AITOUrOTORY^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 fifty long miles back again. Away they sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, But very soon the one eall'd Joe Declared he could no further go. Jim's hurry would not brook-delay, So like a shot ho sped away; His journey and his business o'er, He took the road for home once more. When half way back he met poor Joo, 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 so light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty miles to go 1" 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 cr Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well.
