Sunday Tru,iinn

A German shopkeeper went one Sun
day morning to IA customer in order to
demand the payment of long neglect
ed account. The police heard of this
and regarded it as a violation of the
new law against trading during the
hours of worship The offender was
cited and fined He appealed to the
kammergericht, and was discharged as
innocent. What the law expressly for
bids, said the kammergericht Is any
public or open labor or trading within
the prescribed time.
On the police Interpretation two men
who talked incidentally about their
business relations ON Sunday morning
on their WAY To church might be arrest
ed as violators of the law which would
be palpaply tNrannical and absurd. This
recalls the good old tale of two Sabba-
tartan farmers who hit upon casuisti-
cal method of doing trade on the Lord $
day without breaking the fourth com
mandment. What would you give for
that calf asked one IF it were not

AMusEMENTs.

That lovely romance Of the New
Hampshire hills "My Son Ben" with
John Jack in the star role. was the at
traction at the Opera House last night.
and although the audience was limited
in numbers, It's enjoyment was full to
overlooking. The quaint dialogue is
full of fun and sorrow alternately,
while the scenery is a feature that adds
largely to the completeness OF the pro-
duction. The engagement continues
this afternoon and tonight, and large
audiences should be attracted for both.
The attraction surely deserves patron
