DEBT PAYERS
There Are Various and sundry Glasses
of Them.

of Them.
There are people who are perfectly
honest and who would pay what they
owe If they could, but unfortunately
they are 50 situated as to make 1t i'm
possible to meet their obligations.
They did not contract debts with any
other intention than that of meeting
them, but they have had reverses that
they did not anticipate, and so are
helpless for the present. These kind
Of people are not lodging around to
evade those whom they owe but they
seek their creditors, and make clean
breast Of their condition, and their ex-
plantations are usually taken at their
face value, and they are given chance
which they are sure to improve, If it
is ever possible for them to do so.
Usually it is not hard for them to come
again; for they haye the confidence of
business men, and confidence is very
valuable asset in business as we'll as
in other things. 1t is great to have
people DeneVe In you.
Then there are the people who make
debts with the intention Of never pay
ing them Their mission in life Is to
get all they can out of the other fellow
and they find Just as many other
fellows as it is possible and usually
they are very successful along this line
of action. Were they as diligent In
trying to do the fair and square thing,
there is no telling what they might ac-
complish in the business world. They
often play their game for long time.
but the end is sure to come and trey
find themselves in the middle Of the
road without friends, and destitute.
They are as bad or worse than the
common thief, and If they had their
deserts they would have been on the
chain gang long ago. That is where
they belong.
But there is a more respectable kind
Of fellow who can pay, and who will
pay when it suits his convenience, but
he cares very little about the conven-
ience' of the folks whom he owes. He
is very prolific in making excuses. He
may have money in his pocket, but he
will hold on to it just as long as possi-
BILE. Many d fellow of this stripe Is
now hiding behind the stringency Of
the times. He let's it be known from
day to day that times are mighty close
and therefore his creditors will have to
wait.
1t is just these people who are doing
great deal toward making times
hard. If they were honest in heart and
purpose, they would do the square
thing and pay promptly what they owe
like men, and this would enable others
to meet their obligations, and there
would be more money in circulation.
There should be some way to make
these chaps unload.
What joy are the people who know
when their obligations are due, and
who are ever ready to protect them

will be on hand ready either to renew
it or pay it in full. And they are the
people who can borrow from banks, II
there is anything to lend. They are
the light and the life of the business
world. They are in a class all to them
| selves, and it is a mighty fine class.
There is pure, honest blood coursing
their veins, and while they are never
heard to boast Of it, they have many
admirers who are always ready to lift
their hats to them, and give them n
warm, cordial hand grasp.
They are aristocrats Of the first wa
ter! Where is the man who would not
like to be Of their kith and kin?-An-
