THE OLD MAN WAS BUSY.

Young man, | heard you say
the other day that the old man
was away behind the times. You
meant we suppose, your father.
Possibly you don t know how he
came to be behind the times. He
was so busy trying to make a
living for you that he didn't
have time to post up. He could
not waste his precious hours
throwing the machine over into
high speed so the wind could
clear out his eyes. He forgot to
stand around the street corners
and listen to idle gossip. He
failed to attend baseball games
and lost out On the rules. He
doesn't even know who is the
champion prize fighter or the best
hitter in the American league. II
he were forced to pick out
new necktie he would take one
four years old. Same way with
a hat or a pipe or a pair Of shoes.
Had the old man tried to keep up
with the procession you would be
in sorry shape. You wouldn't
have three or four new suits a
year and the latest shaped hat.
You would likely have some sense
in your head instead of lot Of
fool notions. The next time you
make a crack about the old man
being behind the times, just
think of a few Of these things
