bygOn" generation witnessed an
acrimonious controversy in the Irish
family CT O'Conor in County Roscom-
mon as to the right of any branch of
the ancient race to spell the name
thus-with one n That right, it
was maintained, was held only by the
O'ConOr Don as head of the house.
So prolonged was the contest between
the partisans of the O'COnor and
'N-lesS'' standing for "endless') cor
respOndence. Finally the question was
referred to Sir J. Bernard Burke. the
Ulster king of arms. His decision
conceded with a decision in a certain
other matter-namely, that much might
be said OH either side. The two dis
putting families had a common origin;
a king of Connaught, and could with
propriety and in accordance with ira
dition spell the name one way or the
other. Fortified by this award" the
two families have continued to spell.
their name with one M up to the
present hour.
Equally firm on the question as tC
how his name should be spelled was
the witness in a case tried in the
kings bench a few years ago. Asked
his name, his prompt reply was John
'Awkins." DO you," queried counsel,
spell your name with or without an
H." The emphatic answer was,
"J-o-h-n." AS a rule, however, as we
have said. variety in the spelling OF
the names of people, as in that of the
names Of places, owes its origin to
people not being so clear as was our
friend regarding how a name should
be spelled.
Two stories in illustration of this
occur to US. In the first Mrs. CULVER
full was having christened her latest
baby. The old minister was a little
deaf What name did you say?" he
queried 81 said,' replied the mother,
with some asperity, Hannah" do

now thoroughly eXasperated lady, 81

mean 'Haitch-hay n-hay-haitch'-
Hannah
The second incident to which we re-
fer is this. Here also there was "a
lady in the case" She was on an er-
rand, and she had to deal with the
name of another party. In brief. she
had bought a pair of sleeve links for
her fiance when the shopman asked,
amy initials, miss?" The rest may be
stated thus:
She-Oh, yes; l forgot Engrave a
