A photographer, saya a southern ox change, desirous of collecting a doubtful account, fell upon a facetious expedient. Solecting one of the photos for which a dilatory sitter had never troubled himself to call, the artist pasted six slips of white paper across tho front of it, entirely obscuring both faco and Dguro. On tho slips he wrote the days of the week, beginning with Monday, which coverud the feet, and ending with Saturday which hid the face. The photo, thus disguised, he placed in the show case outside, adding the intimation that tho individual depicted owed him 14s, and would be given a week wherein to make payment. Nobody realised the joke at first, not oven the debtor. But when, by the gradual re moval of the slips, the feet wore bared on Monday night, the knees on Tuesday, the ontire legs on Wednesday, and the waist on Thursday, keen interest began to centre on the card, and speculation ran so high that crowds daily gathered in front of the case. Many guessos were made as to the owner of the photo, and Saturday's revelation of tho faco was eagerly awaited. But tho exposure was averted, The debtor's brother, by a

promise to pay, saved the credit of his house on Friday night, and next day the card was removed. That photographer has since had several belated accounts settled.
