And all of us know the colossal

who has never supported himself but
who takes unto himself a wife and lays
pthe burden of her support on fathers

Apparently it never occurs to these
parasitic children what a cruel and
brutal thing they do They never seem
to think hat when parents raise their
children to maturity they have done
their full duty by them. and that the
children have no right to expect to be
supported any longer, still less
right to thrust their own children's
support on them.
To bring up a family of children is
for a poor man and woman a long sue

labor, and scrimping, and saving, of
sacrifices, and selfish devotion to her
brood.
And the old people look forward to a
