In old story re-morald. Two men a journey had to go (The one was -Jim, the other Joe), The distance two score miles and ten, Aud fifty long nailer, back again. Away they sped with right pood will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the one call'd Joe Declared he coukl no further go. Jim's hurry would not brook delay, So like a shot h7 sped ay. ay ; His journey and hip 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 fivo-and-twenty milea 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 Hemus always makes my shoes. We forget whether Jim wore a pair of our Men's Elaßtic Sides'or Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they, both go well.
