Time’s Changes.

“Times shore change,” philosophically said Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. “Just tuther day, as it were nobody thought anything in perticklei if a feller took a demijohn to church under the back seat of his wagon, and after the sermon had grown sortei tiresome winked a few of his friends outside to help him lap it up and fool around and swap horses and mebbej fight a little in a general way. “But now, by grit, if he even smells of patent medicine on a week day he’s got to produce the omenick and p’inl out the place whur it says he’s got the deadly disease that he claims to have taken the medicine for.” —Kansas City Star.
