SO intolerable that ushers OF the hall

guests arriving to partake Of it. Upon
the occasion Of his great feast at West

defend the threatened dishes.
Such was the uncivilized state Of So
ciety at this period, but when later on
the marauders disappeared from the
great houses it became customary to
carry in the dishes in procession, some
times preceded by music and headed
by the steward with his wand Of Office.

The sentence of the two Nelson
boys at Owatonna to be hung for the
murder of Harry Krier points a moral
SO plain that it hardly I. needs
to be stated. The crime was the direct
result of reading dime novels and hang
ing around saloons. These boys were
fascinated with the idea that desper-
ado is hero and they spent their time
in idleness so far as going to school or
learning trade or doing honorable
work was concerned. It is a sad case
at best but boys who will not be warned
must suffer the consequences of mis-
conduct. .13s M .S VI 3f355 3s
