in Syriac. She was in the habit of going
with some of the family, and sometimes
alone, when she had n penny to the
groeer's round the corner One day,
when the folks were away, she started for
the.grocer's, but, turning the wrong cor
ner, She wandered on for some time, and
finding. she could not get home, sat down
on doorstep and began to cry. Soon a
police officer came along, and when he
asked her where she lived she repeated
very promptly and distinctly what her
sisters had taught her: My name is
Emma Gway CoOwan. My fager is the
Weywond Joseph Gallap CoowaR, from
