SORRY SHE DIDN'T LIKE 1T

she seized the hat and viewed the eff

cent in the fond belief that the two
are interchangeable, is really rechris-
tening herself. The two names are ut
terly dissimilar.
Millicent, which is translated to
mean work, strength, comes from that
remarkable word "amal," meaning
work, which appears In some similar
form in all languages. We have our
word "moil" from 1t. Many feminine
names have been evolved from ANAL
the first probably being Amalaswinth,
the unfortunate queen Of LOmbardy,
" HON the Romans could not protect
from the treachery Of her favorites.
Historians call her AmalasOntha,
but in Burgundy she became Nell
sendra, Melicerte, and Melusine.
Spanish balIadlore reveals a Nell
sendra as the wife Of Don GayferOs,
who was taken captive by the MOors
and we hear of ner through Don Quix-
ote. Melusine was the. nymph, wife
of Lord de Ieezignan, who, according
to old legend, retired from public view
every Saturday and turned into a
serpent.
Princess MeIisende carried the
crown of Jerusalem to the House of
Anjoy and through the Provencal con-
nection of the English court, Lady
Melisent Stafford, who lived during
the reign of Henry II, established the
name in England. 1t soon came to be

The Friendly
Path 7.i':. | S;s;:,,:
YOUR OWN DOORSTEP

CWEEP your own doorstep! It al
~ ways is easier to find fault with
others than with oneself. And 1t is
just as true that when one goes around
looking for trouble, he's likely to miss
more serious difficulties Of his own
making.
Neglect Is never excusable. If one
is fair to his fellows, as well as him
self. he Will always have his own
house in order before he starts out to
make others clean house. If one
wishes to find fault with the treatment
accorded him by his fellows, he should
survey his own record Of actions to-
ward his fellowmen.
Many persons are constantly making
their own lives miserable and adding
to the sorrow of the world by COM
planning that ''the world is going to the
bow-wows," and contending that moth
ing short of another deluge will bring
sinfulness to an end. They overlook
entirely all the many good things and
good deeds which are constantly being
brought about by self-sacrif1cing indi-
viduals. Because people spend so much
time discussing the sordid side of life,
they come to think little of the better
side.
With all the disappointing evidences
Of lawlessness and disregard for moral
laws and modesty, it is still fact
that the vast majority are clean
minded, Woodworking, law-abidlng,
God-fearing men and women. If they
were not, there would be nothing new
in the wicked pathways about which
we hear so much. If the majority were
following the wrong trail the story Of
sin and misery and missteps would at
tract but passing attention. The ex-
ception, as usual, groves the rule.
II all those who are worried about
the Tendencies OF the age would
keep their own course straight and
would try to encourage others by their
cheerful examples, there would be less
sin in the world. For there are few
who Intentionally take the wrong
path.
One always will make his own life
happier and the world more cheerful II
he keeps his thoughts and words
focused on the better side.
It never pays to play with flre or to
occupy ones time reading trash.

YELLOW WARBLER

THERE were many children who
= lived in the same badly kept tene-
ment house with Tim, but Tim seemed
to be the only one who did not like
the crowded doorsteps and noisy
crowds Of children.
He did not delight In stoning poor
stray pussies either or teasing chill
dren younger than himself as he was
often leased by the Older boys.
The schoDlroom was Tins delight,
for Miss Carter, his teacher, told the
children of cool, green fields. birds and
flowers and apples enough on the
ground for everyone to have all they
wanted.
One afternoon Tim stayed later than
the other children and walked timidly
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1922-06-22

up to Miss Carter's desk. "Please,
Miss Carter, how far is 1t to the apple
orchard you told us about todayT he
asked.
1T is pretty far to that particular
one" was the reply, as she looked
into the eager little face beside her.
II used to live there, Tim, and every
year after school closes go back, and
see all my animal friends as well as
the orchard"
AS Miss Carter looked at Tim a
sudden thought came to her. "How
would you like to go home with me
this summer and see my friends and
pick up the apples / have told you
about?''
How Tim lived through the next few
weeks he could never have told. but
the day did come when he left the
noisy city far behind and. with Miss
Carter, rode on the train to the coun-
try he could hardly believe was real.
The first night In the sweet white
bed Tim slept but little for fear 1t was
all dream, but 1t wasn't and there
were weeks Of happiness ahead.
Tins cheeks grew round and rosy,
his eyes bright and such walks and
talks as he had with Miss Carter and
he met all of her animal friends, but
best Of all was pretty yellow war
bier that built nest in the fork of
the apple tree.
Tim watched this yellow fellow fly
ing back and forth into the tree and
one day he asked: "Miss Carter, what
does that bird carry in his mouth and
what does he do with itY
IF you will promise never to touch
bird nests, Tim, or take their eggs, ]
will show you something very pretty
said Miss Carter.
And when the yellow warbler had
flown away again, Miss Carter and
Tim placed ladder by the tree and
carefully climbed up.
Tins eyes were wide with wonder
for he had no idea what he was to
