do not pay their honest debts great scamps, ex-
cept those who cheat on large scale Al men are
great sinners, except those who belong to the church
All men are allowed 10 think and speak freely, ex.
cept those who are not orthodox. All men are gen.
llemen, except those who work for q living. Al
~el-dtessed and accomplished women are ladies,
except factory and servant girls.I'hd. Ptnnsyiro.
