Chronicler Tells of
Naming of Diogenes

Il don't know what to name that
child" sighed an Athenian lady one
day to her husband as she rolled up
a pair of sandals she had been en-
broidering for herself.
She was pretty woman with a
Greek profile. She wore set Of
walls of Troy around her waist, which
fell dangling around her toga (frock).
why don't you name him after
me?" inquired her husband, mild
little fellow with bald head and a
habit of Tapping one ear as he talked.
Huh I" shifted his wife. 81 shall
name him after somebody" Just as
If her husband was nil, nothing, you

Lets name him Alpha. 1t means

Don't talk Greek to me-" sneered
her husband. whats the matter
with Omega, meaning 1ast'?''
With a derisive laugh the woman
beckoned the nameless child.
The baby walked unsteadily over
the floor First he Topped over
toward his father, but just as he
reached his fathers knee he would
1urch on without touching him. When
he tottered over toward his mother,
who was about to grasp him, he
lodged her knees, too.
This is funny" laughed the mother.
isn't it?' roared the father, and they
both called the child; first one, then
the other; then vice versa, just to
see him dodge their knees.
II KNOW" cried the Athenian lady,
suddenly jumping up and knocking
over the child. Let's call him
Dodgeknees !" which in the Greek is
spelled "Diogenes."
Seeing the wisdom of her choice.

her and so was.-Detroit Free Press.
