The Abraham Lincoln Boys.

Being baptized Abraham Lincoln Sutton, it would
be the natural thing surmise that the well known
judge of the district court called "Abc" in his
boyhood; but who among the members of the bar
would dream of calling him by a short title today?
Yet Judge Kennedy is Howard" to many practi-
TONERS who have seen him grow up in Omaha; and
it is quite safe 10 say Judge Sutton would not freeze
up at the sound Of the old name. The most solid
dignity often melts under the intimate touch that
recalls aud lang syne.
Besides Judge Sutton, we have Abraham Lincoln
Reed. Several other Omaha citizens have
the initials that might stand for Abraham Lincoln
for instance, A. L. Mohler, the railroad president;
A. L. Alexander, the shoe merchant; A. l.. Hoover,
a salesman. But in each of these cases the first
name is Albert.
THE Millboy of the Slashes," pride Of Kentucky
and thriller of list ming senates, has at least three
namesakes in Omaha Henry Clay Cheney Henry
Clay Richmond and Henry Clay Akin. Only Rich
mond can be dubbed politician.
Zachary Taylor Lindsey, tho rubber man, and
Jack Taylor Howell are the only persons here whose
names recall the soder-president who glory
in the Mexican war; but have Willard Fillmore

from other girls who are always addressed in

there is something in this reasoning; and again,
maybe not. But that there is something in a name
is not to be denied lightly.
Suppose your name was Zyglowitcz, and you were

would you change it to Joe Smith just for conven-
