What a blessed thing it would be it one could run a newspaper and never ask some of his subscribers to pay up, observes a contemporary. As long as

the paper goes on week after week and > lio statement is sent for arrearages, everything goes like clock-work and you are one of the best and most accommodating editors on earth; your piperis the best in the country; your items are highly relished; your advice followed; your sayings gladden the hearts of the household and happiness reigns supreme. But, oh! what a brute you are, after sending the paper two or three years for nothing, if you politely send in your bill and ask for what is due on a portion of it. Your .

darned old paper isn’t any account; I ’ jusfhea avvnt you - no owe were rich we would not asw I one to pay for his paper—we would not print one.
