THE DAILY SHORT STORY
The Golden Name.

The trouble with young Mr..
Stevens was not in the locating
a wealthy uncle to be named
after, but in choosing between a
host. At the time of the young
mans arrival upon this mundane
globe, there were no less than
seven disgraceful1y rich Stew
enses. And the pinkish PERSONS
own parents, John and Lucia
Stevens, were poor as any church
mouse.
1t was the young, pink fellows
one golden chance. But right
there the trouble came. Which
of the golden seven would most
appreciate plump, pink, name
sake was a matter of the gravest
doubt. The Stevenses resorted to
desperate measures.
, Invitations to the christening
were sent to the seven old gentle
men, who dwelt all the way from
Amoskeag, in Maine, to the val
ley of the San Joaquin. In each
of the seven invitations a strong
hint was extended that the recipiz
ent was about to be remembered
in the naming.
Upon the date set for the nam
ing, seven bald, gray, shrewd-
faced gentlemen alighted from
the train at Ridgedale. Each of
the old gentlemen beamed mag
unanimously, and each of them
brought the pink, plump person
a googoo RATHER or a rubber ring,
and each of them had check
book handy in an inner pocket.

The Stevenses gasped happily;
then turned to listen to Uncle
Hank, who had lumber interests
around Spokane.
"Call him Hank. There's snap
and go in Hank-sounds like
bank or spank. And I'll go four
thousand"
The Stevenses almost choked,
while the pink fellow blabbed
right out.
BE patriotic" admonished the
uncle who had rice plantations in
Louisiana. Name the boy George
Washington for me. Then I'll
make it five thousand dollars"
"HuhP' growled the uncle from
Amoskeag, jealously. Call the
chap something that people can
remember. If you'll name him
John Henry, I'll start him with
six thousand"
The Stevenses sat down utter
ly stupe6ed, while the pink per-
son waved and crowed at them
all.

and classy" said the uncle from
California. Make it Hannibal

"Hannibal's Latin and heath

give him eight thousand"

Associated Press Dispatch
Washington, ID. c., Aug. 13.-By
five votes the House today passed the
Wool Tariff revision bill over
President Taft's veto. The vote was
LA to so and was made possible
only by the DETECTION of 21 Republi-
cans who voted with the Democrats.
The commencement of Democratic
success created a wild scene in the
House and amid great confusion the
Republican leaders protested that
Speaker Clark must count as voting
ten members who answered pres
ent" to their names. A ruling
which would have defeated the
Democratic program by overcoming
the five-vote margin and making
impossible the recording of a neces-
sary two-thirds vote of the House.
This the speaker declined to do.
Less than an hour after the wool
bill had been repassed in the House,
the conferees on the sugar tariff bin
met and disagreed They determined
to report to the House and Senate
that it had been found impossible to
reach a compromise between the Tn
derwood and Lodge-Bristow bill.
