THE PITY OF IT.

WHEN the hoary hand of time
aouches your locks with gray and
ehislcs the records of the years across
your once placid brow when your
steps grow slow and lottery and your
voice weak and shivery, when
DE time m that you wor-
ry more about the knock of
Fhe grim-wreaper at your door than
aht proverbial VOLTS growl and your
eyes, dim and watery, have to peer
closely TO identify the face of a friend
whose voice fails to pierce the veil of
silence gradually closing about your
ears, the realization comes that after
all you might have lived a more useful
life toward your community and you
seek to recall those things Of u pub
be character whose constructive ma
sure will remain a lasting memorial
af your residence in a community.
1t is then that the opportunities for
aublic service that came rapping at
your door in multitudcs in your youth
and which you selhshly allowed TO con-
sirue to the door Of Jones or Smith,
where they were accorded an approp-
giate welcome and invitation to re-
