A Scotch Collie story.

A story Of Il Scotch collie is current
Oh the Derbyshire border, according to
the Dundee Advertiser. A farmer in
the Peak district, having purchased a
small flock of sheep i'll the lowlands,
drove the flock the whole way from
Scotland to his farm In Derbyshire
with the aid of collie dog which was
lent to him by the Scotch farmer from
whom he purchased the sheep. When
you get to your home with the sheep"
said the Scotchman, ''let the dog fill
his belly; then tell him to go home"
The Derbyshire man duly arrived ut
his farm with the sheep and was so
pleased with the collie dog and It's per-
formance that he decided to keep it a
few days before sending 1t back. One
day he was away from home during
the whole of the day, and OH returning
in the evening he found that the Scotch
collie was missing and also the flock of
sheep. In n few days tidings came
that the dog had arrived at his Scotch
home and had brought the sheep back
with him.

MEN WITH LONG HAIR.
when British Soldiers Were First
Forbidden TO Wear CurIs.

when British Soldiers Were First
Forbidden to Wear CurIH.
Matthew Of Westminster tells us that
in 1927 Henry 1. ordered all the sol
diers Of England to cut their hair a
proper length and not wear It like wo-
men. This custom OF wearing hair
like women rose, according to William
of Malmesbury, in the reign of VIII
liam the red king. Young men, he
says, then endeavored to rival women
In delicacy Of person, to mince their
gait, to walk with loose gesture and
half naked.
Anselm in HOP enacted that clerks
who had long hair should be compelled
to have it cropped so as to show part
Of the ears and the eyes. William OF
Malmesbury does not mention the edict
Of Henry l., but he relates that in 1928
q certain knight who prided himself
on the luxuriancy Of his t~resses, having
dreamed that he was strangled by
them, cut them of Immediately on
waking.
This example, he adds, spread
throughout England, and almost all
military men allowed their hair to be
cropped a proper length. But, alas,
this decency did not continue long, for
scarcely a year expired ere all who
thought themselves courtly lapsed into
their former folly, and those who had
no natural curls put on false ones.-
