LIBERAL VIEW OF SUNDAY
Taken by an Episcopal Rector, Who Be
Iieves in Recreation.


Milwaukee, Dee. 3.-Rev. f. g..
Richardson, rector Of st. James
church, IN his sermon Sunday termed
the Puritan Sabbath monstrosity. He
said that Jesus Chrit or Paul of Tar
sus would denounce it as they de-
nounced the rabbinical Sabbath 1900
years ago. He said man was COM
posite in nature, with spiritual and
a natural side.
He should first attend to his devo-
tons and then spend the rest of Sun
day in seeking his own pleasure. 1t
might be golf. a dinner party or a
banquet. If the rich man was enti-
tied to have his club house open on
Sunday the poor man was also entitled
TO have his club house, the saloon,
open on the same day.

A. f Weisbeck; / entered the
lumber business when ! was twenty
one years of age down in Missouri,
and had been there but short time
before / had morbid curiosity to ex-
plore some of the mountains of the
Ozarks close by. So one day party
Of four including myself went out
horseback to see the country. We
had been riding along enjoying the
scenery for some time when | CHANGED
to look up the side of the mountain
and noticed three fellows gliding down
into a cave or retreat. yelled up TO
them and inquired as to what they
had up there. No answer came and
the fellows evidently did not desire
company. One of our party acting as
a guide informed US that we had bet
ter keep still and attend to our own
affairs as the strangers might be hos
tile. On our return later in the dav
my curiosity TO investigate more fully
into the condition of affairs up that
mountain side overcame my good
judgment and contrary to the wishes
OF our guide we made detour to gain
a better vision Of the retreat where
! we had seen the men disappear. We
had about reached a desired poin.
when crack went three Winchester
rifles above us and as many bullets
whizzed by our ears in such close
proximity that one of my friends re-
ceived hole in his hat. Well, now
we didn't remain in that locality very
long after that | can tell you and gave
up our explorations at once, fairly
tumbling over each other in our haste
to get out of harms way. On arriv-
ing home we told of our exploit and q
posse was formed and went out in
search.of the fellows but they had
flown. We learned afterwards that
they were a trio OF criminals that had
recently escaped from prison in that
country somewhere and we're desper.
ate men. Evidently they suspicioned
our party as being in pursuit o. them
and they shot to kill.

The cup that cheers. He first went to
Columbia fair, but was given little OPP
portunity there to display himself, as
the alert managers of that affair soon
spotted him and gently escorted him
from The hall. The young man then
went to drown his sorrows in more of
the white liquor" He became en-
gagged in a rather boisterous argument
with a man who could not escape his
forcible attentions, and once again was
escorted to the door. Then when they
would not again let him in. he raised

ports. \ couple of policemen hap
pered along, after their midnight
lunch, and the obstreperous youth soon

home for the reckless. The young
mans father heard of the trouble and
city officials wherever available were
implored to secure the youths release.
Finally the beseeching parent landed
up at the mayors residence. and after
posting S2a as \ guarantee that the
boy would appear at a hearing, tho
father was allowed to take the young
man to the parental roof. Yesterday
at the hearing the young fellow was
