Solomon and the Black
smith.

The story goes that, during the
building Of SOIomon's Temple, that
wise ruler decided to treat the arti-
saus employed on his famous cdi-
flee to banquet. While the men
were enjoying the good things his
bounty mad provided, King Solo,
mon moved ebout from table TO
table, endeayoring to become bet
ter acquainted with his workman.
To one he sale
"My friend what is your trader"
"A carpenter
And who makes your tools ?'
"The blacksmith" replied the
carpenter.
To another Solomon said:
"What is your trade ~ and the
reply was:
"A inason."
"And VINO makes your tools 2"
THE blacksmith" replied the
mason.
A third stated that he was q
stone-cutter, and that the black
smith also made his tools. The
fourth man that King Solomon
addressed was the blacksmith
himself. He was powerful man
with barred arms, on which the
muscles stood out in bold relief,
seemingly almost az hard as the
metal he worked.
"And what is your trade, my
good man ?" said the King.
"Blacksmith," laconically repli-
ed the man of the anvil and
sledge.
"And who makes your tools ?"
Make 'em myself" said the
blacksmith.
Whereupon King Solomon i'm
mediately proclaimed him King
of Mechanics, because he could
not only make his own tools, but
all other artisans were forced to go
to him to have their tools made.
