Two mon a journey had to go (The one was Jim, the other Joe), The distance two score miles and ten, And flfty,long miles bact again. Away they sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the one call'd Joe Declared he could no further go. Jim's hurry wouia not brook delay, So like a shot he sped away; His journey and his business o'er, He took the road for home once more. When half way back he met poor Joe, Walking along but very slow, Who when he saw that it was Jim, With rueful face thus question'd him: "Pray tell me friend how it can be. That you can walk bo light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have flve-and-twenty mileb to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemtjs always makes my shoe1?. We forget whether Jim wore a pair oi onr Men's Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well.
