when 1t 10 due than wait to beduuned
bya collector. Our subscription list is
growing rapidly and our job work is 80
great now that our whole force is en-
gagged in the office with no time to run
out and dunn good people for the mon
ey We are certain they are wiling to
pay and would bring or send to the
off se if they thought We desired it.
Friends come TO the office TO tell US
to send the collector to their houses to
get the money and never once think
how easy 1t would have been to have
brought it with them and saved trouble
and expense.
We now say to all honest subscribers
who know they owe the paper, to seDd
or bring the money In at once as we
need it IN our business. We bslieve
hundreds win do this without another
word and we knew there are scores of
dead beats who will nos de it. Such
persons do not intend to pay up any
way and the only way we expect to
get the money out Of that class Of peo-
pie ia to turn them over TO collection

A fashlonabIe dress maker In this
city who boasts of being an honorable
lady, ran an ad in our paper several
months and because we thought her
perfectly hoLest aud high toned, We
RETAINED from dunpIng her for the
money.
Finally when We sent a polite COL
lector and asked her to pay us little
money she insultingly refused to .see
the collecter-a little boy-and sent
him word out to take her ad out Of the
paper: and has not paid fCx it to this
day, but sings, "Jesus paid it all "
Such character are found now and
then by ali business men aud We pro-
pose soon to give these piokpockets a
little surprise that will not only make
their confidence game little more
costly to them but will go far towards
assisting other business men in solving
the problem as to how TO Get even with

cursed class of spongers are indeed few

people in Chicago and we believe every
honest man and woman in the city
will thank us when we put the screws
Oh them. Only one dress MAKER in all
