PAY SMALL DEBTS.
One wa.v to maku the holiday season pleas
nut to all Is to pay small debts and pay then
promptly. Many cannot pay large debts
but there are few who cannot pay small
ones. Besides this money Is generally due
to those who need It and can not afford U ,
get along without it. And for the reason thai
the debts are small they aie generally over
looked nud the poor creditor made to suffer.
If we had the. power to wipe the worst evil
in the financial world the. credit system would
go out so fast as would make your heads
swim. If there Is a season In the year when
these small debts should bo paid and all
made to feel happy , it is at the Christmas
tide. The man who refuses to pay , when he
can pay , is one who will receive his own
merited punishment , lie good to the poor
not necessarily by charity but by the better
plan of paying what you owe them. If you
don't and are able to pay , please don't think
of tins when you sit down to your holiday
feast , because it will turn the bounteous
spread Into wormwood ; Come to tliluk of
it , that's about fair though.
To Soldiers and Soldiers' Heirs.
From my experience in prosecuting Sol
diers' Claims against the Government from
18G2 to the present time , I know that there
are many soldiers who contracted some sick
ness or received some injury or wound while
in the service , and many fathers and mothers
of soldiers who died in the service or died
after discharge of disease contracted or in
juries or wounds received while in the ser
vice , and many widows and minor children
of soldiers who died after discharge of dis
ease contracted or wound' ; or injuries receiv
ed while in the service , are not aware that
they are entitled to Pension under our liberal
Pension Laws. And to qll such I will say ,
you are just as nilich entitled to a pension as
the soldier was to his monthly pay , while he
was risking his life to save his country. Many
Soldiers who are now drawing pensions , are
entitled to an increase. In letters of inquiry
send postage stamps. Address ,
