feast fit for a king. These word
pictures, magnificent and grand,
we're of course introduced to illus
trate points which the lecturer de-
sired to bring out with emphasis.
Mr.. Mcintyre will lecture at the
auditorium again tonight on
the subject, Thirty Days
in a Sunless World" 1t will be
grand oratorical treat and no one
in Devils Lake can afford to miss
It.
Following is the address in part
delivered by Mrs. Frances G. Hol-
ley, of Bismarck, on "The daugh-
ters of the American Revolution"
at the Auditorium, Tuesday even
ing, July II. After reading an
extract from the constitution of the
society, setting forth tits aims and
purposes, Mrs. Holley said:
You can thus see from our con-
stitution-that this organization is
builded upon a foundation into
which has entered, as component
parts, the same exalted principles
that have made us the grandest ma
ton on the face of the earth. It's
roll Of charter members closed on
the 18th day of October, 1891, with
eleven names and $33.O0in money;
today we have enrolled $1,000
women, ineal descendants of the
men that fought for American in
dependence; and among them some
Of the strongest characters of the
widest culture and diversity of at
tainments, the brightest, the most
benevolent and gentle-born of our
American womanhood. Our first
president-general, was the wife of
him, who was then President of
the United States; that rare wo-
man, whose memory is SO tenderly
enshrined in the hearts of all
American women, whose daily life
exemplifed all that is beautiful
and worthy in feminine character,
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison.
A word here concerning the work
in our state: In July, 1895, I was
elected the first state regent of
North Dakota by the National So
ciety in Washington. Among the
chapter regents that I appointed
in our different towns and cities of
our state, was Mrs. Sarah B.
Lounsberry, Of Fargo;. she has
been a most efficient and enthusi-
astic worker, and when I found
myself obliged to resign, as state
regent, from press of. other work,
having held the position four
years, Mrs. Lounsberry was ap-
pointed to the place which I va
Gated, in February, 1899, which
was especially gratifying to me, as
the second state regent would thus,
also, be, a native of Massachusetts.
This organization maintains no in
surance fund, and the fact that 50
many do insure, together with the
long distances from home, and the
old family relations, and our not,
thickly populated state, these con-,
ditions render eligibility difficult
to prove, often times, and member
ship, in consequence, harder to se1
cure than would otherwise be the
case,
we are each" bound to foster g.
love ofcountry, and to cherish the
Ememory<of those that on sea and
land offered up their lives, with
out stint or fear, for the establish
ment of q freedom that is the
glory of our republic,a the won
der and admiration of the world.
On the pages Of our lineage book
you can find the record of each
daughter, and can there learn her
direct lineal descent, besides much
that is valuable history in the add
ed incidents pertaining to the an
cestors. I desire. to especially call
your attention to our enrolment of
"Real Daughters" Of which we
have had ALI. and at present there
