GETTING A START.

Southcra Pacific Railroad. one of the
greatest and most successful officials OF
his class. now he obtained his first raise
of salary. lie replied:
''Onc word will say all there is TO tell
about it-work. | never did anything

iion came. and with 1t increased earn

about il. hut merely persistent effort

questions. to hundreds, yes thousands
OF representative business and profess

tional regulations. There was a similar
ity to their answers. for practically all
OF them either started in as Mr.. Hosburgh
did. by emphasizing work, or else brought
work into another part of their replies.
] am not so materialistic as to think
that persistent and continuous work, un-
relieved by any diversion is the universal
panacea for all failure and the secret OF
all success: for l believe that play is
second only in importance to work. that
good work is dependent to a large ex-
tent upon good play. and that the man
who works all the time accomplishes
less than he who works when he should
work and plays when he should play, rem
dering to play and to work what both
deserve. Yet I wish to say. with all
the emphasis that print is capable of ex-
pressing. that he who does not work.
work honestly, work systematically.
work persistently, he who does not love
work. is never going to amount to any
thing In any department of business or
in any other field OF accomplishment

In plain and simple fool, and I should
use stronger word IL the dictionary

spected by his kind.
Is there anything more despicable. ex-
eept moral coward. than a strong, able
bodied man, a man with some latent
ability. who fritters his time away, with
no definite aim. on definite ideals. no def
mite work In life? He isn't even in the
same class with the butterfly, for the
latter contributes its gift OF beauty for
the good of the world. The idle man con-
tributes nothing worth while, he has no
excuse for existing. He receives but he
does not give. He enjoys what others !
have struggled to produce. and offers
nothing In return. He is q parasite, Hv-
ing on the results of others labors.
Work and you may succeed-you prob

sure to fail.

Latin origin.
An interesting bearer Of one Of these
names in modern times is Sir Patience
Ward, who was born in England in 162s.
Now, Patience is correctly a girls name:
but SO disappointed was the father Of
Patience when a son instead of
daughter was born to him, that he gave
the child a girls name
Patience's father died when the boy
was seven years old, and his mother
educated him for the church. But Pa
tience became interested in mercantile
life. and was. therefore. apprenticed to
a merchant tailor for eight years. Later.
after his marriage, he set up in business
for himself in Poultney's Inn, London.
Patience rose rapidly, not only in the
world Of business, but in the world Of
affairs. He was made sheriff on Mid
summers Day. 1910. and ten years later
was elected lord mayor Of london. In
the meantime he was knighted by the
king. James II. Thus q man bore
woman's name to fame.
Increase might be called a name OF
virtue: certainly it was SO considered
among the Greeks. who called one of the
Graces. or Charities, Increase. In this
country the name gained fame as the
name of the famous New Englan
clergyman. Increase Mather, elected
president Of Harvard College in 1855, and
father of an equally famous sor an
other New England divine. Cotton
Mather.

Mildred is an old Anglo-Saxon name,
and means mildly strict. There were
several other names of mIdness. but
Mildred Is the only one which has en-
dured. One of its earliest bearers was
Mildred, or NIildryth. as the name used

as popular as Mildred. They were Mil

were canonized, SO that modern Mildreds
have a patron saint. She was the first
abbess Of the monastery Of Mlnistre. and
she was noted. as one of the name should
be, for her mildness and goodness.
modern bearer OF this name was
Lady Mildred Burleigh. who was born
at Milton. England. In 1896 She. too, was
noted for goodness. She married Sir
William Cecil, Lord Burleigh, privy coun-
cellor to Queen Elizabeth. Lord and.
Lady Burleigh helped her husband in
much Of his rather arduous work. She
died in 1889, and after her death Lord
Burleigh wrote some ''Meditations" on
his loss. which throw some light on his
gentle wife's life.
-Four times in the year" he wrote,
"she sent. secretly, to all the prisons In
London money to buy bread, cheese and
beer for 400 persons" He also tells us
that she gave literally, often without

constipation by diet and a regular
set Of exercises. I am better, but am
still troubled occasionally. am going
through business anxieties. Do you
think mental conditions could. possi-
bly, influence this trouble?"
Most certainly yes. The functions
of the alimentary canal are controlled
automatically by the nerves. Cheerful
ness is a great regulator, while worry
and anxiety produce sluggish intes-
tinal activity. Acute fright or fear
stop absorption in the bowels. The
nervous system completely controls the
muscular movement or peristalsis, Of
the intestines. Acute fear is often re-
laxing in its first effects and subse-
quently depressing. Prolonged worry
may bring about most of the -diges-
tive disturbances.
