used TO know in school as Daniel Murphy
to a woman friend. and he informed me
that he was now calling himself 'Domnall
MacMurragh.' l never know when some
one of my irish acquaintance is going to
bob up with a new name.
"Of course most of these young people
are simply taking back the names which
were borne by their grandfathers and great
grandfathers, but / suspect that there are
few enthusiasts with Notwithstanding
names who are changing them into Irish
without regard to whether their ancestors
ever wore them that way or not.
TAKE the name OF Johnson. for instance.
1t is not at all uncommon in Ireland and the
chances are that the greater number of the
Irish people who are bearing 1t today got it
direct from their ancestors. Nevertheless
have known at least one Johnson with
no evidence that his ancestors ever spelled
the name any other way, to call himself
Macseaghan, for no other reason than that
John is 'Seaghan' and Son Mac in Irish,
'If his name had been originally Mac
Keen he would have had valid claim to
| MacSeaghan, as Keen is the corrupted
spelling Of 'Seaghan,' but as it was plain
Johnson as far back as he could trace, he
might almost as we'll have called himself
Ivanoviteh, except that his sympathies were
Irish instead of Russian.
81 know of one young Irish-American
who even went farther than that TO prove
himself true Gael. 1 suppose it's legiti-
mate to translate your name into amy
language you please. but as this young fell
lows name was plain saxon Arthur Hart.
he simply renamed himself entirely and
called himself Art Mac Art. after an ancient
Irish hero.
I'm Ireland, the tendency OF the people
I to restore their names to the ancient Gaelic
! forms has resulted in considerable con-
fusion, and not long ago Dublin magis-
| trate fined a contractor for having his name
\ in Gaelic on his carts as q violation OF the
ordinance providing that the names OF con
tractors must appear on their certs In
! legible characters.
Even the babies are revived Celts, nova
days. Where you used to hear OF Reginalds
and Gwendolens in Irish families you now
/ learn OF Canals. Dermots, Cormacs, Teigues
and Brighids and Norahs and Ellens and
Kathieens and Eileens.
Even Mary and Patrick, the typica
names OF Catholic ireland, are being passed
over for names that are characteristic o.
the ancient pagan civilization. in token Of
the new feeling that the nation is even mor'
than the church. Recently I was at tbs
christening OF a baby that was named Finn
after the pagan hero Of Irish romaneeP-

Seumas O'Laoghaire, but l decided that
the least 1 could do to help along the re-
vival of the Gaelic language was to give
my own name it's Gaelic spelling and pro-
nunciation. It's the way my ancestors
spelled and pronounced it, and don't care
to lend myself to the snobbishness of an
unknown grandfather who wanted to con-
ceal his Irish origin. "
That's funny" said the other man, 'I
know an Italian who has changed his name
from Giacomo Laurea to Jack Lowrey be-
cause he wants to be thoroughly American
A second italian friend of mine who was
christened Giuseppe Fardello, calls himself

A man who ended his career as presi-

poker hand, and then, as his turn comes

missed still further with his conscience His
sole duty after the freight went by was to
set the red light in the middle of the track
warning any following train that the
freight had passed. and then give his code
signal to the operator at the next station
to warn him that the freight was on tho
way. The agent decided after thinking the
matter over that so long as that signal
was set and the next agent notified, 1t made
no difference by what means the end was
attained. He therefore spent the next few
evenings perfecting device that would al
