she replied, giving q remarkably just

BILE and remained silently admiring it

A Complicated Case.

A country squire is often called
upon to settle questions which tax
both his knowledge and his ingenuity.
One such matter was presented to
Squire Prescott Of Banbury.

you say I'll abide by it. whether you
think as l expect you will or not"
well, let's hear what 1t is" said
Squire Prescott good naturally.
TITS just like this, said the man,
stepping closer and speaking in q low
er tone. "Hen Rogers wants to trade
farms with me, but we can't quite
agree on terms. His cow pasture is
better than mine, but I've got twice as
many BURBERRY bushes as he has; his
corn is all started, and mine isn't, but
I've got screens to five windows and
two doors; there's less stones In his
meadow land than there is in mine, but
there's more bog.
Now. I won't tell you which is which,
but one Of us thinks Hens collie dog

heifer would just about even up. Now.

Skating is mentioned by a Danish
historian about 1884, and F~itzstephen
in his History Of London says that
In the twelfth century young men
fastened the leg bones Of animals un-
der their feet by means Of thongs in
order to slide along the ice. This
statement is confirmed by the pair Of
bone skates Of the period now in the
British museum. 1t is likely, however,
that these early Londoners got the
idea from Holland, probably via Lin
colnshire, where skates have been
used on the frozen fens from very re-
mote times.
