Mr.. Jarr was about TO say that It

Jarr millions had finally been dissi-
pated in luxurious expenditures, for
which his opulent family had been so
long notorious. But he saw 1t was

plain as day. This man always did
so much-for so much. He worked
for his wages-and got them; and no
| more.
He never for a moment put himself
in the employers place. Promptly at
quitting time, he quit, and called 1t a
day. He had no responsibility. He
let tho other fellow assume that and
he did Just what he was told.
A wise soul has said: people who

are never paid for any more than
they do" And there Is largely the
secret of many people who stand still.
They are unwilling to bear any bur-
dens or be responsible for the actual
accomplishment OF the work on hand.
They insist on doing n particularly
cut t-and-dried piece of work which
they have agreed 10 do, and there
their responsibility ends.
These are the people who when asked
to do something a little different from
their accustomed routine will answer
Il wasn't hired to do that; I'm not sup

do It," And therefore they are allowed
to do Just the kind Of work for which
they are hired.
Then they wonder why they have not
| progressed. and they call themselves
"unlucky" and Just stand still. They
have no initiative to look about them
or study the work OF the man ahead
so that some day they may get into his
| shoes when he goes out.
They do not take any Interest in the
actual output of the work at hand. but
in their pay envelope. Many OF these
| people are honest and think they have
done their duty when they have FER

them. Perhaps they have done theil
duty to the employer and earned theiI
full wages, but they have not done
! their duty to themselves.
This duty lies In the direction o.
