the town and shire Of Montgomery In
Wales took their names and from them
several men In turn took the name Of
Montgomery. In a great many cases
the name was given to a place
and the place In turn gave It's
name to good many men who
lived near 1t, but perhaps the facts
case than in most instances. John
Montgomery, who was member of the
Continental congress, was born In the
north of Ireland in 1922 He came to
the new world for rather unusual
reason-because he inherited a small
fortune. Nanny first settlers came
over to mend their fortune, but John
came to spend his. He settled In Car
Isle, Pa, and was captain in the ex-
pedltion against the Indians under
Gen. John Forbes in 1853. The fam
lily has been distinguished by pioneers,
missionaries, soldiers and naval OH.
GERS
SHIRLEY-This name has been
traced to the old English first name
SQUALLS that also gave Sewell How
ever, as surname Shirley was adopt
ed from the manor of Shirley In
Derbyshire. The family was well es-
tablished in the reign of Edward III.
HELLER AND HELLIER-Appar-
emily there is little or no connection
between these two names. HELLER Is
from the old English heller, meaning
one who covers. 1t had the signifi-
canoe of thatcher or tiler, and 1t is
therefore an occupationai name akin
to Tyler, Slater, Shingler, etc. Helye
Is variation of the same name Hell
Ter, however, is a German name, the
first of the family here having been
Christopher Heller, who was born
near Worms, Germany, In 1858. He
was one of the many Palatinates who
came to this country In Colonial times.
He was the founder of Hellertown,
Pa. The Hellers lived in Nuremberg,
Bavaria, in the Twelfth century.

QGf.D!;SR. ,..
is 1T MONTGOMERY?

THERE Is an interesting phase Of
the origin of names exemplified by
Montgomery. To begin with there was
in France a man named Gomerie His
was an old Teutonic name, Gomerih,
from Coma. This Gomerie lived on a
hill which was therefore called Mont
Gomerie. This is place near Llsieux
in Normandy and family of French
counts. because they lived near this
hill, were given the title of the counts
of Montgomerie. Roger de Montgom-
erie was kinsman of William the
Conqueror and went with him to Eng
land where he led the center Of his
army at Hastings.
From this Roger de Montgomerie

WISHING ON LOAD OF HAY

THE custom of wishing when load
\ of hay passes is common in the
rural districts all over the country.
1t is survival from that ancient ma
ture worship which manifested itself
in various cults and myths having to
do with the spirit of vegetation, the
personification of the "kindly fruits of
the earth" as the embodiment of a
god.
The growing crop is Osiris, Adonls
or Balder alive and the harvested crop
is the same gods temporarily dead.
At the gathering of all crops-the kill
ing of the god-the ancients were ac-
customed to practice solemn rites,
many of which in a MANNED form,
exist among us today as popular SUI
perstitions. A load Of hay is gath
cred crop-it is the body of Balder
which is passing, and wish upon a
load of hay is an appeal to the spirit
of that god for a fulfillment of the
wish.
Those who are inclined to question
the survival of ancient religions in
fragmentary form under the guise of
current superstitions should consider
that, without considering the signifi-
canoe of the fact at all, We still call

the direction toward which they nat

he will go through the world at the
tail end of the procession, blaming
others for his failure when the fault
really lies with his timid hands.
No two hands are cast in exactly
the same mold.
Each hand has an individuality, and
a peculiar ability and aptitude of its
own, just as has the brain, the con-
trolling force which directs the hand.
The world wants hands detached
from lusts and superstitions, disin-

JOHN LOCKE

TN GREAT contrast to the undemo-
L cratic teachings of the German
philosophers, are the gentler and far
more liberal ideas of the great English
thinkers.
There is Locke, for instance, the
great English philosopher, born al
most a century and a half before
Hegel. He was born in Somerset
shire, August 90, 1882. He studied at
Oxford, and developed fondness for
politics, theology, medicine and philos-
ophy and studied all of these. Thus
he fitted himself to look at subjects
from a mental, an abstract, a physical
and a religious point of view-certain-
ly taking comprehensive attitude.
A discussion among some friends,
ono day, concerning the human mind,
led to the beginnings of his Essay
Concerning Human Understanding"
which was not compiled, however, I'M
til twenty years of work had gone in
to it. Troubled times in politics sent
Locke and other liberal thinkers to
take refuge in Holland. He was well
in his fifties before he returned to
England, where he received all of $3.50
for his copyrights on the great les
say" He wrote, later, the Reason
ableness of Christianity" and died In
1904, in "sincere communication with
the whole church of Christ by what
ever names Christ's followers call
themselves"
The whole sum Of his teachings
was universal federation, freedom of
thought and action, almost opposite to
the preachings of the German think
ers.

the fact that Miss Bayes is considered

Paris have long been considered
synonymous.
Not that many of Miss. Bayes' cos
