I’m sure I can get along with- out them.” “I know of no way to keep bill col- lectors away, except not to run up any bills,” said Mr. Jarr, “Don't pay any attention to them.

They treated me as if I were of no im- portance whatever; and there's Mrs. Stryver, who introduced me there, who runs up bills for shoes for hun- dreds of dollars, and they treat her as though she were a queen. So I said to myself, ‘If those people don’t think my little bill worth while sending a collector for I won't bother with it’ And then they got to sending me bills and writing me letters that were rude, to say the least, and so I determined since they had been rude they could wait for the money.” “They won't wait for it,” eald Mr. Jarr. “If I don’t pay tt—the bill's year old—they’l of ee Peay fag pay {it next week, dui eo many bills to meet.” “Haven't I?” asked Mra.
