to pay the debt he owes to G, and so
on. BY prompt payments a small
sum of money can be made to cancel
a large sum of indebtedness. A ten
dollar bill, by passing from hand to
hand, probably often pays debts
amounting to hundred dollars in
side week. The most frequent ex-
cuse heard for the non-payment OF
bills by persons who are asked pay
ment is that they can collect no
money. In most instances this ex-
cuse is probably an honest one, and
a little reflection will convince any
man of the wisdom of thus keeping
money in circulation. The first of

occasionally compelled by circum-

to pay bills at short intervals for
nanv reasons. The creditor may

outstanding and may be seriously
embarrassed by their non-payment.
The longer bill remains unpaid the
harder it is to pay. To the man IN

small bill, but if he allows it to go
unpaid other bills may be added to
