Their Indifference.

“Them city people don’t give a drat for anybody but themselves 1” grumbled old Riley Rezzidew of Petunia. “TfTey don’t care enough about a person to even look at him In passing, let alone take any interest in who he is or where he comes from, or ask what he ’lows the weather will be tomorrow, or even stop and size him up and spit and say, ‘Howdy! ’Pears like I’ve seen you some’rs,’ and in that way gradually work around to finding out what his name is—they actually don’t want to know what his name Is! And if they accidentally find it'out they never take the trouble to inquire if he is any kin to So-and-So. They just nacher’ly don’t give a hoot whether he is or not!” —Kansas City Star.
