A-^OLiTSTORY" EE-MORAL'D. Two men a journey had to go (The one was Jim. the other Joe), The distance two score miles and ten, And flfty long miles back again. Away they sped with right good -will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and bill. But very soon the ono call'd Joe Declared he could no further go. Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot he sped away; His journey and his business o'er, He took the road for borne 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 thns question'd him: " Pray tell me friend how it can be, That you can walk so light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty miles to go f' Quoth Jim, "The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes. We forget whether Jim wore a pair of our Men's Elastic Sides or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well.
