The divine injunction in the sweat
of thy face shalt thou eat bread has
no relevancy to the citizens OF The rvs
civilized tribes. Here are people
who. like the lilies of the fields, "toil
not: neither do they spin" furnishing
an example of class favoritism under

study, says Harper's. The landlords
have no care but the gathering OF
rents and a general supervision OF the
home place. They are, as class,
free-handed, reckless, good livers and
with a strong tendency to dissipation
Most of them live up to their incomes
and few acquire large bank accounts.
Your typical landlords home is the
rambling white-plantation great house
of ante-bellum days, with wide gal
leries, big chinneys and usually IN a

ness and neglect pervades the yard, TO
which is added a lack of taste inside

The tortured man slept no more that
night, and al the break of day re
