SLAVES OF BUSINESS. fs.f+ Il
In our complicated modern life, man may
get together an enormous mass of property and
yet never hecomea king of business. There
are kings and there slaves of business, and
it is not till man has made fortune that we
can certainfytell to which of these classes he
belongs. .'-@
