Dessert Adjunct to BE Restored For
English Royalty.
One indication of the way In which
things are changing in England's new
reign is the announcement that King
George has caused it to be known
among those persons with whom he
may be dining during the coming sea-
con that he does NOT insist. as has been
the custom hitherto, on the absence of
finger bowls at dinner.
These dessert conveniences were ban
ished from the royal tables over
century and half ago at time when
certain adherents Of the young pre-
tender were wont to drink the health

ing their wineglasses across the finger
bowls and thereby signifying their ad-
herence to the old regime.
This custom of doing without finger
bowls obtained throughout the reigns
Of Queen Victoria and King Edward.
even when the latter was Prince OF
Wales and dined out privately with his
intimate friends, but the new king
despises these old fashioned supersti-
lions and traditions, and henceforth
the usual Accomplishments to dessert
will appear on the royal tables and on
the tables Of those who entertain
royalty.

MADE A CRIPPLE FOR LIFE
AWFUL ACCIDENT BEFORE A
MOVING MACHINE
Young Son of Hans Hanson Has
Foot Completely Severed-Very
Weak From Loss of Blood

On the Solfest Solverson farm two
miles southwest of the city, last Friday
evening, occurred an accident that makes
one shudder to recall. While the father
and mother came to town or were alb
sent from the farm, their two eldest
scns, aged eleven and nine years, went
to the field. a considerable distance
from the house, to cut hay with now
ing machine. BY some means the
lines became tangled and the younger
boy went to the horses heads to
straighten things out. The team start
ed quickly and the little fellow was
caught by the sickle bar. severing one
of his feet above the ankle joint. Not
withdrawing his lightness of stature
and youth, the eleven-year-o boy car
ried his brother to the house and il was
about two hours before medical aid
arrived. DR.. Surenson who was called,
said the lad was so nearly exhausted
from loss of blood that it was impossi-
Bile to administer anaesthetic, temper
airy relief being given. The morning
following the father and moth err
brought the boy to town where he was
treated in the usual way, and appears
to be getting along very comfortably.
DIR. Surenson says that the lad would
have died from loss of blood before he
arrived if it had not been for the fact
that the sickle was dull and the shoe
top was sawed and torn and flesh Jam
med and blunted.
This is certainly dreadful affection
to come to family and one the poor
boy must carry through life.

MAKES THE EAGLE SCREAM
Frank Mains as Fourth of July Or.
ator

From Conrad, Montana. which is next
to his home place, the CENSOR received
a pape giving an elaborate account of
the general county celebration held on
the Fourth. In it we find the follow.
ing comment on the orator of the oc-
cassion: "Hon. d. F. Mains, of Waller,
was the orator of the day, and deliver
ed strong address. He held the at
tention of the large crowd for nearly
an hour, and his address was thoroly
enjoyed. The speaker mentione d
briefly the rapid development which
this country is undergoing, and urged
his hearers to strive for those higher
ideals in public life which will make
for the highest and best citizenship in
this new and growing state. He paid
a high tribute to Conrad as a city and
her citizens, and by his cordial express
sions further cemented the ties of
friendship and neighborly feeling be-
tween two of the best little cities in
Montana Waller and Conrad. Mr..
Mains then went into an instructive
historical review of the stirring times
in which the nation first came into ex-
istence. The address was a particular
ly strong one, and was well delivered
1t was Mr.. Mains first appearance be-
fore Conrad audience, but it is not like
ly to be his last, as he made a most
favorable impression.

DEHORN THE ANTIER TEAM
VIROOUA BALLISTS WIN OVER
LACROSSE ELKS
Fine Fraternal Visit From the Broth
ers Who Came Last Sunday and
Brought Their Ball Team

That was jolly crowd of Hello
Bill fellows who came over from La
Crosse on Sunday to pay their respects
to the fraters in this city, and incident
ally to furnish amusement for the pub
lie. They arrived by train and auto
mobiles to the number of about forty,
and were accompanied by few ladies.
They all dined at Hotel Fortney and
then came the fun at the fair grounds,
when the locals met the regular Elks
team, which vanquished St. Paul and
other pretentiOus mines of late. II was
a game 10 be proud of on both sides,
resulting four to two in favor of Viro-
qua. The playing was of the top-notch
kind, many brilliant moves being made
| by individual members. La Crosse
battery was hard one to match. big
Burns. the invincible, being behind the
bat, where he has long record of sue
cesses. And the little Viroqua pitcher
and catcher, Rabbit and Hauge, brought
credit TO themselves and the whole club
by their fine work. We imagine that
Chris Burns must have experienced
heart burn and sickening trhob to be
twice struck out by mere kid, as the
boys characterize Bunny"
To the credit of all. it was a quiet
and orderly game, in fact fellowship
contest.
In auto rides, and at the homes of
local Elks, the visitors were enter
tanned. A goodly number were driven
to Maple Dale, where w. D. Dyson's
cottage and its surroundings provided
comfort and refreshment.
The party was sent home with God
bless 'yous, come again.
