How to Dodge the
Sheriff
By RING LARDNE1

S.(
A great many Of my creditors and
their pals has probably been wonder
Ing that how come that we are loose
as a couple years ago was almost
shaking hands with the referee In
bankruptcy and where as ! am now
on my It. again and got pretty near
enough money to pay my last Novem-
Der grosery bill.
Well, friends, when | ind out Z
good thing / am not the kind Of 4
bird that will keep 1t to themself but
/ will pass it along and tell my pals
about 1t so as they can nike advan-
tages and pull themselfs out Of the
hole the same like did.
Well about a year ago l was talk
Ing with my wife and myself l night
and she says how Is 1t that I and
you are making about 200 berries per
wk, more or LESS and we " every
body in Illinois except the govt and
/ on the other hand here's the Quayles
living next doors to us and him only
getting 40 thousand per annum and
yet they seem to enjoy themselfs Z
whole lot more than we and don't
WI nothing.
SO l said what Of 1t.
SWELL" she says, Il been reading
the magazines a whole lot lately and
1 seen an ad in / signed by the Rainy
Day Corporation and it's supposed to
tell the husband and their wife how
to get themselfs on their II. and the
course only costs $500 30 why not
let's subscribe for 1t and you don't
have to pay In advance. but first you
get the course and read 1t and then
you can pretend like you don't carr
nothing about 1t and send 1t back to
them and they refund you the 8 spot"
So l said all right like I usually do
when she speaks to me at all and she
sent for the course and It come In a
form Of 5 books. which ! didn't have
time to read and she read them and
sent 1t back to them with the words
that 1t was not no good, but at that 1t
was SOOu CuOu6A W SCI 10 O0S Va
troubles and look at US now.
Well, the idear was this in a few
words. In the first place most Of our
debts was owed in driblets like ten
dollars and the book says:
III you owe ten dollars apiece to a
whole lot Of people in the same town,
why the idea is to quietly move out
OF that town as far as you can and
move to some other town, and the
merchants and etc. back In the old
town won't sew you because It would
cost more than the debts Is worth
SO one night we quietly moved out OF
the old town and moved to Great
Neck, and we haven't heard nothing
since from people we " money to.
Well the next lesson in the course
was to get yourself a Job that paid
more money so i day I went down to
NJ Y. City and went In a mans ONCE
that l had heard about him, and /
said I wasn't getting enough money
in old Chi. so he said what did !
want and I said l wanted a raise and
he gave 1t to me.
So AZ I say here. we are living In
Great Neck and getting more salary
than out in old Chi and all our debts
~repudiated and they can't sew US on
acct, Of how much 1t costs on acct OF
the distants and here we are liveing
in the lapse OF luxury In Longs Island
and all as we half to do Is to keep
out Of old Chi or 60 their ~incognito.
and on acct. Of the wife seeing the
Rainy Day Corporation ad in this
here magazine, which the pure read
ing matter was 70 bad that she felt
like she had to read the ads.
Now gents l don't want you to take
my testimony without no supports, 20
I will tell you about a couple Of
friends of mine along the SANE lines
that was In a. pretty a pickle like
we and seen the same ad and got the
same results a. us or better as fol-
lows: beginning with 4 letter I got
from 4 friend Of mine name Chaa.
Clarke as follows:
"Dear Old Pal. You know how NIL
dred and / used to struggle along
while / was earning $1,000 per week
as clerk In the Bon Ton Market which
my uncle owned it and I was the only
F., heir. Well one day Mildred read me
the Rainy Day Corporation ad in one
Of the magazines about how to pull
yourself out Of the rut so she wrote
them and they wrote back advising
me to quit being the clerk and become
the prop. 80 n day l took a big
cleaver and used 1t on my uncle and
BY the time l got through there
wasn't enough left Of him to be prop.
OF Z soda fountain In Cuba so now !
and Mildred Ii running the market
and last year we layed away $1.85."
The other letter il from a carpenter
friend Of mine that lives at Fifth
Avenue and 70 St and in 2 yrs. he
was only able to v 5000 70 /
day him and bis wife happened to 80
each other and begin talking and she
soon his al and wrote TO tho RAINY
