A COBBLER unable to make a living by his trade and made desperate by poverty, began to practice medicine in a town in which he was not known.
Hearing himself so called upon, the Cobbler stopped, and, seeing a well-clad stranger in blue, he spoke to him in seemly wise.
The cobbler was, as in many villages, an atheist, and his appearance in church was a shade more extraordinary than Mad Joe's.
