old man. He appeared to be demented,

finement and cared for, or he will perish
in his wanderings

Well it is no use, we have made
threats. and offered inducement to delin-
quent subscribers, and they read what we
say and smile serenely. 1t is just this
way. Suppose you have crib of corn
and all your neighbors would call on you
and get bushel and tell you that they

money in. See how ii is. Each man gets
little and thinks the amount too triiling
to pay.
