My Dear Little Business Man--It IL .
very bad practice for you to spend money
which does not belong to you. Please don't
tell me that don't know what am talking
about. for the other day I had to help q
little worker out because he ran behind with
his money. In other words. he was selling
newspaper every week ana ne did not
nave money enough to pay for the papers
when they came. Collections we're bad.
But let me say that paying money is
nothing more or less than a habit. don't
owe the railroad anything don't owe the
pos'ofhce anything You cannot buy
railroad ticket and have IL charged You
cannot buy stamps and have them charged
therefore, l don't see why people should
buy weekly newspapers from "a small boy
and have it charged nor do I see why he
should allow them to have their papers go
over from week to week.
! am going to give this boy one more
chance and IL he does not make good l am
