Paying Bills

There's nothing more pleasant
than paving your bills, than pay
ing Your bills, at the time when
they re due, 1t sends through your
heart most enjoyable thrills, to
know that there nothing charged
up against YOU. You re making
the wheels OF Your village so
round, you re giving the workers
the best kind of aid. when YOU dig
from Your wallet the shilling and
pound. and pay up your bills in
the palace OF trade You re filling
the soul OF the merchant with
@lce. YOU re bidding the banker to
weep nevermore. YOU re hanging
new wrcathS on Your family tree,
when YOU pay up your bills at
the dotunnv store. That man IS
d hindrance and hurt to his town.
d brake on the wheels OF his own
neighborhood, who views the col
leCtor with whitening frown. who
doesn't pay up when the paving
is good. WALT MASON.
