they happen along they will run in

the slightest effort In that direction.
Often It costs more to collect from
such people than the subscription is
worth. Other business people have
the same experience. Such persons
would never decline to pay their fare
on the railroad, because they would
be ashamed to be put OF the train.
Yet they do precisely the same thing

can be done quietly. A newspaper
