's PAY "Til KM" DKHTS. ? Tiiere are many people sneaking ( around who have been excusing 'themselves for some time, and try>' ing to quiet their consciences because they hail not paid honest debts s which they owe making the plea that II times have been so hard that they - were unable to do so. This has serv ed as a kind of excuse, and as a palls ative, but it has failed to work. They i are not able to look the people whom they owe squarely in the face, and they usually avoid them when it is possible to do so. The only way that r they will ever feel right will be when 1 f they do the fair and square thing. ? ,| It is a good thing that dishonor ? i, makes people feel sneakish and robJthem of the greatest pleasure of life y that of having a good conscience. No -jman who is dishonest ca nejoy himIself as he should. It is a ghost that haunts him. and that will not down sjat his bidding. No doubt this causes ? J many a person to come across and cjsquare himself with the world. It is - well that it does. e] Hut, we started out to suggest, as ejtimes are good now and money plentiful, why should not every fellow e'pay what he owes and Dlace himself r i, in line with that which is right bet tween man and man? It will be a a good thing for you to do it not only for the aake of the people whom you n owe, but for your own sake. Get at c it right away, and put yourself once y more In the line of respectability. >. Make haste, while times are good, and while you are still in the land of . the living. You can not afTord to live or die with honest obligations to your fellow man resting upon you. . Pay them debts. Pay them right , away. You will rest better by day r and by night. It will make all the world a glad song to you.
