The Filipinos are evidently backing

concessions from Gen. Otis and the Anne
rican peace commissioners. But the signs
are that they are so thoroughly surround

our terms whatever they may be. Under
the circumstances, however, some
magnanimity on our part will prove a
good investment in the long run. If we
can modify their feelings toward us 1t

Nagging Collectors.

That vicious habit of nagginS col
lcctors who present bills Tor settlement
is much more prevalent in the business
world than is generally supposed.
There are some unfortunate individuals
who seem to be incapable of payin. Il
bill without indulging in some snccriny
and offensive remark. not always ui-
rect ut the collector personally. but
nevertheless offensive because intend
ed for his principal in Il mild sort of
backbiting fashion. The habit is not
always the evidence of ill-brccding. or
low breeding, or of inherently de-
PRAYED nature. Some very good men
arc often guilty Of it, led into it by
thoughtlcssness and the force Of eN-
ample, but oftcncr betrayed into it bv
irritability over some other matter
that has vcxcd them. This lattcrca,,sc
is evidence Of IL dcplorablc iniirmitv of
character and no man should engage
in business who has not sclf-control
enough to deal with every question on
its own merits, and not to vent his
spleen OH one person to CRAFTY his
resentment against another. Such
men Will never succeed in business,
and do not deserve to succeed, and
their efforts will only bring them an
antcpast of hell upon this earth with Il
fruition of it perhaps hereafter.
collectors arc very important
part of the complicated mechanism of
business. They arc generally young
men who are making their debut uDOn
the stage of life. They have come
into the business world from q social
atmosphere Of refinement and courtesy,
and are naturally shocked and some
times perverted by exhibitions of bear
ishness where they should find gen
tility and nanliness. Their intuitions
are as quick as their scnsibilitics, and
they rarely fail to size men ZIP for what
they are worth. They arc the coming
men of tho mart, destined to be mer-
chants. manufacturers, bankers, rail
road managers, and princes in other
departments of the business world, and
they never forget the first impression
may cost you many good turn before
you go over to the great majority.
"NOw there is another thing that
should be remembered in this cOnnec-
ton. The man that pays the collectors
bill is tho man that has received the
favor. According to any proper rule
of business ethics, or common justice,
uO litN y CuA1lcu tuC lllOuCy uInl-
self OF sent it to his creditor. But
when the creditor sends polite and
well-1ressed young man to collect the
bill especially after he has previously
delivered the goods at the debtors door,
it would seem to be matter of the
highest obligation on the debtors part
to put his heel firmly OH whatever of
the yaller dog that may be Juggling at
his nature, and to treat the young gen
tleman who is doing him the favor to
bring his account to him with marked
policy, present and prospective, to do
SO. IL you have grievance, real or
fancied, and if yOn must make an ex-
hibition OF yourself, go and see the
boss, and have it out with him. Maybe
he is the same sort of fellow you are,
and then it will be Greek meet Greek.
But remember that the collector is q
gentleman, and deserves consideration
as sueh."-P s::sezs ss551i77J (Ha.) inier.
