were llnNhed.
It Is a town where the upper class
Is distinguished by wearing collars und
shoes and performing no manual labor
where the "lower class'' Is ragged and
poverty-stricken and where life goes
on from year to year In a state of Iner-
tia which nobody seems to lind unde-
sirable. The unfinished churches gltc

pas-uue "of time until they remind a
traveler of the ancient SpnnNh edl-
