Everybody knows a blacksmith wears
a leather apron and most have noticed
that this apron Is split and often frin-
ged at the bottom. An old Sussex
smith tells us how this came to be
done. .
Once upon a time Alfred~the Great
called all the trades together to ap-
point a Trades-king. lie declared he
would make that man king who could
best get on without the help of the oth-
ers for the Iongcst period. He made a
feast and asked a workman from each
trade to come and bring specimen of
his work. anti the tools used in making
it.
The blacksmith brought his hammer
and a horseshoe. The tailor brought
his shears and a new coat. the. baker
his peel and a loaf; the shoemaker his
owl and a new pair or sheets. the car-
penter his saw and a nice box. the
butcher his chopper and a joint. the
mason his chlsels and a curved stone.
The tailor-'s coat was of such sur-
passing bcauty that all the guests de-
rlarcd themselves beaten: and the
horseshoe. thc bread. the fibers. the
box. the meat and the curved stout
were all thrown aside. The tailor was
pronounced Trades~king by Alfred and
was duly installed.
‘ The blarksmlth nus angry. and de-
' clared that be “mild do no more work
while the tailor “as king. and be ac-
tually shut up his shop and disappear-
ed.
(his day as King Alfred was rid-
ing along his horse cast a shoe. and be
was the iirst to need the service of the
blacksmith; but he could not get Into
the shop.
Then all the other tradesmen. in-
cluding King Tailor. tried to shoe the
King‘s horse. but each one not only
failed but broke his tools and could
not carry on his proper business until
they were mended.
King Alfred and the tradesmen then
broke open the shop and tried to use
the blacksmith‘s tools. The King tried
to slide his horse. the tailor to mend
his shears, and each one endeavored to
repair his _toqj§....1lle.ham kicked the
king. the tailor bruised his fingers. the
fire would not. burn, and ever.) body not
Into someixidy's way The butcher
shoved the baker. he shoved the shoe
maker. who in turn shoved theI carpen-
ter. who shoved tht| mason. who shov
ed the tailor. and In the general con-
fusion the anvil was knocked over.
About this time the blacksmith
walked In looking very angry. The
King. however. made a humble bow
and said. ‘I was wrong to be led away
by the gaudy color of a cont. and! now
revoke my decision and proclaim
the blacksmith king."
All the trades. except the deposed
tailor begged the smith to mend their
tools. 80 he shod the King's horse and
mended the tools-of all who had asked
him: but in order to show his mag-
ncnimlty. he made the tailor a brand-
new pair of shears.
King Alfred proposed to drink the
health of the new king. and to sing a
song in his honor. at a second feast
which ‘he gave. The tailor. however.
did not reciprocate the biachsmith's
kindnesshbut. while the others were
singing. crawled under the table and
