History of Dour Same.
By PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN,
MacKISSICK

MaCkISSlCk
Observation-Disclosures, Mackis.
sock, Maclsaac.
RACIAL ORIGiN-Scottish.
SoURcE-A given name.
You'd never think, just to look at
IT. that the name of Mackissock is
nothing more or less than MacIsaac
in a changed spelling. But it is.
How did the change in pronuncia-
ton come about?
In the first place, the real change in
pronunciation has been in the way we
pronounce Isaac in English. 1t must
be remembered that the sound of the
letter a." as in like" is a wholly
modern development 1t is a pronun-
citation that is not to be found in any
OF the other languages either closely or
remotely related to English. Through
out the Middle Ages and in early mod
ern times the letter "I" in English
had just about the same sound that it
has in other European languages
either short like "it," or long, like
our present zee" (Which, by the way,
was originally pronounced "ay").
Isaac, pronounced with the short
IT," would sound like "1ssock." That's
just the way the Scots pronounced
MacIsaac, and SO these other Nell-
pronunciation
The MackisSocks were members of
the MacDonalds Of "Clann Raonaill,"
or, as they are more often referred to,
the Clan Ranald MacDonalds. The
name is quite frequent in Moidart and
Uist, the old strongholds of this High
land clan.

What Today Means to You

aspects favoring active business and
professional efforts in all lines, and
the evening is splendid for social
functions or home recreations.
A child born today will possess a
strong personality, and will prob
ably have greater success as a re-
suit of it's inherent charm than
through intellectually. More than
ordinary care should be given to it's
education and environment. and
every effort should be made to build
up strength of character. which is
much needed in persons of asSertive
individual personality.
If today is your birthday, you, in
spite of many enviable traits, do not
apparently show any marked readi-
ness to grasp the many opportuni-
ties within your reach. This cannot
be attributed to Incidence on your
part, as you are both painstaking and
Industrious; nor to any fear Of re-
sponsibility, as you have a great deal
are a slow thinker and fail to realize
the benefits or advantages which
might inure to you If you availed
yourself quickly of the opportunity.
Your mind is very logical one,
and you are never satisfied with any
proposition unless you have weighed
very carefully all the pros" and
"cons." This entails delay, and
many good prospect eludes you be-
cause it has taken you so long to
make up your mind.
The lover, fired with passionate de-
sire, does not relish having to wait
for a yes" when he thinks you
ought to be as deeply involved SEN
timentally as he is. The business
man, while deprecating undue haste,
does not enthuse over your Slowness
in appreciating the merits of propo-
sition which to him are perfectly
obvious.
Those who seek and seize oppor-
tunity are invariably the ones who
make successes of their lives; not,
let it be said, the impulsive ones, who
jump at anything and everything
that is plausible, but those who can
think quickly and reach a final de-
cision without wabbling or unneces-
sary delay.
Procrastination and indecision
cause many failures as well as heart
aches.
Well known persons born on this
date are: Thomas L. Crittenden, SOL
dier; Clarence E. Dutton, soldier
and geologist: William A. HemphilI
journalist; WiIliamina P. M. F1emine e

Leaks.

Leaks.
Let's have a clearer understanding Of
what leakage Of the heart" means. 1t
is obvious that a great many persons
have erratic ideas about it In the first
place. the term refers to a fault In the
valves. You know how that thing under
the hood of your flivver loses power
when the valves begin to leak. It is
much the same with heart leakage or
valvular disease. You should at least
know that valve is a door which al
lows fluid or gas to pass through, but
prevents it from flowing back In the
flivver, or in automobile engines at any
rate, when the surface of the valve be-
comes irregular from deposits of carbon
some backward leakage occurs at the
times when the valve should prevent
Just that, and the consequence is loss
of power.
There are membranous valves be-
tween the two cavities of the heart
(auricle and ventricie) on the right and
the left sides, and other valves between
the left ventricle and the great artery
(aorta) and between the right ventricle
and the main arterial trunk to the lungs
ALI of these valves are covered with the
same delicate membrane which lines the
heart, and so they may be damaged by
any inflammation which affects the lin
ing of the heart Inflammation of the
lining of the heart is called endocarditis
Vafyular heart disease or leakage is
practically always the result of previous

To be sure, | believe in beauty cul-

with physical exercise. Then why not

to renew one that has worn out, so
why not choose a becoming way of

why not keep ones complexion as

Governor Baxter
Unable to Go to

Governor Baxter had planned to go
to Fort Ethan Allen to review with
Governor Proctor the seth Infantry
Brigade. but the pressure Of BUSH
ness incident to the recount of the
primary ballots prevents. Governor
Baxter has written as follows to
General Greenlaw. who is in COM

July IS, 1924
Dear General Greenlaw:
at is better for me to write you
now than to wait until the last mo-
ment. The Supreme Court does not
convene until tomorrow and it will
take them several days on the ques-
tions connected with the recount.
After that the Council must meet
and 1t will take US day or two to
settle matters.
This win bring the recount well
into next week and with all the
things that are crowding in upon me
Il is absolutely impossible for me to
take five days and come to Fort
Ethan Allen. It takes the best part
of two days to go and an equal
length of time to return, and would
not think of coming unless I could
stay with you day and a half or
more.

sorry that circumstances over
which I have no control keep me
here. Please be sure to extend my

1000 On Oct. 4th

1t used to be said of Belfast that
she could not entertain big conyen-
t1onS and such gatherings but after
the ShrinerS' day on May Goth when
the State Federation Of Business and
Professional Womens clubs was
here in convention at the same time,
it is pretty safe to feel that the little
city on the bay can take care of all
corners. With this in mind the men,
bers of Silver Cross Lodge, knights
OF Pythias, Herbert Brown, Chan
cellor Commander, has issued invita-
tipns to all the lodges within a radius
gilmore than 100 miles who will come
here on October 4, some 1000 strong
for q big field day.
The chief attraction will be the
famous degree team from Peter
Woodlawn Lodge of Lynn, Mass,
which will confer the degree upon Il
large class of candidates from the
various orders il big tent which
will be set up in city park. In order
to do this 4 special dispensation has
been granted to work the degree in a
tent, under police supervision. This
will be at night.
The program for the day will In
clude shore dinner at the park fol-
lowed by music, fancy dancing,
games, a boxing match and athletic
sports. 1t will be the largest gath
erinS held in Belfast in years and the
local order has chosen Charles f.
Stevens chairman of the general COM
mittee. He will be assisted by
knights from other lodges who will
meet here next Sunday to discuss
plans.

Historical Pageant All
That Was Expected

The big Historical Pageant. staged
at the New Belfast Fair Grounds,
Monday and Tuesday nights by the
Belfast Business and Professional
Women's Club was all and more
than the most optimistic expected
and the large attendance both nights
was far in excess of the widest
dreams of the committee. It was a
tremendous success from start to
finish and the young director, Jack W.
Broggs, of the John B. Rogers Pro-
ducing Co., who took the raw material
and brought harmony out of chaos
and confusion, Is deserving of the
praise which has been showered upon
him.
Miss Ruth Dinsmore as Miss Bel
fast, was as pretty as a picture, dig
nified, sweet and winsome, and her
young voice as she made the address
of welcome, rang out so clearly it
could be distinctly heard in the re-
mote corners of the grand stand.
Miss Columbia, represented by
Mrs. Sara Latin Hammons, the club
president, with her 4s States, in most
effective costumes of red, white and
blue, were as stately as their name
implied and added much to the pic
ture.
Senator H. G. Buzzell made an ex-
cellent Father Time, who announced
