If by any chance you have some that I am missing, please be so kind to email me a text or word format of it so others may enjoy them.

"Old Tiler Talks" by Carl Claudy -1924

The Old Tiler first appeared in print in August, 1921 when the first of four hundred and fourteen "Old Tiler Talks" were printed in the Fellowship Forum, a fraternal newspaper published in Washington, D.C.
In 1925 the publisher (The Temple Publishers) asked the author to select a few of the best of the talks and thirty-one were accordingly made into a little volume, copyrighted in that year. 
By the time they were all sold the Fellowship Forum ran head on into the depression and disappeared and with it the Old Tiler.
The portrait of the Old Tile on the book jacket is the loving work of Brother Frank A. Stockwell of Buffalo, New Your, who has succeeded in getting the biting sarcasm, courage and philosophy of the Old Tiler into his kindly face.

"The Old Past Master" by Carl Claudy -1924

Of the 24 Old Past Master story-essays in this book, all but four were written for the Detroit Masonic News, to whose Editor, Douglas Martin, The Masonic Service Association is indebted for cooperation which makes this little book possible. The four stories included here which were not written for the Detroit Masonic News, were published in The Master Mason

"Rays of Masonry" by Dewey Wollstein -1953
