Minded Glasgow Newspaper.

r. M. MacGregor told the following
story at a luncheon of the Scottish
curriers' In New Glasgow: A New
Glasgow shipping firm was having
built a steamship on the Clyde and
gave it the name of Micmac. The odd
ity of the name aroused considerable
curiosity. The Nova Scotian captain
was asked the derivation of the name.
Good-naturedly the captain replied
that Mic was for the Irish and
MAC" for the Scottish. Next day the
captain was astonished to find this
explanation Of the name featured In
the Herald. He sent for the reporter
and explained that "Micmac" was tho
name of a tribe of Indians In Nova
Scotia. To his further establishment
the following day the Herald carried
a correction. reading as follows:
"We we're slightly Incorrect In Civ
Ing the derivation of the name Mic
mac in yesterdays issue. We now
learn that the ship is called Micmac
