Cobbler Turned Doctor. A eoboler unable to mane a living oy his trade, rendered desperate by poverty, began to practice medicine in a town In which he was not known. Ho sold a drug, protending that it was an antidote to ail poisons, and oo talned a great name for himself by long winded puffs and advrsrttsements. Ii? happened to fall sick himself of a serious illness, on which tho governor of the town determined to test his skill. For this purpose he called for a cup and while filling it with water, pretended to mix poison with the cobbler's antidote, and commanded him to drink It, on the promise of a reward. The cobbler, under the fear of death, confessed that he had no knowledge of medicine, and was only mane famous by tne stupid clamors of the crowd. The governor calleo a public assembly, and thus addressed the cltW 7.ens: "Of what folly have you been guilty? You have not hesitated to entrust your heads to a man, whom no one would employ to make even the shoes tor their feet."?From Aesop's Fables.
