Cleanliness is virtue; but, like other
virtues, 1t may be carried to vicious ex-
cess. So 1t happened with an old fisher
man in Nartle, Devon, who made it one Of
the chief ends of his life to keep his boat
immaculate.
On one occasion gentleman had hired
him to take himself and young lady out
for an afternoons fishing The boat could
not be brought near enough to the shore
for them to step in, so the old sailor re-
moved his shoes and stockings, and TAX
ing the young lady In his arms was about
to deposit her on board when he caught
sight of some mud on her pretty pair OF
boots.
Instantly he stopped and dipped both
her feet up to the ankles in the sea, pad
ding them back and forward to remove
the mud, in spite of the protests of the
owner His only remark as he finally put
her on board was:
