Is it what one or the other thinks, or the way either ttinks concerning matters of action? Or is it the fact that in the executive certain will abilities ere In- tensively at work? There is no doubt but that in the individual the will is the source of ability to set one at work, to go at the tasks of the day with intention mucceed. ‘We can realize how our intellect plans courses of action, we can al- most feel how it thinks out the prob- ems of our day's or our year’s work. We know there is something different im the forces that plan our ideas and those that compel us to act, or to seek to direct or control others. ‘The executive energies are them- selves forceful; it is their nature to express action, to dea! with outward and so-called objective matters. They are the fre in the mental engine; they are the power that moves the human machine at the direction of the intel- lect ae engineer, Ail this means that the will carries owt our purposes; ft is the administrative part of our men- tality, It uses the body to express force; it stimulates us into com- manding ourselves or others. ‘We hear much to-day about being an executive, about executive posi- tions, executive methods and execu- tive power, We know what it means that a man has the ability to gow ern and direct others; that the «x- ecutive position is one where final de- elsions of policy are made; that ex- ecutive methods are methods of con- trol or\of immediate action, But that every man has executive power in some degree, that that power is the product of a number of abilities to work as an operative force we do not always realize, Ne!- ther do we often stop to consider the fact that executive power can be cul- tivated by turning it into useful work or can be wasted by expending its energies upon useiess methods and purposes, ‘The combination that makes effec- ported from Belgium and Germany, the remainder being of home manu- facture.

An addi- tion of @ secondary amount of cau- tion will prevent hasty and ill-con- sidered actions; there should be enough integrity to insure honorable fulfilment of contracts and verbal agreements; there is needed enough defensiveness and aggression to war- rant persistence and grit in overcom- ing obstacles; there should be an ad- mixture of destructive forces to throw away not only old or obsolete machinery in the industrial plant or factory, but also the senile or obsolete in the executive head or the office management. An old ittea, because it once worked, is sometimes the hardest ting in the world to kill. On the other hand, there are plenty of old heads with many new ideas in them. Sometimes they may need polishing up a little, may need the tonte of praise or en- seouragement, sometimes the voluntary association of more youthful views, and then their very mass of practical knowledge establishes tts own worth, shows that thay have buikied well their own trade, ‘The executtve with a balanced con- structive vision and destructive sense, with the precision of experi- ence coupled with enough mental freedom to meet the onrush of new conditions, is close to the ideal. But how about the man at hia desk, or the mechanic at his bench, or the clerk at the counter? It is a grave mistake to think that these do not need executive force. It is un- wisefor themselves not to arouse their Own executive energies, If it seem ambitious to do go, then is ambition wil; for is not normal ambition the purpose to do well, the will to rise, the vote to carry on, the tonic to fatigue, no less in the man who creates the product than in the man whe @reots ite utility destiny, or co- ordinates the actions of many men, A.

The Romance of Words By James BRHAPS very few of us have in mind the exact implication of many words which are com- monty used. For instance, when we speak of a man as a “toady” it prob- ably ts not our intention to say that he is an eater of frogs, But that is the term's true significance, “Toady” has an interesting history, which is bound up with another old friend—mountebank. And this also ls @ slightly deceptive word. Origi- nally !t was applied to a quack doc- tor, and meant mounted a bank or bench to tell about the miracies which his reme- dies would wring about. As a means of helping matters along and keeping the crowd inter- ested these mountebanks usually car- ried with them a kind of clown whose spectaRy was to apparently eat frogs, devour flames, &c.

Its story is briefly told—jack of apes The word first was heard in England when showmen began to exhibit apes. Immediately the public fancy dictated that the men who attended these creatures must be called “jack o’ nape” And this soon was trans- formed into “Jackanapes.” * “Jack” ts used as a prefix for nu- merous other words which are strongly “expressive, “Jack of all of the most familiar, “jack pudding” as ap- plied to a braggart. “Jack tar” is an- other familiar one, and “jack-a- dandy” formerty was used as a sighting term for a dandy. We often hear that some person has been made a “scapegoat,” and all of us understand that they have been forced to accept the blame for others. The first syllable of the werd of course comes from “escape,” and it was linked up with “goat” by a very ancient custom of the Jews. Among certain of the tribes of Judea it was the practice for a priest to symboli- cally place the sins af the tribe on the head of a goat upon stated occasions, ‘The goat then was permitted to es- cape imto the wilderness, presumably taking the tribe's sins with him.

Damage suits or set- ting secret society candidates on fire?” asked Mr. Jarr. “No, but thobe dreadful fraternity societies that encourage a boy to do such things.” “I don't see how « fraternity so- ciety could encourage a. boy to set himself on fire.” “The boy didn't set himself on fire, The one initiating him did that,” said Mrs. Jarr, ‘Please don't be so inten- tionally dul while trying to be in- tentionally funny!” “I don't think you should talk to your busband ike that!” said Mrs. Mudridge-Smith, who hed dropped tn. “I wish my husband would argue with me once in a while. It’s just ‘No, dear,’ ‘Yes, dear,’ with him. I can understand why women love men that beat them. Sometimes I wish mine would beat me.” “You woukin’t wish it if he did,” said Mrs. Jarr. “You should be very happy, Clara.
