Mneh Annoyance. ? perversity of human nature can- j be more strongly brought out in r Vi ci ovnoriflnpfl /\f n nMVfina.D6 1* ; fl^^^Klisher. Take, for example, a list of Bscribers containing hund-ereds of: Bmes running often into the t'houBids. In regulated offices some sort I system is attempted to be mainHRned in the handling of the names. ^^^For instance, in an office where it is Wj arranged for all subscriptions to ex^ pire' either on the first or the fifteenth W v of the months throughout tne year, so obtain uniformity and regularity in collecting, etc., statements are 6ent j > to subscribers two weeks before the exp: -ation of their time. Right here is where the perverse noss comes in. Instead of sending I word to continue the paper, so many ft will wait until after the two weeks T>as<5 and their names are dropped, when they send for the missing papers putting the office to much inconvenienc ft and trouble, and also running the risk h| to themselves of net getting oack limbers, owing some tinges to the demand V ^ exceeding the supply Ocaiionaly this request is accompanied by the remark, "what did ycu cut me off for? you might have known that I wanted the paper. Next time don't stop my paper." The mail man is supposed to keep in { A mind next year that these particular -vorenno -a-snt their oar>ers continued p "w - - * _ whether they notify the office or not. [ Some of them get real mad, but the great majority of them are sensible. * In this connection it may be well ' ^ testate that in preparing these semimonthly statements it stands to reason k that occassionally by mistake 6ome; subscriber gets a statement when he; | is not due one or that a subscriber who F 5s done one fails to get it. No ham! f is done in either case, it is 60 easy for i a subscriber to look to his or her la- I . bel and it is very strange that so many: #~:i A _ a _ ZcUl LV uu SU. | Few newspapers offices take the; time and trouble to prepare andj send out these statements regularly; and promptly every two weeks. The ; Herald and News does it/for the accommodation of its numerous subscribers. It is not obliged to be done and may be discontinued at any time, because there Is much more and more important work in a printing ofk fice demanding the attention of Jr all engaged iu it So it does seem that fit is little enough to ask subscribers to look at their labels or at least to be j prompt in acting upon receipt of noItification. There is absolutely no favoritism Aier>"h-o rfP rvf thift t2.X DUV W U lil CJJL-U ^ | ing duty, the high and the low, the! rich and the poor, the white and the; L black being treated conspicuously alike! r ?a Pierpont Morgan and Butler each ' receiving identically the same treat-; ment. WM it so happens sometimes that a cred-! it fails to be given or that a name W i is overlooked and allowed to remain L on the iist for some time after it should have been taken off. Such mistakes are liable to- occurr in "the b-est regulated offices." I Whether you get a statement or not; keep posted as to the label on your \ paper. When your time is out notify I the office that you want the paperj k continued to your address, either by| m cash remittance or by word that you| * will send or bring the amount soon. | And this latter part of the proposition j does not mean for an indefinite per-! I iod, or for a long time, as some seem j to think, but for a reasonable length j of time, a little while so to speak. It : is a ruling by the postoffice depart-! | ment and not "by the newspapers, a m fact that is -either misunderstood ori overlooked by a great many readers. Now as to another phase of the mat-1 \\xt a \tt* a ier UJIBUUUCiBWuu UJ a. i. - yt. and Mr. B. are near neighbors.
