His Glory These Days


There is one man just as bad as

auto splasher.
He is out today in all his glory.
IL he fails to ride through a puddle of
mud close to pedestrians on the side
walk, it is because he fails to see it.
Hundreds of men and women have
mad their clothes deluged with mud
during the last few days on account of
the determined destroyer.
Angered by the fact that he must
now give ordinary humans ample time
to cross the streets in the center of
the city. the splash demon looks eagerly
Tor mud piles and then rides through
them viciously.
All of which goes to show there is
a very practical reason for keeping
the streets clean.
