easy It was in the little town OF
Valhalla, where a large proportion OF
the residents are Germans. The Dis

saloons and the Germans to get their
beer regularly had organized so-called
social and literary clubs, which were

There were half a dozen OF more such
clubs in this little burg, and finally
the prosecuting attorney got after
hem and had the managers arrested.
The man on trial was endeavoring to
prove that his organization complied
with the law in that it was social and
literary. To prove his case he placed
an old German upon the stand. In the
course of the cross-examinatiOn the
prosecutor asked:
"Mr. Hartmann, what periodicals

Aram's victim was found whole, but
the analogy between his case and that
