How They Collect Bills.

The aboriginal debt collector literally
goes after his victim with a sharp
stick Perhaps the phrase may have
originated from the manner in which
some Indians realize on bills due them.
The Nushinan Indians of California
may have seen the disagpeeable habit
prevalent among whites of sending
bills. When one Indian owes another
it is considered bad taste for the cred
itor TO dun the debtor. He proceeds
with more delicacy. He procureS a
certai1 number of sticks. according to
the amount of the debt, ana paints n
ring around the end of each. These
he carries and losses irCo the debtors
wirwAm aud then goes away without
. word The debtor invariably pays
the debt and destroys the sticks, as il
is considered . reproach to have the
January dunmng stick thrown into the
wigwam Indeed the creditor never
uses them EXCEPT with hard customers.
