Show GOOD THING AT TIMES NOT TO KNOW WH-RE YOUR NEXT MEAL IS COM. NO FROM In tho October American Magazine David Grayson author of "Adventures In Contentment," writes a sketch entitled en-titled "Tho Friendly Road," in which he describes a tramp ana philosophizes philoso-phizes on tramping. Tho following is an cxtratct: In a book I redd not long ago tho i ter provides In his Imaginary per-it per-it stato of society a class of leaders lead-ers known as Samurai. And from tmio to tlmo It Is tho custom ot theso .Mimural to cut themselves loosj from il o crowding world of men, nnd wit J 1 ctks on their backs go away alono t far off places in tho deserts or on rtlc Ico caps. I am convinced that miu needs somo such change as taU an opportunity to think things out, to id a new grip on life, and a new lold on God. Hut not for me tho Art-c Art-c Ico cap or tho desert! I choose the Friendly Road and all tho common eoplo who travel In It or live along t I choose oven tho busy city at the ml of It. I assure you, friend, that It Is a .vonderful thing for n man to cast himself freely for a time upon ths Actld, not knowing whero Ms next .:enl Is coming from, nor where he Is .o!ng to sleep for the night. It is c -urpiising readjuster of values. I aid my way I think, throughout my llgrlmago; but 1 discovered thnt stamped metnl Is far from being the world's only truo coin. As a mater of fact, there nro many things that men prlzo moro highly because they are rarer and moro proclous. |
