MUCH TRUTH.-No one denies put what it is
desperate work collecting money nowadays,
and the printer is the last one to receive his
due. The following lines from an exchange is
the daily experience of printers: Last week a
man stepped up to US and said he would pay US
every cent he owed us if he lived until Satur-
day night. We haven't seen him since and
presume he died on Friday. Another said he
would pay us in a day or two, as sure as we
were born. Query-did the man lie or were we
never borne Another said he would settle as
sure as shooting. We arel led to the conclusion
that shooting is uncertain. Another said he
hoped to go to the devil if he did not pay us in
three days. Have not seen him since, suppose
he's gone, but we trust he has not hoped in
vain. Quite number said they would see us
tomorrow. These men have been stricken
blind, or else tomorrow has not come. One
man told us six months ago that he would pay
us soon as he got some money. The man
would not lie, and, of course, hasn't had ee at
since, --..-r
