AN OLD BREED UNDER NEW CoNDT

AN OLD BREED UNDER NEW CONDITIONS
Do you see the blue smoke curling
lazIly up from that chimney and spread
ing out over the green wheat field be-
yOnd those tall cottonw woods? Well,
there lives one of the oldest guys you
will encounter in a seven days run in
your new Jackson Aprabbit. He is a
prOfessed Christian. When he reads
about God making the earth for man
he strips the word man" of its col
lective sense and seems TO think that he
is that man. When he drives out on
the highways with his team he acts
this obnoxious sentiment out to perfec-
ton. When an automobile comes up
behind him and toots for legal passage
his face takes on divine set while he
holds the road and lets it toot He is
known among automobile men as a
pedigreed road hog. A species of
humanity that reads the Bible much
and practices the very thing it con
dennis Now when this fellow gets the
auto he is now talking about buying he
will doubtless retain this sentiment and
arrogantly run down the team that
dares to obstruct the swift flight of his
car. Possibly his present meanness is
digging a ditch for his own machine
and the destruction of his joy ride can
be traced to his own selfishness. Thank
GOd such characters are scarce around
here, but when one does spring up and
creeps into the house of God and go to
/ prating about Christianity and the
Golden Rule he is a local calamity to
the cause-an embodied, living, moving,
Shiny lie. When these standard bred
road hogs get an automobile they are a
public menace.
Alarming symptoms appear ed on Ike
