his attention was called to some very
fine strawberries. He wished very
much to purchase some but, it being
SO very early in the morning, it occur
red to him that they must have been
picked on Sunday; and, of course, he
could not purchase or use anything
which had been procured under such
circumstances. He inquired Of the
