ctarIes Y. and the HIeFry, Modest
COULTER of Flanders.

Charles Y. and the Merry, Modest
cobbfer of Flanders.
Charles ". ia his intervals OF relaxa-
ton. used to retire to Brussels. He
was n prince curious to know the sentt-
ments of his meanest subjects con-
corning himself and his administers
ton. Therefore he often went ''incoG."
and mixed himself In such companies
and conversation as he thought proper.
One night. bis boot requiring immedi-
ate mending. he was directed to n cob
bier. Unlucl1ily It happened to be St
Crispin's holiday. and instead OF 6nd-
ing the cobbIer inclined for work he
was In the height OF his jollfty among
his acquaiatances. The emperor ac-
quainted him with what he wanted
and offered q handsome gratuity.
What friend" says the fellow, "do
you know no better than to ask any
OF our craft to work on st. Crtspin's
day? Was it Charles v. himself I'd
not do a stitch for him now. But Il
you'll come in and drink to St Girls
pin, do and welcome. We are as merry
as the emperor can be-"
The sovereign accepted his oRer, but
while he was contemplating their rude
pleasure, instead Of joining in it. the
jovial host thus nccosted him: But I
suppose you are some courtier, politi-
clan or other. by that contempIative
phiz But. be who or what you will.
you're heartily welcome. Drink about
Here's Charles VS. health"
Then you love Charles w" replied
the emperor.
Love him!'' says the son OF CrispIn-
aye, aye, L love his long noseship
wen enough. but should love him
much more would he but tax us a lit
tie less But what have we to do
with politics? Round with the glass
and merry be our heartsF'
After n short stay the emperor took
his leave and thanked the cObbler for
his hospitnbIe reception
THAT" cried he, you're welcome to.
but I would not have dIshoDored St
Crispin to have worked for the en-
peror."
Charles, pleased with the honest
good nature and humor OF the fellow,
sent for him next morning TO court
One may Imagine his surprise to see
and hear that his late guest was his
sovereign. He feared his joke on his
long nose would be punished with
death. The emperor, however, thank
ed him for his hospitality and as
reward for 1t bid him ask for what
he most desired and take the whole
night to settle his surprise and ambI-
ton.
Next day he appeared and requested
that for the future the cobblers of
Flanders might bear for their arms
boot with the emperor's crown upon
1t. That request was granted, and, 30
moderate was his ambition, the en-
peror bid him make another. If"
saws he, al am to have my utmost
wishes, command that for the future
the Company Of Cobblers shall tnse
the place of the Company of Shoe
makers" 1t was accordingly so or
dalned, and to this day there Is to
be seen chapel in Flanders adorned
round with a boot and an imperial
crown on it and in all professions
the Company OF Cobbiers takes the
place of enc Company OF Shoemakers.
