An UnpOpular Man.

Bill collectors, who are only doing
their duty and trying to make other men
become honest and pay their just debts,
have a hard time Of it. Everybody
thinks it is his right to snub the bill col
lector. Poor fellow he is perpetually
trying to catch sight Of the man who has
Just gone round the corner, who will be
back in five minutes, SO the clerk says,
but who never comes back until the old
bill collector has gone. IL is on record
that by some strange fatuity OF fortune
a collector once found his debtor at
home. Such circumstance nearly took
his breath away, for, like the Wandering
Jew, he had been flying from pillar to
post for nearly year, and had never
once found the right man in the right
place but he took out his battered wal
let and presented the account, yellow
with age, and humbly asked for settle-
ment. i" You must call again, was the
stern, imperative demand Of the man,
who never intended to have money
enough to pay that bill. The victim
with the threadbare clothes and the
worn-out shoes suggested that it was not
easy to 20 up three flights Of stairs three
times day in order to find the ominous
word tout on the office door: "Well, J"
said the naughty debtor, perhaps You
would like to have me rent room on the
first floor for the sake of my creditors.
The old bill collector uttered deep sigh,
put his wallet back into his pocket, and
walked into back alley where his home
was, while the iaunty debtor sprang into
his landau and went up to the park for a
drive. Such is life.

The Kind Of Country New Mexico 1


Gen. Lew Wallace does not give
very encouraging account Of New Mex
leo. He says:
"The southern portion of New Mex
ico and Northern Old Mexico is infested
by bands Of thieves, robbers and mur-
derers, many OF whom are wanted in the
East to answer for crimes committed.
They think no more Of killing man
than Of shooting game. They rob the
miners Of their horses, mules and other
property. They rob anybody they lay
their hands on. If man resists they
kill him. The property and life Of no
one are safe from them. When Depu-
" Marshal, armed with authority and
backed by his posse, gets after them
they go over into Old Mexico, and laugh
at their pursuers. The latter cannot
stay there watching them and neglect
ing their own business. As soon as
they retire the outlaws come back into
New Mexico, and go to robbing and
killing again"
