no way regarded as a necessary or even 4

reasons why dates should recommend

Confessions Of a Col
leCtOr.

The life of collector is by, no
means peaceful one, and a person
in search Of a quiet, uneventful
existence had better seek the army
or navy than enlist in the most
strenuous of callings-that of a
collector.
To become a successful collector
one must be possessed of all the
cardinal virtues; one must be per-
sistent and wide-awake and have a
large fund of patience and charity.
One must be possessed of tact and
above all an unfailing confidence
in the goodness of humanity. For
unless you have an unbounded
faith in humanity many of your
ideals will be dethroned and the
first days work as collector will
convince you that all the world is
bad and that all humanity is
banded together to evade the pay
ment of debts. You are likely to
become soured and to believe that
a Diogenes in the present age
would need more light than that
of an ancient lantern to find an
honest man. If your first expert
ence sours you or shakes your con-
fdence in mankind. your useful
ness as collector is past, as the
world will respond to a smile
quicker than it will to a frown.
When you present the tailor's
bill to the swell looking young
man and he tearfully tells you that
his last dollar has been spent in
burying his uncle on the previous
day, do not be shocked or sur

We all have heard that Hiram's dad
Went to New York one day,
To plant his coin (Which sure is bad)
A feelin' fine and gay.
And there he met one Oily Slick,
(Said sandwich full of van)
And also charming Penelope Trick
And her good husband Dan.
They took walk in Bully Lane,
Where Slick then sprung his gag
That Hiram Jr. went insane
Thus touched him for his swag
That Hiram Jr, went in sane,
We all know for fact,
And hope when he goes out again
He'll still remain intact.
If but knew his dads address,
I'd write him quite note,
And tell him how his son at mess,
Is 1t by popular vote.
We like his prose bout dear old dad,
His poetry is fine,
And many hearts oft sad are glad,
Through him, from time to time.
There is F. M. of Kilograms
He is a prince of wit,
His satire and his epigrams
For all the world are fit.
And Odds and Ends is too we'll known,
For me to sing his praise,
But men, who always must be shown"
To him their hats will raise,
Tho X. M. left this stately place,
We miss his voice and cheer,
I'd say it to him face to face:
He's some good peoples peer!
Now there was Chowchow crest in peace)
His stuff was fair, but then
He oftimes made us ill at ease
A cumming with his pen.
His quips we're sharp. One paper said,
(NOt that one he made sore),
"'Twould give healthy man, just fed,
An appetite for more"
And Sinbad (bless your heart, old MANI,
He gives us glimpses true
To life-as only Sinbad can
Of far off skies so blue.
His yarns are neat and can compete
With Verne or Captain Kidd,
Tho shOrter-still they're more complete,
His skeletons are hid.
Then Harley tells of trips down South,
Where fat old ''aunties" cook
Such cornbread-betta' hush yo' mouth
Fo' haunt yo' wi ma look.
Pendennis too, he's 'm0ngst the few,
Who really know lot.
His sparkling gems are like the dew,
That sings: Forget me not"

battle. Here and there we're to be
seen several hooks with lines still
attached to them. In fact his
mouth looked like the central Office
of some telephone company.
Thus ended the career of the
lighthouse catfish. Did he taste
good? you ask. I never knew. He
was too old and rugged-looking to
suit my fancy. Instead of occupy

he was consigned to the hogs, for

L
evening one does not go into
| deep mourning for an uncle-and
| lies told to a collector are white
| lies.
j Rome was not built in a day,
neither can an ice bill be collected
in twenty-four hours; remem Der
this when you have been asked to
"call tomorrow" for the seventh
time and be prepared to call sew
enty times seven times il necessary,
as collecting is a game in which
| persistence is the right bower.
| To lose your temper is to lose
the game and to meet rebuffs and
even insult with smile or at least
with silence is to pave the way to
final success. Some men will try
to pick quarrel with collector
so they can conscientiously CD
refuse payment, but by allowing
your adversary to lose his temper
while you control your own, means
to win an easy victory.
The most difficult case you will
have is the man who is always
glad to see you, with a friendly
clasp of your hand he wills invite
you to sit down and will himself
bring up the matter Of your &C.
count and denounce himself in
vigorous language for not sending
the promised check, asks you to re-
ceipt the bill as he is expecting the
money every minute and will en-
terrain you most pleasantly while
you are waiting-but the money
never comes. and when you are
finally obliged to leave without it
he is profuse in his apologies and
promises for an immediate remit
lance by mail. AS stated before,
this pleasant "Col. Crawfsh" is
difficult case and as he is still an
unsolved mystery to the most ex-
pert collectors we cannot point out
flaw in his armor for your guild
ance. Yet he is the oasis in the
desert life of the collector and
after several hours of hard fruitless
work it is refreshing to call upon
the Colonel and revive your faith
in humanity by finding man who
is SO anxious to pay and SO glad to
see you, even if his promises are
never fulfilled.
The secret in collecting is to |
present the account at the proper
moment. Among the thousands of
bad accounts scattered throughout
the country we doubt if there is a
single one which could not have
been collected if it had been pre-
scented at certain time. The ex-
pert collector depends upon this
fact and lessons his labor by ''size-
ing up" his man and deciding just
when and where to present the &C
count.
The good fellow who may be
skating on thin ice should only be
approached when in company of
others. He delights in paying a
bill before witnesses.
From the bibulous man you can
collect when he is out for a time,
as on such occasions he always
does something he is sorry for
next day.
The collector with number of
minor politicians on his list will
not be surprised at the amount of
money flowing in just before cleo
ton, while the country collector
reaps his harvest of coin in the
fall after crops are marketed.
Threats of suit will bring the
timid to time, but fattery when
skillfully welded is the most po-
tent weapon collector can use.
Most women will pay a debt
when they have the money, but
when you find one that won't she
