A traveller from Iceland asserts
that the people of that country are
so honest that crime is almost IN
known. They never lock their
doors. and but two cases of thieving
are known to have taken place
within many years. One was an
Icelander who had broken his arm
and whose family in abe Winter was
suffering for food. He stole several
sheep, and was finally detected.
He was at one put under medical
care for his injury, provisions were
furnished for his family. and in
time he was given work. The
other case was a German who stole
seventeen sheep, the theft was
malicious. His punishment was to
sell all his property. restore the
value of his theft and leave the
country, or be executed. He left at
once.

She read an advertisement in some

way for brave little Emma to get
there and that was by walking. She
set off, however, on the lonely and
hazardous journey, only to find when
she reached her destination that ii
other girls had got there in advance
of her. Footsore and weary she
crossed the threshold of the room in
which the other applicants were

Her father, George Neale, lives on

last Friday the little girl, while care

house, uncovered q bright silver
dollar. She looked for more where
the discovery vas made without d
cess, but extending the range of the
prospect only q few yards away, she
found another dollar. Since last
Friday the little girl has picked up
20 silver dollars, one at a time. from
the soil about her home.
The coins were found generally q
