Avenue. © © ® © © © © ® © } © » © & o! paign,in which his Excellency wasa prominent figure, are related by volan- teers who took part, and with whom he| | waa deservedly popular. “An incident which caured much amusement in camp at the time is related by Mr. William Simpson of Toronto, says the Globe, who was color sergeant of Co. F, known as the Scotch company of the 90th Batt., and who had previously occupied a sim- ilar position in the Queen’s Own Rifles. Among the members of Co. F, who were at the front, was Mr. Geo. F. Grant, who for many years had led the congre- gation of Old St. Andrew’s and who when the trouble broke out wore a cor- poral’s stripes. Corporal Grant is a carpenter by trade, and having in the course of a long apprenticeship at the bench, acquired a taste for neatness and @ love of graceful contour, it pained him to‘witness the raggedness of hair and beard upon his brethren whicha few week's campaigning produced. Having obtained possession of a pair of scissora and acomb of uncertain age he consti- tuted himeelf ‘“‘honorary barber” to the company. Although the tonla at his command were not those best adapted for the purpose, with true Scotch tenac- ity of purpose, he persevered in his self. imposed task. He soon succeeded in re- ducing the heads of his comrades toa sy ical and F became transformed ins few days into the smartest looking and best barbered company in the brigade. General Eiddleton. whose prolonged absence from the deft attendance of the barber was giving him some concern, noticing the “spruce” and “natty” ap- pearance of the company, made inqui- » Ties, which resulted in the general promptly submitting himeelf to the ton- sorial skill of Corporal Grant, who per- formed hie duty with extra care, and when the general was at last released from the soap box which constitated the barber's chair he looked as neat aud trim as though he had only left Ottawa the day before. Early the following morning (Sunday) Lord Melgund, as his excellency was then known, noticed the marvelous, change in the appearance of hia chief and at once obtained the name and ad- dress of his barber.. Anorderly was immediately despatched to the com- manding officer of the 90th Batt., with s request that Corporal Grant be ordered to report at headquarters. With military promptness Corporal Grant appeared at Lord Melgund’s tent, and giving the customary military sa- lute awaited orders. : . “Did you dress the general’s hair yes- terday?” inquired the chief of staff, “I did, sir.” replied the corporal. * You did it remarkably well. I wish you would get your scissors and cut mine.” : “J beg pardon, sir,” saluting respect- fully. - “Just get your scissors andcut my hair, please. I would like tohave it done before church parade.” “Beg pardon, sir, never clip heads on Sunday. My mither telt me always to keep the Sawbath,”’ was the respect- fnl reply, accompanied by a salute. Lord Melgund looked up quickly, and after a moment’s pause, realized that he was dealing witha Scotch Presbyterian of the old school, and after making an ap- pointment for the next day, he attended church with unkempt locks. General Hutton at that time was serv- ing in the Soudan. Rossiand Metal Works. J. F.

The-.re- cruiting will be done eventually by non- commissioued officers and men of the permanent force in Canada, who will be sent out for the purpose to yarious points in. their reepective districts. A commencement, however, will probably be made with regular recruiting parties from the British army, as, itis. thought the jasm of young C: i will be most readily evoked by the sight of regular soldiers in all the gorgeous pan- oply of men marching to the tap of Brit- ish drums, says an Ottawa paper. ‘'fhig plan is -no doubt the outcome of the movement to repatriate the 100th Royal Canadians, although recruits in Canada will be allowed the choice of any regiment in which to enlist.. While those who have been patriotically active. in promoting the scheme of repatriation are confident that the 100th can \be brought up to full gth by Canadi: 600 Doz Paira of Socks from 12!gc. up, worth 85c. up. 600-Pairs of Biankets from 75c np, worth $1.50 up. 2 26 Cases of Underware from 35¢ ‘up, worth $1.00 up. 45.Cases Top Shirts and Sweaters from 30c up, worth $1.00 u ‘And a cat lot of other , farniechings including
