Names
It is one of the minor tragedies of
fife that a man is allowed uo voice iu
the choice of his baptismal name,.
No doubt the parent who had twins
'ehrietened Cherubim and seraphim.
because, as he.explaiued, "they con-
tinually do cry," was proud of his
_;4; levereess; but he could scarcely ex-
Lpect his offspring to "rine up and call
ilitu blessed," any more than the man
whose five children had to sign their
names Imprimis" Finis, Appendix, Sup-
plement, and Erratum..
Equally unfortunate were infants
,launched into the world as Not -Walt -
ed ]aures, II-iteelaria? and That's -It -

Heath and Troublesome John Sims
could affordto smile at such labels

was without malisioes intent that the
parents ot an American named Cum -
her christened him, as their fifth.
Quintus. Naturally, his political op-
poneuts round not resistereferriug to
;him in print as Mr. Q. Cumber.
While some parents exhibit too
much ingenuity at the baptismal font,
,others gem m to be singularly lacking

Surnames and Their Origin
MORGAN
Racial Origin—Welsh.
Source—A given name.
This is a family name which has
eon formed from the .given name in
i' the normal process which marks the
Ydevelopmot of Weise ..urnames fall -
lag within this classification.
That virtually no widely 'known vale-
:ntions of the name exist is due to the
pact that it is a name not easily sim-
;pliiied or changed in form. Most
`ohnnges in names, as In words, of
;course, have come about through a
'tendency to simplify rather than. to
,maks complex.
Morgan is very ancient as a given
turname in the Cymric branch of the Cel-
tic tongues, and Rs meaning was "sea
hite,"
' While the Welsh had their clans in
{somewhat the same fashion as the
!Irish and the Scottish Highlander, the
elan system, among them does not.
,deem to have persisted to -the extent
that it did in Ireland ami in the High-
lands, at least to the extent of impos-
ing itself upon the family name sys-
eeni of later generations. For the
!most part the Welsh formed their
e,'Amily names in much the same fas-
,'liion as the English; using thein in the
!first place as mere explanations of the
individual's parentage. The Welsh
tword corresponding to the "son" of
,tbe English, the "Fitz" of the Normans
,end the "Mac" of the Gaels was "Ap."
j'l'vus "Evan Ap Morgan" was simply
"Evan the son. of Morgan." And just
as these prefixes and suffixes have
been dropped later in English and
Gaelic names, so the "Ap" has been
dropped in the Welsh names,
O'ROURKE
Variations—O'Rorke, O'Ruarc, Rourke,
Rooke, Rorke.
Racial OrigIn—Trish.
Source—A given name.
The Clan O'Rourke, from which the
Clan O'Reilly took its origin, and
which in its turn was au offshot of the
Clan O'Connor, is listed among the
oldest of clan organizations. among the
Irish.
As a clan name, which virtually was
the same thing as a family name, this
surname probably antedates anything
in the way of an English family name
by some three or four centuries.
The founder of the O'Rourke clan
was a chieftain named Roarc O'Core
nor, the.youngest of the twelve sons
of the famous Tiernan O'Connor. The
date was some time prior to 93 A.D.
A grandson of Roare, Feargal
O'Rourke, was the thirty-ninth .Chris-
tian King of Connaught. This mon-
arch died in 954, and for a period of
several centuries afterward this elan
contributed many monarchs to the
royal list of this kingdom.
Like most of the Irish names, this
one has suffered rather drastic
changes in. spelling through its trans-
lation into the English language.
The given name of "Roarc" is de-
rived from ancient Gaelic words mean-
ing "very swift."

Not Time for Everything,
Bottles As Messengers.
A wire reeeived from Philadelphia
recently announced the finding of eine
of the l usitaniaet lifebelts. This sad
reminder of disaster trust have travel-
led three thousand miles, and mu -
pied years In its Journeys.
Not one of the several clues relating
to the unexplained disappearance of
the '14 aratah proved to be genuine, but
the evideuce of bottle messages bas
often been acceptedin courts of law.
The Nimia sailed from Newcastle,
:row South Wales, in July, 1912, and
was never heard ot again. Long at
lerwards. a scrap of paper torn from
a log book was washed up on the New
Zealand coast. It bore a scrawled
message: "Nitrate is sinking fast by
hurricaue in 42 S, 160 E. Gott save
us." The German consul. at Auckland
was able to establish the faet that the
handwriting was that of the captain
it the ill-fated vessel,
The penorel Steals, Navigation Com-
pany's vessel Oriole left London for 1
Havre in January, 1915. The follow-
ing month several of hor lifebelts
were picked up near Hastings, but
the Oriole never reached her destina-
tion, Subsequently a Guernsey fisher-
man picked up a beer bottle contain-
ing a sbeet of paper on which was
written a brief message signed by
three of the crew—"Oriole--torpedo--
sinking."
The Allan liner Hurouian left Gias-
gow in 1902, and disappeared entirely.
Five years afterwards a man saw a
bottle washed up by the tide on the
north coast of Ireland. He opened it
and found a paper on which was writ-
ten the message, "Huronian sinking
fast. Tip heavy. One side under
water. Good-bye, mother and sister.
Charles McFall.'
Several bottle messages were put in
as evidence during an inquiry into the
loss of a Grimsby trawler, the Angus.
One, picked up on the coast of Norway,
read, "Steamship Angus. All hands
mutiny. Collision with foreign bar-
que."
Bottles have been known to come to
land even fifteen years after they had
been cast into the ocean.
Ask Yourself
Am I living the sort of life that will
give me the largest returns in brain
energy and gripping thought, in mas-
terful living; that will keep mite al-
ways fit for the biggest things I am
capable of doing? Am I doing the
sort of things that wilI encourage my
aspiration, feed my ambition, develop
my mental and physical strength, or
ani I forming habits which will tend
to sap the largest percentage of spy
energy, devitalize me, demoralize my
efforts, kill my ambition, mar my
ideals?
Thes e are fundamental questions
which strike at the very tap -root of
our possibilities. What we -should be
ambitious to do is to bring out the
largest possible man, the men we are
Capable of league, the man we long to
be.. And we should live and work
with this end in view, aucl nut like a
man who should say: "I want to
bring out the divine possibilities in
nee, for I realize that.I have two na-
tures,' two selves, so 'to speak. The
largest possible man in ire , is ever
prodding me on, even suggesting to
me that I bring him out and give him
a 'chance; but.I ani not willing to pay
the price, I am not willing to do the
hard work, .which would make the
larger man possible, and so the_e •is

Have you ever heard the story of
Gilligan?
Gilligan was an Irl:ehnmen, and he
once got the position ot statiou•rmas
ter of a little wayside line c.f a not
rnucleused Bribe Irish braneli railway.
Gilligan wee not accustomed to
sending in reports. and as he had to
send one in to headquarters every day
Ime found it rather difficult worn.
First of all his reports were so long,
and rambled 'o from one subject to
another, that the t'liicials at Meati-
querten. could not understand thein,
so they requested hint to make his re-
ports shorter. but sensible.
Oue day a ligimt engine ran off the
lines quite close to the station of
which Gilligan was station -master.
The following day, in wording his
report, Gilligan said:

again. -Gilligan: ,
Tom Was Puzzled.
Au expedition was sent to our of
the Southern States to observe the re-
cent eclipse of the sun.
The day before the event one of its.
members said to an old darky belong-
ing to the house where he was stay-
ing: "Tota, it you will watch your
chickens to -morrow morning you'll
find that they'll all go to roost at
eleven o'clock."
Tom was skeptical, but, sure enough
at the time predicted the sky darken-
ed and the chickens retired to roost,
The Negro, amazed beyond measure,
sought out the scientist.
"Perfessor," he asked, "how long
ago did you know dem chickens would
go to roost?"
"About a year ago," he replied with
a smile.
"Veli, if dat don't beat all; Why.

WELL SATISFIED WITH
BABY'S OWN TABLETS
Once a mother has used Baby's Own
Tablets for her little ones she will use
nothing else. Her use of them leads
her to believe there is no other medi-
cine to equal them for any of the
many minor ailments of childhood.
Concerning them Mrs. Eugene Bois -
vert, East Aldfielcl, Que., writes: "My
baby was terribly constipated, but af-
ter the use of Baby's Own Tablets he
is entirely well again. I am so well
satisfied with the Tablets that I lose
no opportunity in recommending them
to other mothers." The Tablets are
