In opening the convention, Mrs

I've studied parliamentary law
With brain and muscles aching,
And Roberts Rules of Order
Till thought my back was break
ing:
I've bought me Bacon's Essays
And Cicero's Orations
And Washington Farewell Address
! And Webster's Defamation.
I've worked from morn till dewey eve
On fiction. fact and fable:
I've practiced gestures wild and
wierd
Before my dressing table.
I've tried to fit myself, I have,
With all these things I mention,
And several more prerequisites,
To open this convention.
And 10, it's here-the very hour,
! And it becomes my duty
To call to order this array
Or wisdom, wit and beauty:
Where now my high flown phrases,
My eloquent abandon
We gods they've left me high and dry
And not a. thing to stand on.

To Test Sunday 'Blue Law"

The ancient Sunday t'''blue law,
which has been in a sort of comatose
condition on the statute books of
Maryland for time immemorial, has
been resurrected in Chestertown and
will be imposed to the strict letter, it
is said.
The first to feel the effects of this
bit of antiquity We're the proprietors
of the Chestertown Candy Kitchen,
who were arrested by Officer Samuel
f. Cooper for selling Mr.. Preston
Woodall a glass of milk shake.
The Candy Kitchen proprietors Sc
cured the service of Hope H. Barroll,
Esq, while States Attorney H. w.
Vickers, it being his official duty, was
called upon to prosecute the case. Mr..
Barroll waived hearing before Police
Justice Rogers, Monday, until the
April term of the Circuit Court.
This relic of other days became a
law nine years before George Wash
my IOl sd" Glib llSlG VI ddy. II was
first originated in 1923, but revised at
various times until 1866. 1t is as fol-
lows:
"No person in this state shall sell,
dispose of, barter, or, if dealer in
any one or more of the articles of
merchandise in this section mentioned
shall give away on the Sabbath day,
any tobacco, cigars, candy or soda or
mineral water, spirituous or ferment-
ed liquors, etc, or any other goods,
wears or merchandise whatsoever, and
any person violating any one of the
provisions of this section shall be
liable to indictment in any court in
this State having criminal jurisdic-
ton, and upon conviction thereof shall
be fined not less than $50 nor more
than $50, in the discretion of the court
for the first offence, and if convicted
a second time for violation of this
section, the persons so offending, shall
be fined not less than $50 nor more
than $500, and be imprisoned for not
less than 10 nor more than 30 days, in
the discretion of the court, and his
license, if any was issued, shall be
declared null and void by the Judge
of said court" etc.
1t also says further, that "this does
not apply to milk or ice dealers in
supplying their customers, or to apo
thecaries in putting up bona fide pre-
scriptions.
