Something to
Think Ab0uf
THE MASKED ToLLMEN
By r. Il. WALKER

A S WE wend our way through the
"A years, the hidden tollmen along
the roads we SO boldly travel become
more and more imperlous in their de-
mands and fill our journey with a
thousand cares and complexities.
What to us was beautiful five or six
years ago has SO changed in aspect
and general appearance that we can
find no pleasure in Its presence.
AS we leave the old milestones be-
hind we pick up something as we pro-
ceed that adds weight to our feet, fall
Ing so gradually upon US that we
scarcely notice 1t, but when for some
reason we would run, possibly to make
haste, we discover that we must stop
while and settle our account with
the masked tollmen.
We try to explain that we are not
in debt, that we have been punctilious
in all our settlements. but when our
account is produced we ind that we
have drawn rather heavily. and at our
own risk, on precious physical savings
we imagined were unimpaired.
There Is a little blur in our vision.
slight futter at the heart and a
manifest impatience over tribes. 70 our
tollmen tell us seriously to pay.
We naturally think 1t will 60 easier
with us If we cancel our obligations
gracefully. but as matter Of fact 1t
makes no difference.
For as soon az one debt IL paid
we begin to pile up another; we are
never content to live in an atmosphere
where risk of life and health IL at a
minimum, or where we can get wholly
away from the humiliating custom Of
making apologies.
We continue to find fault with things
for which we alone are to blame. Our
extravagant habits are continued,
though we know they are taking us to
ruin, SO when the tollmen come along
and demand our last dollar, we pay
grudgingly, and often with great deal
of unnecessary verbal emphasis.
The fact is, even with our protesta-
tions at being robbed during the day
and while we sleep, we are ourselves
the principal culprits. Under the
adroit manipulation of the tollmen we
have become helpless. They 60 forth
seeking gold, and in transferring 1t
from our pockets to theirs they show
us that they know their business better
than we know ours, and that they care
not a whit for the sting of conscience.

1T MAYBE TAKES
A MINUTE
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

T MAYBE took minute, friend, for
you to send wire,
A little. too, you had to spend, a little
of your hire.
But right across the world 1t came.
across the plains and hills,
And here 1t is, and here's your name,
and here the room 1t fills
With words of love as bright as flame
and sweet as whippoorwills.
It maybe took minute, dear, to write
a little line,
A letter when grief was near, was
near to me and mine.
But right across the world 1t went,
across the lakes and lands
The little letter that you sent is here
within our hands
And, oh, how much your message
meant God knows and under
stands!
It maybe takes minute, men and
women here and there,
To stop a little now and then our
happiness to share,
But right across the world it goes. a
word, look, smile,
Through summer sun and winter SHOWS
1t travels many mile
And helps more hearts than you sup
pose that need 1t all the while |!
