Hanging FOR Stealing Sheep.

Until 1927 stealing a sheep was a
capital crime in Great Britain. An
act OF that year removed the distinc-
ton between grand and petit larceny;
before that year the theft of goods
above the value OF IL pence, in the
house of the owner though not from
his person, was a capital crime. In
1900 over 200 and in 1919 about 1870
crimes we're punishable by the death
penalty.

side is active, aggressive, and

who have gained their faith by
fighting for better politics. In
comparison, the mental bank.

CITY FOLKS WANT TO.
SHOW AND TELL US HOW

The following editorial appear
ed in the last issue of the Ken
mare News:
There is nothing more irrita--
ting to the people of small
town than the air of superiority
that people from larger towns
have towards them and their vii
lage. 1t is hard to say just what
prompts the city man to feel
greater than the villager, but he
almost invariably does and what
makes it worse, shows it in his
actions.
It is the weakness of city peo-
pie, this belief of theirs that
country people are back numbers
The man from city concern
pays the country business man a
visit and shows plainly that he
considers the little merchant a
very small potato; but if he We're
wise enough to realize the truth
Of their respective businesses, he
would know that the back num-
Der merchant, as he looks upon
him, is laying by each year more
than the city chap is drawing
as a hired man. for a company
that could MndTa thousand like
him in a days time.
The narrow-brained lecturer
drops into the small town, and
at the beginning Of his talk,
mentions, that he has changed
his subject, ''for fear the one
announced would be over the
heads of his audience" and then
proceeds to ramble along for a
couple Of hours with stale stories
and disconnected ideas, boring
his audience half to death. The
Chautauqua entertainer, until
he has had a good deal Of ex-
perience; the travelling salesman,
up to the time he becomes of
some value to his house; the
transient visitor, on a chance
business or pleasure trip; the
young city employe, before he
learns the lessons of the relation
o capital to- business, wherever
it is employed-all of them make
the same mistake of misjudging
the capacity, the intelligence
and the character of country
people.
If there is such a thing as
superiority between city and
country folks, the latter have
the best opportunity of securing
it. But as people, there is no
difference between those who
live in the country. They all
read the same newspapers, the
same magazines and the same
books; they hear the same lectur
ers, and see the same theatrical
performances; they attend the
same high schools and graduate
from the same colleges and uni
versities; they take the same
trips visit the same vacation
resorts, and makes % many ex-
cursions abroad; they ride in
