FH ho was n very clever financier, and M vet docs not seem to have had qui to iH as much sense as a boy who knows aH enough to go in when it ruins: M A barge was being towed up tho Hl NecKar fiom Mannheim to Ilcidol- iH berg, and a shoemaker on tho hump, JH Willi a largo knapsack on his back, H cjine up nnd asked the bargeman IH how much ho would charge him for IH a lido on the boat. Tito bargeman, lH who was n bit of a wag, replied: iH "Fifteen kuuzcrs; but if you help 'M pull, only six." Tho shoemaker H thought tho matter over for a H minute or two, and, calculating that H ho would tao nine kreuzcrs by H helping to pull, threw his bag into M tho boat and cheerfully tugged at M tho ropo all tho way to Heidelberg, M when ho forked out tho six kreuzors M and shouldered his knapsack again.
