Figure Your Own Worth

Every man weighs himself and determines his own worth. We
earn what we deserve. All wages LIN not paid in coin. The men who
work only for money seldom have anything but money. And whether
they have much IT little of that they are soon forgotten by a world
eager to reward unsefsh deeds.
1t is common practice to blame the world for our own faults. When
your estimate of your work and the worlds estimate do not agree,
survey yourself before you curse the world.
1t is impossible to keep any man below the level of his attainments.
1t is as impossible to hold him above them.
Talent is the result of application. Efficiency is the reward for
practice.
Mere knowledge measures worth no more than lei muscle. The
skilled mechanic is master of his muscles. Undirected muscles Is n
directed brains, produce little and ae worth little.
Wit applied to one thing develops wisdom. Wisdom never achieves
when it wobbles Constant thinking and working ON consistent lines
produce results.
Opportunity never searches for him who does not search for oppor-
tunty.
Strength of will is the foundation of worth. Luck is a dangerous
pilot to put on your bridge. Influence may help you out of the harbor
of your birth, but it will lead you into the open sea without rudder
or sail or anchor.
History is the chronological story of men who have put real worth
into work. men who pushed a fixed purpose.
The fellow who will despise his job is the fellow who will always
have a job to deSpise.
1t is the dutydoer who establishes the worth which the world
recognizes and for which the world will pay in cash or honor.

tion on special calendar by tho grace of the rules committees can not be passed.
 Special Order Probable.
 The license schedule, compan- ion of the general revenue bill, is still on the house calendar. How ever, it is probable that it will be considered under special order dur ing the week.
 Among other measures of general interest which will appear on the house calendar during the week are:
 The bill providing a method where by Senator Oscar w Underwood can name the Alabama delegation to the democratic national convention if Alabama voters, in a preferential pri- mary, make him their choice for the democratic nomination for President.
 The bill of Senator Inzer of Eto- wah abolishing the gallows and pro- viding for the electrocution of con demned felons at Kilby prison. This measure provides for the purchase of an electric chair by the board of con- vict supervisors and for the transfer of the condemned persons to he pen- itentiary immediately after their conviction.
 The educational appropriation bills are also on the house calendar for
 
 continuation of present aprropria- tions for education and for increases in appropriations contingent on the ratification of the 4-inill tax amend ment.
 The senate will have before it the Tanning bill providing for sn ap- propriation of $75 a quarter for ev- cry Confederate soldier. It's fate cannot be told. Governor Brandon has said there can be no increases in appropriations unless additional revenue is obtained, and this declara- tion probably will apply to this ap- propriation as well as all others.
 When the house meets at 2 o'clock Tuesday it is expected that lively fight will develop over the Sunday legislation, which as yet has not been voted on by the house. Representa- tive Bealle Of Tuscaloosa gave mo- tice of a motion Friday. as required by the rules of the house. to require report from the committee on re- vision of laws, which has failed to make any report on the Sollie Sun day bill. which was referred to the committee on the same day that the Bonner bill was killed in the senate.
