COLLECTED THE BILL.
Though Delayed Long Time, Pay.
ment Was Finally Made.

For three years a Brooklyn business
house had tried to collect an undisput-
ed bill of 500 from lawyer, whom the
Brooklyn Eagle calls Baker because
that is not his name. Whenever n
collector asked for the money, the law
yer would protest vigorously that II
man of his large affairs could not be
bothered with so small a matter as a
bill for $50.
One day the business house received
a typewriter letter from the lawyer,
manifolded copies of which had prob
ably been sent to many other Brook
Ign business houses. 1t was evident
that he had not recognized the firm
name when he sent it, The letter read
in part as follows:
Il take the liberty of writing you,
thinking you may have some claims on
your books that should be collected. l
undertake collections as branch of
my business upon the principle No
collections, no charge. or course | do
not bring actions at law for nothing
neither do | sue unless authorized.
believe that collections are stepping
stones to other legal business, and give
an opportunity to become acquainted
with my method of doing business"
The business house sent the follow
ing answer, together with its bill
against the lawyer:
I'VE have at hand your favor of the
23d instant, asking us to send you
some of our uncollected bills. and we
take pleasure in sending you herewith
a bill which we have been trying to
collect for long time without sue
cess.
IF you can do anything in this mat.
ter we should be pleased to send you
other bills for collection. VIII you
kindly let us hear from you at your
earliest convenience"
Possibly this did not especially ap.
peal to the lawyers sense OF humor,
but the bill was paid without any fur.
