crack and every son of SOW will jump ON
him and tear him TO pieces. just so with
men. As long as man is prosperous
and has money he can't keep friends OF
| with "A base ball bat. The moment he is
unfortunate and his money is gone, he is
not only snubbed by his former alleged
friends, but they at once begin To do BIN
all the harm possible. When he starts
down grade, the world steps to one side
and greases the track.
