So when the aun* ex. claimed: “Lets name him now., lec’a vote on It." the others eagerly consented Bach member of the family wrote the name that he or nhe thought would be most appropriate on a piece of paper. Then a hat wa* paused around and the papers put Into It Mlaa Simpson, who had put hereetf In charge of the voting, counted the lusllota. Hiram and Albert were on two balleta. but the name often.-*: selected wa* Ulysses. This was because Grandfather Grat had recently been readtng the atory of the aiege of Troy and the name had made a great Impression on several members of the family. At last It was decided to call the baby Hiram
