Dugdale, have established the fact that criminals, paupers, imbeciles, drunkards, prostitutes, and other degenerates frequently spring from the same family stock. A very large percentage of the prisoners in our prisons have come from more or less degenerate family stocks.
"We have food and shelter and sunshine and the sisters. Ah, that little Sister Denisa, she is indeed a smile of God to us all.

On the top of the pyramid, at the report of the rifle, all had fallen down flat on their faces, and it was over them that I had rushed to Almah's side. But these now began to rise, and the hags took up the corpse of the dead, and the paupers swarmed around with cries of "Mut! mut!"

When Christ told the young man to sell his goods and give them to the poor, He didn't tell him to be careful about making them paupers.

"I've heard it straight that every pauper had a suit o' clothes, a coffin, a six-foot grave, and a headboard comin' to him from the County. That's the law." "Look here, Lem, use a little sense. Now what's the use spendin' County money on these paupers from God knows where? That's a good blanket." "Oh, yes, that's a peach of a blanket. Kind of a shame to waste such a good blanket, ain't it?
