In ths s.ms Boat.

The Duke Of Leeds before succeed
ing to his title was active In politics.
Once when canvasslng he came upon
an English shoemaker, whose vote he
solicited. "Sorry," said the shoemak-
er, "but I'm not going to vote for any
b1oomin' aristocrat. I can't afford It.
I'VE got four children to bring up"
"That's nothing" replied the duke.
"Ive got Ave, and they are all girls"
The shoemaker came UP and touched
him on the arm. "All right. old chap"
he said. "You shall have my vote. II
seems to me we are both in the same
boat, and we'd better stick together"
