r How Sober Hoskins
Got His Name
Everybody kids Sober Hoskins
about his name. Of course, they
allow that it's appropriate. Sober
never drinks anything stronger
than a glass of beer. And a
harder worker in the fields there
never was.
"Shucks," says Sober'* dad.
"We named Sober 'Sober' Just
because he looked that way
when he was born. Like we
called his sister 'Gay,' and his
other sister 'Prissy.' And It's had
Its effect on all of 'em." be adds
with spirit (Prissy Is the old
maid In the Hoskins family.)
I
From where I sit, there may
be something In what Sober's
dad says. Naming children after
virtues is a fine old American
custom. Look at\th?i names of
our pioneers and pilgrims: Faith,
Pious, Charity, Hope, Ernest
Maybe we should am such
names more often. And one I'd
like to add 1* "Tolerance." If we
all had Tolerance for a middle
name, and lived Bp to It, we'd
have a better, happier world.
