ALTERATION Record.

Miss Lara WhitmDre, register of
deeds, comes OF a family of nine chill
dren. And the anne in the family
are all very similar. When the first
three children arrived they were
named In succession, Dora, Cora and
Nora. This caused some comment in
the neighborhood and a friend of the
parents said: THAT works all right
for three children, but you are liable
to run out Of names that sound sim
liar, If you have any more" Appar-
emily this put the parents on their
mettle, because they solved the prob
lem nicely. The next addition to the
family was a pair Of twins, a boy and
a girl. So they were named Flora and
Mora. After this there were four
other girls born and they were
promptly named Ora, Fora, Lora and
Clora. If any family can beat this
