The individual who goes about adj
monishing his fellow-men to lay aside
| the well worn garments of conserva-
tiyeneSs and Jump into what he terms
the better and newer ones of ''up-to-
date" is like the person who puts on
a sanctitied and -than-thou,
sort of air, usually to cover up his
own shortcomings; he is usually so far
behind the real 'up-to-date' process
sion, that he is in the old fogy class,
without one chance in thousand of
ever getting out of it and making a
decent living by his own honest efforts.
Some of these old fogies are supposed
to have brains, but usually they have
no manners, but as some one has said
''the consensus of general opinion is
that the man wsso goes about with
porcupine quilts as his manners hasn't
any brains worth bothering about"
