Source—A locality. This family name quite clearly be- longs in the classification of those which have been derived from the names of places, for it is traceable through the early documents, with the prefixed "de," meaning of. It is paradoxical that the smaller communities in all .lands have given more family names than the big cen- tres of population. The reason for this is, in the first place, that people flocked from the small communities, where there was not so gmeat a need for additional names, to the big cen- tres, where there was not only need, but where the mention of a small place served the purpose of differen- tiation quite accurately.' In the sec- ond place, the big communities gave rise to comparatively few family names because it constituted little dif- ferentiation to speak of "Roger de London,", when there were thousands of "Rogers from London" to be found all over the country. Authorities differ as to the origin of the place name of Beverly, which is In Yorkshire, Some derive it from "belvoir" (beautiful view) and "ley," a meadow or field. It is more prob- able, however, that the place already had been named by the Anglo-Saxons its "Beverlac," or beaver -lake. MacCORKILL Variation—MecCorkle. Racial Origin Scottish. Source -A given name. Here is a family name which, though purely Scottish Gaelie.in it eorigin.as such, traces back ultimately to Norse sourdes, and if you bear this name there is a good chance that you have a line of ancestry reaching back to the Vikings through Scotland. The name of MacCorkill or Mac- Corkle was borne by one of the branches or septs of the Clan Gunn, which was decidedly one of the fight- ing clans of the Highlands, its history vying with that of the MacGregors, in records of desperate fighting. But the given name from which MMlacCorkill is derived is Thorketil, a relic of the old pagan Norse religion, and the meaning of which is "Thor's kettle." The kettle er cauldfon`was a utensil which played a. large part, .fig- uratively, in the worship of the Vi- kings, and is found to -day as an ele- ment in a lot of family names, and even still is given names in the Scan- dinavian countries. There is a great deal of Norse blood in Scotland, principally along the north and west coasts. At one period a considerably part of the coast was in the hands of Norwegian settlers who retained their allegiance to the Norse kings, and who later took their places among the Celts of the High- lands in full Gaelic clan organization. Children of Chance. "How did he ever think of that?" We often hear this, or some similar remark at the Royal Academy or any other picture exhibition. Very often, the true answer would be "chance." It is frequently a purely accidental cir- cumstance that suggests a picture to a knight of the palette. Everyone who has been to St. Paul's Cathedral has seen Holman Hunt's beautiful picture, •"The Light, of the World." Concerning this the painter says: "I had been re -reading the •Testa- ment, and hail read as fa.r *as Revela- tions when, anxiouS..to finish the book one evening, S took my Bible up to my bedroom, and suddenly came upon a passage which, as by a flash, impress- ed the picture on my brain." Two of Sir Luke Fildes' pictures were inspired by accidental circum- stances. These are "The Return of the Penitent" and "The Widower." The idea for the first -named paint- ing came one day when the artist was passing down a village street and saw a miserable -looking woman walk by him, with downcast eyes, amidst the sneers of the inhabitants. The scene so impressed him that he made in- quiries concerning the woman, learnt her history—she had been imprisoned for child-murder—and painted his tragic picture. "The Widower' owes its conception to an equally pathetic Incident. Sir Luke hadhired a broken man off the, streets to sit, nursing a baby, for his picture, "The Casual Ward." During a rest period Sir Luke caught his model looking at and petting the baby as tenderly as any woman, and so im- pressed was he. with the unrehearsed scene that he put it on canvas.: Secular aa well as sacred literature has inspired pictures. Marcus Stone was so impressed by Dickens' descrip- tion of Mr. Dombey's .Toy at the birth of Paul, and his consequent neglect of Florence, that he painted the scene. Similarly, two tragic stanzas from minfaimmignmem—.. 9! Begahollitiskrd or a lth Don't refuse the mustard when it is passed to you.

Thin blood is one of the most com- mon causes of stomach trouble. It affects the digestion very quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive fluids are diminished in their activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will more quickly restore the appetite, digestion end normal nutrition than good, rich, red blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood, making it rich and red, and this enriched blood strengthens weak nerves; stimulates tired muscles and awakens to normal, activity the glands that supply the digestive fluids. This is .shown by an improved appe- tite, and soon the effect of these blood enriching pills is evident throughout the whole system. You find that what yen eat does not distress you, and that you are vigorous instead of irritable and listless. If your appetite is fickle, if, you have any of the distressing pains and symptoms of indigestion, you should at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and profit by the better con. —Alice M. `Shepard. dition in which they will put your blood• p BABY'S These pills are sold by all` dealers in GUARD DABS i 1.

Only two men, so far as we know have ever -passed a night virtually o the brink of the Horseshoe Fall Niagara. These men, says a write In Wide World Magazine, are Gustav F. Lofberg and James H. Harris, who were employed as dredgers. On an afternoon in August, 1923, their scow broke its cable, and they were at the mercy of the swift current above the falls. There seemed to be no hope for them. Down they swept, and then suddenly the heavy scow ran aground almost on the brink! The minds of the watchers on shore, says the writer, worked like lightning. They quickly decided on a line and a breeches buoy as a method of rescue. The Coast Guard station' at the mouth of the Niagara River,' fifteen miles or so distant, was' immediately called on the. telephone, and Capt. A., D. Nelson and his crew were asked to come to the rescue. It was about three o'clock when the scow broke adrift; at a quarter past four Captain Nelson and a squad.of men started for Niagara Falls in a big army motor truck. They carried with them the life -line cannon and other necessary apparatus. The ques- tion that agitated every mind was whether the fierce current would lick the scow away before the men could be saved? It was a race between the ver and the rescuers. When Captain Nelson and his men rrived they quickly set up the life- ne cannon on the shore east of the ower house. The captain sighted it a and fired. High out over the river the rojectile hurtled. It made a remark- ble flight and then settled directly over the scow. Lofberg and Harris grabbed the mall line as it fell and at a signal egan drawing it in. Attached to the ore end was a heavier rope, but the o men had a hard time hauling it rose the swift current: Though ose on shore helped all they could, it ook two hours to get the rope over. en those on shore carried the' end on top of the power house and ade it secure. As the work progressed night came , and big searchlights were brought to play. For a time the rescuers apt at their task, but after a while ey reluctantly agreed that their ef- rts must cease until daylight. Out on the scow Lofberg and Harris re seen to lie down to rest, if rest re possible for men aboard a strand - scow that at any minute might be ked up on a rising flood and tumb- over the brink of Niagara.: It was ight of awful suspense, not only for e poor fellows on the scow and the n engaged in their rescue but for thousands of men, women and ldren who had lingered on the ne. Daylight on the morning of August aw everyone alert, The scow still where it had run aground, though might move at any moment. Quickly the lines were cleared, and after a le delay the breeches buoy was t out to the castaways.
