A Compliment for the Senator.

When the young teacher of a small Western New York charity kindergarten asked a new boy his name, she was rather taken aback to have him answer. “It’s Chauncey Depew, ma’am.” A few days later, having heard that Chauhcey was ill, she went to inquire for him,. - The—door—was ope ned by a neatlooking Irish woman, who, on being asked, “Is this Mrs. Depew?” replied: “No, ma’am, that’s not my napde.” “But,” said the nonplussed teacher. “Chauncey told me his name was Chauncey Depew.” “Sure, it is,” promptly answered the proud mother. “I named him for the sinator’meself. My' name is Mrs. l&igh, an’ his is Chaulreey D.—Chauncey D. Pugh.” If we were , a girl, we would insist on being named Roberta.
