But Monday, December 13, 1915, at 9:271:32 a. m. he entered his office gam- boling gally as a giddy girl. He was hum- ming & snatch from & popular song (and he a stald Congregationlist, too!) The popular song was “Grandpa Is a Grand Ola Name." “Aren’t you John Nicholson. “Feeling well!” exclaimed Mr. Hoyt, “Feeling well! You ask aren't I, I mean, am not I feeling well? Jofin, it I was feeling any better I'd have to wear teeling” well?” inquired weights on my shoes. Feeling well! Ha, | ha, ha!" “Perhaps he added a rare stamp to his collection?”’ opined Miss Moore, of the office, force. Mr, Hoyt 18 a leadjng stamp | collector. Mr. Hoyt could contain himself no longer. He laughted right out loud. “Rare stamp!” he chortied. “Well, 1 should say I have added a rare stamp to my collection. The rarest ever. Yes, sir, it's so rare that it's worth more than all my collection. Worth ten times as much. Oh, yes,, a milllon times as much.” “Must be some stamp,” murmured John, wondering whether he hadn't bet- ter ask the boss to le down till he'd feel {more himself. Mr. Hoyt went into his private office, softly singing, “Oh, Grandpa 18 & Grand Old Name.” He tried to work for a few minutes. | But it was no use. S0 he called in Miss | Moore and John. | “I have a very important announce- ment to make,” he said. “This morning at their home, 4505 Webster street, a | beautiful girl baby was born to Mr. and |Mrs. Bdward Lyman Hoyt. 1 am a | erandfather.” | Anda Mr. Hoyt rose and strutted up |and down the room, smiling like a bas- | ket of chips on the way to a bonfire. in an instant it seemed the news had |spread by grapevine telegraph, and from |all over the bullding they came to offer congratulations. Mr, Hoyt hela an in- formal reception. The baby’s name? Well, Miss Moore said she thinks Flor ence Adelaide would be & lovely name. An 044 coincidenco s that Miss Mobre's name Is Florence Adelaide. “Plenty of time to decide on & name,” sald Granpa Hoyt. “Of course, in the case of this baby, probably the finest ever born, only the finest name can be selected.” MINISTER FOR UNITARIANS Committee Reports that It Exy:cu' to Be Able to Select One in a Short Time.
