No Flies on Garry.

Garrett Gahlmann kept his wet goods
emporium open Sunday from early in
the morning until late at night and the
shekels ran over the bar in stream in
to the till which had to be emptied sew
eral times during the day. Garry knew
that he was violating the law and as it
was his last chance, he tumbled to it.
Monday morning bright and early he
hunted up the chief of police and invlt-
ed the officer to accompany him to JUS
tice shop and make complaint against
him for selling drinks to the thirsty on
the first day of the week commonly
called Sunday. He did so, and Garry
stood up and with broad smile on his
face plead guilty and paid fine of S.
and costs, and returned to his place OF
business laughing to think he had "put
one over" somebody.
