Sunday Closing.


the columns Of his few daily fol
the last few days in a spasmodie
effort to arouse a sentiment against
the new Sunday closing ordinance.
Judging from his rem 2rks he evi
IDENTIFY h0s lead pipe cinc1 on the
new council III favor Of its imne
date repeal. He a CUES that III
less people who contemplate visi,-
ing Oc2la are guaranteed the priv
elege of buying cigar, newspaper
and glass Of soda on Sunday, they
will go somewhere else.
In his editorial yesterday, and in
fact, in al the editorials he b. s
written Oh the subject he talk,
like this: GA man who travels
and gets here on Sunday has nth
ing 20 do. He wants paper to
read, cigar to smoke or a glass
of soda water to drink. People
who are not inclined to keep open
on Sunday do not have to do SO
Let those who want to close, keep
closed, and those who want to open
let them stay OPEN"
This, then is the argument OF
those who would openly defy the
law and destroy the sanctity of the
Sabbath. As rue the visitors
who tarrY within our gates don't
spend all day Sunday smoking c.
CARS, drinking soda water ard
reading newspapers. It woul be
a very easy matter to buy enough
o,gars and reading matter On Sat
urday to do them over Sunday, tae
way we do with cur groceries, etc
If they are so unfortunate as to az
rive hercs on Sunday without
knowledge Of our law, it won't
hurt them Or our town very much
t. do without one day, in order to
find out that we are Iaw-abiding
citizens. Then again, our Sunday
observance laws are not enacted
wholly to accommodate a few visi-
tors who come here for no ether
purpose than to spend Sunday in
S noking, drinking soda and read
ing newspapers. Sunday reading
can easily BE- obtained through the
mails or on week days.
The injunction of Our young
journalist in regard to advising all
merchants and shop-keepers "who
want to open on Sunday let them
stay open," is as silly as it is redic-
uIous. What q noble example as
a public educator of the people
Openly melting them to a most
fragrant violation of the laws of
our state. L ct such a sentiment
be fixed in the minds Of our peo-
pie and we would not be able to
distinguish Sunday from Saturday.
Grocery stores, market houses,
clothing houses, saloons, billiard
and pool rooms aud in fact every |
thing but our banks would soon |
be in full blast.
While we may have an occasion
al newspaper man who is foolish |
enough to advocate such g. doctrine
in open defiance Of state law, We
have nine aldermen, majority at
least of whom are not built that
way. In passing the Sunday clcs-
ing ordinance they were simply |
endorsing the statutes enacted by |
our state legislature only four
years ago. one section Of which |
reads as follows: whoever fol-
lows any pursuit, business or trade
on Sunday, either by manual labor
or with animal or mechanical pow
er, except the same be work of
necessity, shall be punished by
fine rot exceeding $50"

her bright dream of married bliss, She
sat with her sisters letter in her hands,
her face pale and tear-stained, her eyes
filling aircsh as she tried to realize the
fact that Carl reioiced in her absence, and
lost no time in summoning his boisterous
bachelor friends to him.
But even while her cheeks were wet
with tears, and her heart as heavy as stone,
she sprang up, crumbling the fatal letter
within her trembling hand.
81 will 90 home at once she cried
playing, wine drinking, smoking revellers
accuse Carl of his treachery, and then
then will seek home with Susan, until
| can find some means of again establishing
myself at my trade"
Mrs Maynard never paused to consider
the sense or wisdom of this decision, but
acted promptly upon it. She took the
train which left Greenwhich at six o'clock,
and cached her own door at half past
eight Thursday evening.
TO her establishment there was no sign
of iestivity going on within-no light at
any window no boisterous voices, nor
clinl of wine glasses: and when she walked
majestically into the house, she found
Carl sitting alone in the library reading
the evening news
"Why, Eunicen' he cried, throwing the
paper aside and running to meet her.
"This is an unexpected pleasure
Carl" faltered his wife, almost falling
into his extended arms.
He drew her close kissing her trembling
lips.
"What is it dear? Are you ill?'
ooh, no! Only l thought Carl-are you
really glad to see me?'
"Indeed l am, you naughty truant. But
you have spoiled my surprise"
what SURPRISE"
"You shall see. Come and inspect"
He opened the door which led to the
front of the house. Here Eunice saw piles
of newly dug earth, many lengths Of sewer
pipe, great bronze basin, and several tall
bulky objects propped against the trees
and shrouded in white canvas.
carl" cried Eunice, .'what does this
mean?'
"You are to have your fountain and
statuettes, my darling" said Mr.. Maynard.
81 found they would not cost very much,
after all so Brynne the plumber, went to
work at the job early this morning, and it
was to have been finished before you re-
turned.
Eunice burst into tears.
ooh Carlr' she sobbed. 81 have been so
mean and foolish-have thought such
dreadful things about YOU And she
gave him her sisters letter.
Carl read it with a merry twinkle in his
handsome dark eyes.
81 am sure" said he, 81 am much
obliged to Susan for her good opinion of
me-
"But, Carl" faltered Eunice, 81 have
been just as bad"
"Well, dear he replied, you will be
wiser next time"
So they kissed and made up, and drove
the shelton out of the cupboard, and all
was sunshine once more. But sister Susie
never came to the little palace again, nor
was she missed by her brother-in-law.-

HE KNEW HOW

baby beaver was caught and given to
a gentleman as pet. Beavers, as you know,
build dams in which they make their home.
But here was this poor baby, living in a
house where there was no possibility of his
having the kind of home that he would
love to have. One day, when the little
beaver was in the kitchen, a leaky pail was
put on the floor. The moment the baby
beaver saw the water running in little
stream across the floor, he ran out into the
yard, and appeared in a minute with a
chip. The gentleman who owned the bea-
yer was called to see him. The chip was
placed in such way as to stop the water,
and the beaver hurried out and came in
with another bit of wood and then some
mud. Orders were given that the beaver
was not to be disturbed, but allowed to
work out his plan; and in four weeks he
had built solid dam around the pail in
which was the water

BOYS AND MATCHES.
Probable Cause of the Hotel
Columbia Barn Fire Mon
day Afternoon.

The Columbia hotel barn, situated
in the alley between First and Sec
ond streets, narrowly escaped de-
struction by fire ut about 5 O'Clock
Monday afternoon.
The building is frame structure
with a high loft, in which, there was
considerable loose hay. When first
discovered this hay was all ON fire
and flames and smoke were issuing
from the gable windows.
The fact that the building was
located in the business portion of the
city, With several frame buildings
and much inflammable material in
close proximity to it, spurred the
fire department to extra effort, and
it's work In putting the fire out was
both rapid and effective.
A stream from the chemical was
turned into the burning loft and the
fire was checked and held under con
troll until the two streams from the
hydrants completely drowned it out
before but very little damage had
been done to the building:
The origin vt the fire was undoubt-
eddy the work of some small boys,
who were playing in the loft. Sey-
eral of them were seen coming from
the barn loft after the fire was dis
covered, yelling fire as Justify as their
lungs would permit.
They were very small and, no
doubt, were playing with matches.
The damage done to the building
will not exceed go, and the other
property destroyed was ton Of hay
and a quantity Of oats. The loss on
the building Is covered by insurance
