II rs Different Now

When Willie was little boy
1t was his deep delight
To watch the trolley cars go by
From early morn TIL night;
BY the nurs'ry window all day long
He'd revcl in the sight.
But now. as on the crossing cold,
He, frozen, stands in wait,
And sees the trolley car go by.
And knows he will be late,
He is not happy. Nor his words
The kind we'd like TO state.

How a Young Lawyer Collected Bills From
Chicago Camblers

How Young Lawyer Collected Bills From
Chicago Gamblers.
A young attorney just starting out in
his profession in Chicago was commits
stoned 10 collect number of bills by
prominent tailor of the town. All these
accounts Were against gamblers. Some
of them had been sued on and judg-
ment had been obtained. These judg-
ments, however, had not been collected.
A liberal percentage was offered the
lawyer if he could succeed in collecting
any of them. The attorney had his own
notion as TO how to go to work ON these
accounts and listened TO the tailor's ad-
vice about "going for them hot" with
dubious smile.
He selected bill of $75 for one suit
of clothes against quite noted knight
Of the green cloth and proceeded to try
his plan. Calling ON this man, he told
him that he had not come TO threaten
him with a lawsuit or to bluff him; that
il the bill was correct he would call at
any time the debtor would designate
for a part or the whole of the bill; that
if the debtor would say he would not
pay the bill the lawyer would not call
again: that all he asked was square
deal; that he would call only when the
debtor made an appointment 10 pay
money, as he did not propose to inaugu-
rate a system of 'dunning.
The gambler heard him through with
a perfectly impassive face and then said:

know their business They tried TO bluff
me, and they 'duhned' me. Your game
is a square one, and I'll give it whirl

On being told Of the other accounts
he sat down, took a dozen of his cards,

the attorney, Hand one of these to each
