Between twenty and thirty viola

Main street Not Trnding.
But even with the numerous viola
tors reported. tho blue laws were moro
widely observed yesterday. perhaps.
than on any other day since closer OBJ
servance was started and tho laws
against violation made more strin-
gent.
Most notable among those who
closed their doors against an unex-
pecting public were the two confec-
tioneries at Seventh and Main Streets.
one of which was reported TO an off,
Ger last sunday by Rev. Henry Pearce
Atkins. AS tho agitation against these
two places. because they arc at a
street car transfer point and in the
path of those who collect their mail
on Sunday or catch IA train, was more
pointed than against others, their clos
ing was the more marked. and many
man, woman and child who went there
expecting to get limeadc. a piece of
pie or a glass OF milk was disappoint-
ed.
SO the situation resolved itself into
a toss-up as to whether the pie-hungry
man or he whose throat bcsought the
cooling influence of nectarine drink
should travel out of the beaten path
and get what he wanted or carry his
desire home with him to nurse until
another day.
And casual observer would believe
that the former course was chosen.
and that those who kept open made
profit out of those who closed down.
1t Is conceded to be one OF the traits
of human nature that a man wants
most that which is hard to get. and
this trait, so common in the family
of Adam and Eve. seemed yesterday
to come moro than ever to the surface
and to remain there.
