The credit ledger has ruined about
as many victims as the ircat Tyrant,
King Barley Corn inducing his
many aliases from hard cider and
beer on up. Credit, however is more
popular, coming in softer garb, with
more genteel manners. Creditors
live and thrive by it and do, there
fore, hold their peace. The other
fellow, bound band, foot and tongue,
too, dare not squeal. All this, there
fore, serenely quiet along the line.
The man that's noble, just and brave
thinks a good deal, however, and
sometimes quite loudly.
