We had an editorial dream the other evening.  Thought we went down to the post office one morning to get the mail and found our box full of letters—chock full - and a note from the postmaster asking us to call for more letters - too many for the box. And, what do you think, when we began to open those letters we found that every one of them contained a check or a money order and every one of them started out: "I believe my subscription is out and I enclose", etc.  and all day long we were kept busy making proper credits on our books and making our receipts - and wearing the smile that cometh not off.  And the next morning, fellows who had not mailed remittances began to come in and plank down the coin - my, what music all day long!  They just kept a-coming.  The assault on our delinquent list was something terrible, but we never flinched.  We stood our ground, determined that we should see the thing through, even if it brought every name on the list up to date or even put them in advance.  Took nerve to stand such a financial onslaught, but we stood it all right. And when the cannonading was over, we couldn’t have found a single name on the whole list to which we could send a "statement".  It was an awful dream!  Makes us shudder yet!  But if such a terrible thing should come true there is no better time than right now for it to happen. So if you want to test our nerve, sail in.
