From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
"One Of the most curious social organi-
cations in the world, said an old reporter,
was a collectors club. which formerly
existed in certain southern city which l
would rather not name for fear of hurting
somebody's feelings. 1t was founded about
six years ago by a journalist who once en-
joyed national reputation, and who is per-
sonally the most delightful fellow that ever
was. One of the eccentricities of his ge-
MUS however, was a deep-seated aversion
to paying bills, and as consequence he
usually carried in his wake a large retinue
of collectors Lots of people can stand off
collectors artistically, but he was said to
be the only man on earth who ever sue
ceeded in borrowing money from them.
One afternoon to get to the point, he was
cornered in his Office by about a dozen of
those individuals and proposed to them that
they organize a club. You can call on me
every day, he said and aside from the
exercise, you derive no special benefit from
your visits. Now why not make these oc-
casions of mutual improvement? Let us
form ourselves into club in which we can
debate matters of interest, such as new
wrinkles in dunning and the best systems
of standing people off, The idea was SO
whimsical that all hands agreed, and they
proceeded then and there to organize col
letters club, with the colonel-if you will
permit me to so style hin-as president.
They used to meet three times a week, and
their discussions were the richest things
on record. When the colonel finally an
nounced that he had received little wind
fall and was going to settle up all around
and go north the members were heart
broken. They tried to continue the thing
after his departure, but it was no go; the
spirit of the organization had vanished.
After a few meetings they disbanded.
