Something to
Think .About
By r. A. H'dLKER
HELP YOURSELF
PV’ERYTHINO beneath the r.un 11
available to the deserving, so
reach out your hands and help your
self.
To be worthy you should be patient,
industrious, persevering, charitable
toward the weak, respectful to the
strong.
You must overcome foolish pride
and envy; be not afraid to soil your
hands, but a veritable coward when it
comes to the point where you are
called upon to smudge your soul.
Go forth with a heart full of faith
and a joyous countenance.
Do not grumble if you happen to be
in the lower ranks.
Think of the great men of today
who came up from humble places and
won distinction, whose names are
written across the lands and seas in I
flaming letters.
Hold faith high above your head.
Let its unfailing torch Illuminate your |
path all through life, and march on as- |
h tired that the goal you have set your
heart upon in just ahead.
Do not falter If your road should be
difficult and your burden wearisome.
Difficulties are common obstacles I
No one can get anything worth while
without overcoming them.
Affluence and power have their be
ginning in small things, both capable of
being won by well-directed thought
and effort.
They belong to the capable who are
qualified to use them in the right way,
not to tiie doubting, inefficient and
wavering, but to the courageous, the
steadfast, who never admit defeat nor
turn their faces In the darkest hour
from the sun of faith, shining always
on every cross and care.
If you would help yourself to the
best there is, keep track of your faults.
If Inclined to procrastinate, take ales
son from the tides, the revolving earth,
never delaying or hurrying.
Be methodical, even though it may
In the present day of haste and con
fusion be considered old-fashioned.
Train your mind to remember what
your eyes see; keep your brain sensi
tized so that the impressions made
upon it shall become permanent pic
tures to which you can turn when they
may be needed.
Only what you can recollect in the
vital moment Is of any use to you, and
In that moment. If you should fail to
remember, your whole future might be
blighted.

REGINA
A LWAYS Regina’s mother and fa
**• ther had stood between her and
reality. When Regina wanted a new
dress that the family finances could
not afford, her mother went without a
muff all winter. On the first day that
Regina came home from school with a
bad report, angry and mortified, a com
plaint was entered and her teacher
was changed. If her younger slater
was asked to a party and Regina omit
ted, regrets were sent. It was not
strange that at twenty Regina should
be afflicted with elephantiasis of the
ego.
Then the day came when family
finances broke down. Regina, who felt
that her home town did not appreciate
her as it should, went away to earn
her living. In a strange city, as one of
several applicants for the position of
companion to a rich old lady, Regina
was not surprised to be chosen. Natu
rally any one would want her before
others. Even when she learned that
her employer had once been Indebted
to her mother for a kindness, her self
satisfaction was not shaken —for was
It not HER mother? From the first,
Regina took the stand that she was a
guest In the house; she insisted on her
cup of coffee before she got up in the
morning, and upon fresh flowers in her
room each week. “Water seeks its own
level” was a platitude often on her
lips. Then the cook, who hud lived
with the old lady for thirty years,
struck, and Regina found that her own
level was elsewhere.
A long interval of seeking and not
finding followed: Regina's suit was |
very shiny, but her self-esteem un
dimmed, when she read <»ne day a sign
In a restaurant window that a waitress
was wanted. "A lady can do any
thing!” she whispered to that within
which corresponded to her soul as she
donned apron and cap. In the same
spirit she haughtily refused Iter first
tip and found herself the laughing
stock of the place. Ttiree months later
her tactics had changed: for the priv
ilege of being waited upon by HER a
customer could not tip too high. One
day when she was tipped five cents In
stead of ten she offered a piece of her
mind, was reported—and fired.
As she sat in her lodging-house
room, for which she had paid her last
dollar, for the first time she sought
one answer to her predicament. Then.
’ front a changed angle, she thought of
the restaurant as a place where tired
working people came to get refresh
ment, instead of an institution that
was run to pay her wages The old
lady’s household was now a place
where she might have learned the run
i nlng of an establishment with the least
possible friction Her own home be
came a group to which It had been her
special privilege to bring refreshment
i Suddenly the enormity of her habit
’ of self-consciousness, of seeing In any
situation only what affected herseif.
came upon her, and she asked herself
how far. at thirty-five, this horrible
habit of self-consciousness had de
stroyed her power of adjusting to a
world made up of many people?

IS IT CUSHING?
THE name of Cushing, well known
in England and the United States,
may be derived from Couzon. a place i
in France, though it may, in some In
stances, be derived from the French
word for cousin. One authority on
name origin has It, however, that the
name Is derived from an older sur
name Cusyn, from the French, mean
ing cook, and that It is therefore an
occupatlve name like Cook. Other
forms of the same name are Cushon
and Cushion.
The Americans of the name can
trace their descent back to a period I
before America was discovered by |
Columbus. The first whose name and
record are known was Thomas Cush
ing of Hardenham, England, whose will
is dated 1406. His son, William, of
Hingham, England, had a son of Hard
ingham, and his son Peter was the
father of Peter Cushing who was born
in 1589, who came to this cobntry
with bls wife Nazareth, settling in
Boston in 1658. Later they removed
to Hingham, Mass., named from the
old home of the Cushings In England.
There have been many prominent
Cushings in many different profes
sions. William B. Cushing was a dis
tinguished naval officer in the Civil
war and Nathaniel Cushion was a
brave soldier in the Revolution. There
was a Thomas Cushion noted as a
statesman in the Revolution, and a
Caleb Cushing, bom in 1800, an able
statesman in pre-Civil war days. He
it was who confirmed the first treaty
between the United States and China.
Frank Hamilton Cushing was a noted
ethnologist and Jonathan Cushing was
a prominent educator.
Tiffany.-—This is an old English
name derived from the word once
popularly used for Epiphany. Per
haps it was first adopted by one who
was born In the season of Epiphany.—
just after Christmas.
Budd. —It is hard to trace this sur
name to its origin. One good au
thority places it with a group of short
names that are probably contractions
of longer first names usual in Anglo-
Saxon times which have since been
lost sight of.
