Terms OF Payment Suited.

The late j. Warren Bigeow, for
many years a prominent member of
the Worcester (Mass.) county board
of commissioners, was fond of relating
this story:
One winter day man stood in
front of a store where mems shirts
were displayed. A few were hung
outside, and one particularly took his
fancy. Without waiting to inquire
the price, he seized it and started
down the street.
The owner happened to see him,
and Immediately gave chase Seeing
that the thief outran him, he cried
out: well, If l don't get the pay in
this world | shall in the world to
come"
oh" called back the man with
the shirt, ''if you want to wait till then
I'll take another shirt"
