be presented with a "royal order of the pavement" medal in com¬ memoration of their ability. The village has a still more delightful interest. An old curiosity shop, which is all that an old curiosity shop implies except in appearance. It is, in outline, a most modern up-to-date drug store, but towards the back it changes its character and becomes a muse¬ um. There is one of the most interesting collections of relics found anywhere on the Island. Some are not old, just merely interesting. Others are interesting and old. Some are quite valuable. This is what we saw and as nearly as I can remember, what we were told about them. There is a left forearm of a whale, which was dug up with mussel mud, a short distance from the village. On each side of it hangs an old fashioned tin lantern with space inside for a candle. The lanterns are not so very old in years, though they certainly are out of date. There are two sets of old fashioned hanging scales, similar to a set in the Kensington Museum in London. There is a shillalah, a miner's lamp, a bomb, a fine collection of old coins, a reaping knife, part of a caribou's antler. There is a tree branch which has grown through a tumbler. And talk about luck! There are three horseshoes, they're no ordinary ones, either. It seems to me that if a man really wanted a horse to stay in one particular spot forever, all he would have to do, would be nail it solidly to the animal's foot. Horseshoes may be that lucky, but I scarcely imagine that any horse would consider himself lucky if presented with one of these. There are chainhand cuffs, which are oh so very effective. There is a part of a ship - something which holds something else, or some¬ thing, I forget which. A prosperity Certificate and a German 200,000 mark bill, lie sul¬ lenly together on the counter. I suppose, in the night, they awake and console each other there for their respective defeats. EARLY SETTLERS Most of the early settlers on P.E.I , emigrated from the British Isles and France. All came in sailing vessels; hence the earliest settlements were along the coast. For many years the interior remained uninhab¬ ited. Island districts were slow to grow as not many opportunities were available to new families moving in, but as travelling condi¬ tions warranted, families began to move from one place to another and a few small inland settlements were established. The Village of O'Leary actually owes its origin to the building of the P.E.I , railway which provided both transportation and communi-
