A Bad Name.

"A. Swindle" is the name that appears over the office door of a struggling lawyer in the city of Stratford, Ont. A friend of the unfortunate gentleman suggested the advisability of his writing out his first name in full, thinking that Arthur or Andrew Swindle, as the case might be, i/ould sound better and look better than the significant “A. Swindle.” When the lawyer, with tears in his eyes, whispered to him that his name was Adam, the friend understood and was silent. —Wisconsin Blade.
