''He is an old tightwad"
That much the writer heard. and he
listened to this further arraignment Of
the absent subject:
Il tell you. be is the stinglest man in
town. He insists on the last red cent
that is coming to him. He is as close
as the bark on a tree. aud 1t Is well
known he gives nothing away In a

Severe. but
AS the writer happened to know In
this case. It was only half the truth.
True. the man referred to is close. in
his dealings. but this Is also true: If ne
insists upon what is due him he is also
ready to pay to the last cent what he
owes. His bills are promptly met He
is recognized as an honest man. His
credit is good. And this cannot al

a reputation for generosity. He de-
mands no more than he is willing to |
concede II he is insistent upon full |

There is another side to his charac-

Let us turn the shield around.
This individual who is called stingy
and close listed has a large family. He
Is fairly prosperous. but he needs all
his money. He slaves and saves not
for himself, but for bis family. He
would perhaps like to be generous and
charitable in giving but for the sake
Of the dear ones he must drive hard
bargains and insist upon full payment
Of his due. He even stints himself for
their sakes
