General Dragomiroff, the Russian
military expert, rose from the ranks
and always dressed according to the.
army regulations for the common sol
der. One day while driving about st.
Petersburg in his carriage he noticed
a soldier with hair longer than the reg
ulations called for. He had the horses
stopped, alighted and, taking off his
hat, ordered the soldier to seize him
by the hair. The soldier lesituted. He
feared to lay violent hands on his gem
eral; besides, the hair was clipped too
close to afford hold for the hands.
The general surveyed the soldier stern
ly for few moments. then, twiniug
his fingers in the latter's locks, lie lit
orally wiped up the street with him,
the victim not daring to resist. Final
ly, having impressed the lesson thor
oughly, he re-entered his carriage and
drove on, ordering the soldier to fol
low. AT the first BARRIERS shop they
came to he again alightcd and had cv-
cry vestige of hair shaved from the
soldiers head, then turned him loose
as n horrible example to his fellows.
