belief. At any rate it might DO takon as
symbolic of tho gift Of tho race Of men
which France made to this country.

Gourdon is o tiny dot, was just tho

jump into the carriages and search ev-
erywhere under the seats aud in corners
for tho scraps Of luncheon left by the

pay no attention to local trains, because
little or no food is left in them owing

The Proper Spirit.

The lnkster Tribune issues a note of
warning to the newspapers against
giving space to the Chautauqua to be
heldsats Devils Lake next July. The
Tribune is all wrong and this warning
and advice is all talk and out of place.
The Chautauqua association is not q
local or money making organization.
1t is a. state organization of which any
true North Dakotan ought to be proud
and is entitled to the moral and per-
sonal support Of any paper in this state.
Last year the newspapers did the
handsome thing by the ASSOCIATION and
it was duly appreciated. After it is a
little older and better fixed financially
the association will be only too pleased
to pay for advertising space, but it is
just at present struggling to pay for
it's beautiful grounds and keep going,
and, as stated above, every loyal North
Dakotan should assist in every possible
way. So far as the Herald is concerned,
the association can have all the
assistance We can give both in space
to advertise attractions and supporting
the association.-Nelson County
