tied TO many writers, but was first told by
Rabelais:
In Paris et roast meat cookery OF the
Petit Chastelct certain hungry porter
was eating his bread and at the same time
sniling the reek and steam from tat
goose which was being turned on spit
before great fire, thereby gaining sayory
accompaniment TO his dry ration.
He ate very slowly that he might enjoy
the recking. smoking SAVIOR as long rs pos
sible. and when his penny loaf had been
consumed he attempted TO depart But
the cook was not OF that mind. The mas
ter of the shop laid hold upon him by tho
gorget, demanding pay for the smoke and
steam OF the roast goose. The porter de-
INJURED. The cook claimed that portion
OF the meal had clearly been made from
the SAVIOR shifted up aud swallowed.
It Glanced while the discussion was GO.
ing on that Seyny Jean, tho fool, entered
the shop, and the matter was referred to
him.
"Wilt thou submit to the Judgment OF
this'good citizont" asked the cook.
AYE, By the blood OF the goose, that
will" answered tho porter.
Tho story was then told and the case
argued. The fool listened attontively, end
IN the end he asked the porter to let him
take two pieces Of his money. The poor
man drew from his fob two pieces of cop
per. Seyny Jean took them and jingled
them awhile between his two hands and
then gave them back whence he had re-
oeived them. Then 70 tho cook he said:
"The porter did smell OF thy goose, and
thou hast heard the jingle of his money.
Thou hast thy goose intact, he hath his
money. rs seemcth TO mo right and proper.
And now this court doth decree further
that every one go about his own business,
