PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

All summer I have been out West, where people go from home to rest, among the snow-sapped hills, to be away from office chairs, and city noise and business cares, and all the workday ills. I saw a million, less or more, and most of them found rest a bore, and longed to be back home, where each could for some dollars chose, and' plan new business schemes and place more gray hairs on his dome. So few of us know how to rest! By mad ambition we’re possessed to nail another bone, to add one large round dollar more, one shining doubloon to the store that we already own. We cannot lay our harness down, forsake the hot and bustling town, and have a restful time; we fear that while repcTe we take, some other feljow, more awake, might beat us to a dime. And so Vacation finds us sore; we walk the mountains or the shore, and fume and sigh and fret; we yearn for cares we left behind, and tell our wives the beastly grind is still the one best bet. Alas, we've never learned to rest, to let our work slide galley west, to slumber and relax; we do not like to pace life’s road unless we bear a galling load upon our creaking backs.

When a heavy bolt of lightning recently struck a giant oak tree in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and cut the tree from the ground, it made a finely carved profile -of Kaiser Wil-, helm in war costume, and the boys found great pleasure in trying to knock the spike off the helmet With brickbats. A small metal paddle clamped to either rear wheel of the automobile which has become stuck in the mud will help the car out in less time than it takes to adjust tire chains. It is said that Germany contributes about $3,737,000 a year for the support of her ruler, AustriaHungary $4,567,000 and Turkey $5,000,000. Pressed steel is crowding out other materials—gray iron, malleable castings, wood, brass and aluminum—in the manufacture of automobiles. Now Mr, Middleman is beginning to wonder if he hasn’t been caught between the upper and nether millstone.
