THURSDAY, MARCH 21ST., 1918.
A few days ago the writer was in
Columbia and while walking down
Main Street his attention was attract
ed by a cry. A little boy was riding
a wheel and in some way lost his bal
ance, pitching headlong to the side
walk A white man ran out into the
street and. after assisting the little
darky to his feet, carried the bicycle
to the edge of the curb. A kind-faced
eld lady saw the boy sitting on the
curb crying She stopped to pat him
en the head and ascertain if he was
badly hurt. There were many of his
ewa race on the street at the time bat
set eae offered any assistance to the
boy, they seeming to think the

MR. SIMPKINS PAYS
< HIS INCOME TAX
•y ROBKRT McBLAIR.
Mr,' Simpkins gased at the portrait
on the wall till hit eyee filled with
tears. It was a portrait of his father,
Colonel Simpkins, w.ho had four times
been promoted for valor during the
Civil W ar and had died bravely on the
field of action. Mr. Simpkins' throat
ached now for two reasons: First, he
reverenced and adored the memory of
his father; secondly, hi* age and hi*
eye* tnd hi* game leg wouldn't let him
go to wi.r himself. And a* he observed
the martial hearing and uncompromis
ing gate of Colonel Slmpkln* he saw,
In Imagination, the khak! clad lads of
the new generation marching forth and
creasing three thousand mile* of sea to
fight, maybe die, for liberty.
Mr. Simpkins peered around to make
sure that neither Bess nor John (who
were at the teasing ages of sixteen
and seventeen) were''where they could
see him, then he straightened and
threw his right arm up for a salute.
But hla gouty shoulder twinged, and he
groaned. He couldn't even salute.
u Damnt" said , Mr. Simpkins, and
with his other hand fiercely twirled his
white mustschloa.
He turned and limped Into the li
brary and sat down ~reaklly before the
mahogany desk on which were lying
the blanks for hit Income tax state
ment, blank*'which he had rather
grumpily got from the Internal Reve
nue officer only that day after lunch
eon on hla way home from the Hob.
Mr. Simpkins' Income for 19tT had
•mounted to just shout 818,000, and he
had been rather snappy on the sub
ject of taxes ever since be bed discov
ered that the more Income a own has
the greeter the percentage of It ke
pays la tax** He canid think of sev
eral men who, like him sett were mar*
yet.

He thought next of Judge Wlllough-
by. whose Income was about 93JI00.
“He only pays 830." commented Mr.
Simpkins, not quite so angrily this
time: and then a thought struck him
and he sat tip lirtdly In his chair.
Judge Willoughby's son had been
drowned on the Tuscan!* when It whs
Kuhtiittrlned with the loss of two hun
dred soldier*
“Judge Willoughby gave his son to
America,** muttered Mr. Simpkins.
He Ruined forward suddenly and put
his face In his hands. t ,
For a long time Mr Simpkins sat
very still In that position. There was
no sound In the library except the
ticking of the tall clock and an occa
sional trill of laughter from the chil
dren skylarking upstairs. The square
of light on the carpet gradually with
drew Itself through the window, and
first twilight and thHi darkness settled
in about the quiet, white haired, some
times Irascible old man.
Mr. Simpkins was thinking things
which he would never afterward speak
of, he was thinking things that were
too sacred ever to be put Into words.
But some Inkling of his thoughts may
he found in his rejoinder to Mrs.
Simpkins 'when that placid lady lame
In and turned on the lights, and asked
him whether he was ready for dinner.
"Judge Willoughby's only son was
worth as much as fourteen hundred
and thirty-four dollar*, wasn't he?"
Mr. Simpkins demanded of her.

his superflrial irritations, watched him
