...play with. When they returned next season, there were two sheep-a modest increase indeed, Bell thought, considering that young pigs were usually produced by the dozen, kittens and puppies by the half dozen. If sheep were only one-sixth as prolific as pigs, the poverty of his shepherd neighbors, who grazed their flocks among Nova Scotia's bleak hills, would be greatly relieved...
Grenade. Second Lieutenant Charles Hazlett Upham, 33-year-old Rugby player and shepherd, destroyed three German posts at Malemi. Later he took a corporal reconnoitering 600 yards into enemy territory; together they killed two Germans, led out an isolated company that had been cut off.

When this usurper died seven years ago, he was succeeded by a Mongolian shepherd's son. The new Dalai Lama is now being educated - as the new Panchen Lama will be - amid the spinning prayer wheels and chanting monks of a Tibetan monastery. The two lucky youths can look forward to a soft life if they are lucky enough to survive the regency...
