lx . ttUkUii Uild.tt.UJ, Uh ttlfrii WfchUHd THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS BY, .WALDO PONDRAV WARREN DO MORE THE man who makes the bett progreia It the man wh does more than he le told. Some men think they have done their full duty when they perform certain routine work. They consider that they are being paid fifteen dollars a week for fifteen dollars' worth of work and they measure out the correct amount with as much care as the grocer meat ures out rice, putting In and taking out a few grains until the scales balance. But the progressive man goes about his work with the spirit of the athlete. The satisfaction of accomplishing a feat, and the knowledge that with each trial more skill la dcvel eped, farm one of the bsst Incentives to good work. The ath lete does not confine his practice to a certain number ef rune and Jumps, but keeps at It until he has achieved some greater degree of skill than he ever had before. He delights In at tempting harder and harder feats because It means more and more skill. Thus does the truly progressive man love his work. He does not consider that he Is working merely for his salary, nor for the house, but for himself for the development of hie Individual capacity and skill. He delves Into things not re quired of him, because he wants to gain power to do niorer because that Is the normal Impetus of a progressive mind. (Oot'jrlBht, 1W7, y Jolrh B. feowttl.)
