A Contrast.

The other day two neighboring
farmers came to town. One rode in
his auto and before he attempted to
transact business, carefully blanketed
the radiator. The other came in bug
gy and tying his horse to hitch rack
rushed into his favorite~ store to
warm by the fire.
And there the poor horse stood
shivering exposedte the wintry blast,
while few feet away the senseless
steed of iron was carefully protected.
Think of this contrast, My Friend.
When you drive to town, don't let
the poor dumb beast whose strong
and faithful muscles have pulled you
through the winters storm, suffer
while you yourself are safe in shell
ter. Give your horse decent treat
ment. That is all he asks. And you
owe it to your own manhood to do
this.-Clinton Democrat.
