Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 229, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 September 1913 — The Rich Man’s Envy. [ARTICLE]

The Rich Man’s Envy.

A rich man looked upon a poor man, And there was envy in his breast: The lucky rich man wore fine raiment, The other was but poorly dressed. The rich man’s fingers blazed with jewels, Ten thousand men his will obeyed; The poor man’s hands were big and knotted And marred with bruises toil had made. The rich man, as he stood there gazing, Forgot- Iris power in the land. And envied the dovfn-trodden poor man. For he could shave with either hand.
