Of Their Eighth Child

There Is two-year-old baby burdened
with a name which he probably will
want to shed when he grows up. A
clergyman wrote to one of the church
papers in 1905 deploring the weakening
authority of his cloth. He cited the
case of a couple who mad brought him
their child to be christened on the pre-

Octopus SIR"
The clergyman protested that such a
name was neither Christian nor seemly,
and was then informed that hes our
eighth, so We mean to call MIN some
thing appropriate" And in the end, In
