The Hog Plan.

Every newspaper publisher is curs- : ed with an occasional subserib- r whose soul seems io have been made of the fag end of n a'.eri J an.’ a shrimp pattern at that. We are 1 1ways thankful whe' B uch lift themselves from our list. The sooner the netter. They generally r- fuse to take the paper out of the posioffice after taking it for two or three years withs out paying a cent for it—a plain steal with insult added, or else they move a-vay without saying a word or paying a nicKel. Some others all at one® discover that they never ordeted the, paper, never wanted it, or received it irregularly- no more than half the time —won’t pay for it. In either case it is a cowardly snap, such as h nest men would not be guilty of. The proper way is to pay for the paper first and stop the paper afterwards. If yov are a gentleman, and don’t owe a cent, walk into the office, look the gentleman in charge full in the eye. and tell him you don’t wish it or can’t afford to keep it longer. If .you are on the hog plan, chuck it back in the postoffice and mark it ‘refused.’—Kokomo Dispatch.
