THE LAW IN ICELAND. Prisoner Could Not be Locked Up Because He Had Lost Warrant. In the midst of all the debate awak ened, especially in England. by Hall Caine's treatment of the problem of his "Prodigal Son," as yet there has been said not a word of the novelist's praise of Iceland customs and mor als. The Anglo-Saxon world knows nothing of such primitive honesty as is known in that northern land,' nor does Europe. S:ephen Marshall, the "factor" of a great London trading-house, station ed now at Reykjavik, who knows the Island better than any other Euro pean, declares that scarcely would it be possible to exaggerate upon the native's respect for any least outward expression of the law. Marshall says he was crossing the wild country that lies between Reyk javik and Akureyri, the chief among the northern trading stations, about two years ago, w4hen he met a man riding 'his pony toward the capital. "What is your name?" asked the factor. "Stefan." "Whose son?" "Thorsteinsson." "Where are you going?" Fourt of 1 Choice Ten Just R( While it last Best Patent, cott< Best Half Patent Best Straight $5.

Whereupon the two exchanged snuff and parted. Four days later, as Marsball was returning, he again met this felfow, evidently on the way back to his home. "What?" he exclaimed, naturally surprised. "Stefan Thorsteinsson? Why, you said you were going to prison." "So I was, and I went; but they would not let me in." "Why not?" "I somewhere'lost the warrant, and the sheriff at Reykjavik said he could not receive me without it." "But why then are you not already at home. You should have made the journey in two days." To this, the answer may sound with a comic-opera note to American read ers, but in it, says Marshall, lies the care of the whole Icelandi reverence I for the machinery of the law: Stefan. had lost two days' time looking for the warrant which would have locked him up.-Chicago Record-Herald. h Car hat essee Foo ceived. s it goes for )n $6.00 cotton $5.35 25 75 cents. 1 .75 ed fresh and all right, y BROS.
