HE HAD HIM THERE.

Some years ago in town not far from
the shores of Lake Erie, in the State of
Ohio, lived a shoemaker named A, and a
ship carpenter named B. The shoemaker
was knowing man. He knew so much
about everybody's business that he didn't
have time properly to attend to his own
and be was often a witness at court. 1t
was his custom to promise faithfully the
completion of work at stated times only
to disappoint his customers when the day
came round. The carpenter, B., ordered
a pair of boots, with the usual promise from
A, that they would be done on certain
day. The day came and with it came B.
He didn't get the goots, but received anoth-
er good promise. The next, and repeated
visits brought repetition of the promise,
but no boots. Finally, one day the carpen-
ter happened in at the court room just as
the unreliable shoemaker was being sworn
as witness in some case The magistrate
had barely pronounced the words, "you
solemnly swear that You will tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
so help you God" when the carpenter sang
out at the top of his voice, "Now, old fell.
low, I've got you where want you.
Now, sir, tell me tohen you DiH get my
boots done" His boots were finished the
next time he called. p.E~
