The collective system Of property

the most absolute Difference and devo-

SportfVe Lambs.

4 flock of ewes and lambs were once
observed in adjoining fields, separated
by a fence with several gaps in it. "Fol-
low my leader" was the game most in
favor with this flock, the biggest lamb
leading around the field and then jump
ing the gap, with AL the others follow
ing in single fle. Any lamb that took
the leap unusually well would give two
or three more enthusiastic jumps out of
sheer eIuberant happiness when it
reached the other side. Fawns played
a sort of cross touch from one side to
the other, the touch" in each case be-
ing by the nose.-London Tit-Bits.
