Dollie Welding" After the
official had recovered from his faint,
the woman explained her cognomen in
this wise: When | was born my par.
entS had eight sisters. There was a
family fuss involving all of them
when il came to naming me, so in the
end they settled the matter by nam.
ing me for all of them and throwing
in a few names extra"
When parents take advantage of a
helpless infant not more than a few
hours old to inflict upon it names that
forever afterward will be a burden
and an embarrassment to it, they
take the meanest possible advantage
Of which even a sheep stealer should
be ashamed. There ought to be some
sort of retributiye justice for HALEY
Comet Modest Flower" Mary Sa,
mantha Sarah Lavinia Macy Lucretia
Henrietta Parthenia Arizona Tabitha
Dollie" and all their link, and it is a
strange commentary on the worlds
