name, McElroy approached with an
open knife and stabbed him in the
throat. McCown died about 6

A Winter In Iceland.


Although the climate of South Iceland
is cold, the winter is scarcely what one
would be led to expect from the northern
situation. There is not much snow. A
few inches usually lay upon the ground,
crisp and hard, but not the piled up drifts
of New England winter. Accordingly
it was possible to make horseback excur
sions to the farms round about, and to
see the winter life of the people in the
country. This season for the 1celander
is time Of comparative rest. As nothing
can be done abroad he stays Of necessity
at home, but his life is no mere hiberna-
ton. He sleeps a great deal, for his
house is insuficiently lighted and the
nights are long, but by daylight he has
occupations enough. He has boats to
build and oars to shape, saddles and har-
ness to make and to mend, or he sorts
the wool which the women spin into
yarn and then knit into stockings or
weave into coarse homespun or flannel,
like wadmal. A busy sound of whirring
wheels often greets the ear when you
enter the farm house, and you find the
women all at work at the end of the long
room.
Another duty devolves on the heads OF
the household at isolated farms. There
are good elementary schools in many
places throughout the island, but IN re-
mote districts the children must be taught
at home. In summer the time is occu-
pied with out-of-door work, but in the
comparatively idle days of winter the
father, or not infrequently the mother,
teaches the children of either sex the
common branches. Iceland is perhaps
the best educated community on the face
of the earth; throughout the length and
breadth of the. land there is nobody Whe
cannot read and Yri1e, end =: .as genera
knowiedge q son,ts o. these obscure fish

Defendants of the Soldiers OF tho
| War OF 1919 Organizing a Raid ON
| tho New York Treasury.
During the war of 1912 the primitive
militia of this state was drafted by the
general government, which. however,
oupplied neither equipment nor pay.
The regiments were in service from
one month to one year. Tho majority
of them were not uniformed. and many
of the soldiers furnished their own guns
and horses.
Within three years after the close of
the war the surviving militismen ap-
piled to the legislature for relief. In
1857 a commission was appointed to
pass upon the claims and in 1859 a
