vice which closed the convention.
The gathering was, indeed a
very helpful and inspiring one
throughout, each paper and de-
partment study being amply dis
cussed by the delegates present,
which developed all the phases of
the League work and made the
convention one Of lasting impress
sions and helpful suggestions
which will work great good among
the young people Of the state.
From Mondays daily. :
Sunday was not only q beautiful
day. SO far as the weather condi-
lions we're concerned, but it was a
day fraught with enjoyment to all
attending the Chautauqua-enjoy-
ment that was mnasrred only by the
sad accident resulting in the loss
of a human life. Lack of space,
however, prevents our giving more
than the merest summary Of the
doings.
Most of the newspaper men
present Saturday remained over
Sunday, and for them there were
two very pleasant events. First
was a steamboat ride to Ft. Totten;
second banquet at the Oakwood
cafe rendered them by the direc-
tors of the Chautauqua.
Captain Herman had cour-
teously extended to the representa-
tives of the press an invitation to
enjoy a trip across the lake and
they gladly accepted it. At 10
o'clock the editors and their wives
and best girls boarded the Minnie
H, and after a delightful ride of an
hour we're put down at the Fort
Totten landing. A marching
column was formed and headed by
the Indian band, which accompan-
led the excursion, the column
marched to the Indian camping
ground where they we're one by
one introduced to Chief Little Fish
who later addressed them through
an interpreter in a very intelli-
gent manner. The party returned
to the Chautauqua grounds at
2 o'clock.
The banquet was held at 4
o'clock, and like the excursion,
proved thoroughly enjoyable.
The menu provided by Mine Host
Reid was a splendid one and did
credit to his culinary force.
After all had partaken OF the feast
several brief speeches were made.
Col. a.. M. Creel in a neat and
witty speech thanked the editors,
in behalf Of the Chautauqua
association, for the encouragement
they had lent the enterprise.
Other speakers were F. A. Ward
we'll, Of Pembina county, Supt.
Croker, of Ransom county, E. II.
Kent, president of the Press
Association, Editor De La Bere, of
the Sheldon Progress, and Mayor
Brown.

than speak himself, but he could
not refuse to comply with the re-
quest Of the ladies'. Senator Hans
brough gave political tinge to
his remarks by comparing the de-
clarations Of the Republican and,
Democratic platforms adopted at
Philadelphia and Kansas City
respectively, but made no de-
auctions therefrom, so that his
speech was entirely free from the
spirit Of partizanship. He pre-
dicted a hustling campaign, said
he was glad to have his feet on the
soil of North Dakota once more,
but was surprised at the wonder
full growth the Chnutauqua ap-
peared to have taken on. He had
been prepared by what he had
read in the newspapers to expect
many changes on the grounds but
the transformation was beyond his
expectations. Senator Hansbrough
then introduced Miss Maria T..
Sanford who spoke on "How to
Make Home Happy"
A more entertaining discourse
than that delivered by Miss San
ford has not been spoken at the
Chautauqua this year. It was
frightened by flashes of wit, tinged
here and there by pathos and
eloquence and logical throughout.
What we want to make home
happy, she said was not more
money but more heart love.
Among the recipes that she an
nounced for a happy home was
ambition-ambition on the part of
the father and mother to improve
their home surroundings and make
them better and more cheerful,
contentment hat corrects every
defect possible and patiently en-
dures the rest. Women, she said,
should also know what to want,
while important as anything else
was that the housewife should
known how to c%ontrive. There
must also be provision of proper
household utensils for the wife.
These things of course cost money
but many a man who neglects to
provide them as he ought on the
plea that he is poor, chews up a
cookstove every year. To make
home happy, good cooking was
also essential and Miss Sanford
advised that the girls learn this
art thoroughly, telling them that
the straightest road to a mans
heart was through his stomach.
Likewise there should be thought
fulness in the home for each other
! and a love for the beautiful. She
hoped to see the time when the
girls would scorn to sweep the
floor or the streets withgtheir dress
skirts and when they would think
it q crime to cut themselves in two
at the waist. But above every
thing else to make the home happy
there must be the religion of love,
not straight-laced Puritanism, but
bright cheerful religion, for pitiful
indeed is that home where there is
no recognition of God.

an auditorium or such magnificent
surroundings as at Devils Lake.
MI. Dolliver paid a fine compli-
ment to the weekly press, the
moral and political influence Of
which he said was greater than
that of the big city dailies. He
dwelt at some length upon the
sphere, integrity and character Of
the journalism Of the day and de-
clared that the function of the
editor is one of the greatest in the
world.
At the close of Mr. Delivers
address the Wesleyan. quartet sang
a selection and then Dr.. May gave
way to President F. A. Wardwell
who called the business meeting of
the Press Association to order.
The boys we're first invited to
walk up to the desk Of the secre-
tary and treasurer and pay their
annual dues which they did with
an ease and grace that were COM
mendable.
There were no committee reports
to be heard, and after the report
of the secretary and treasurer had
been read, the election of officers
for the ensuing year took place.
The treasurer's report showed a
balance of cash on hand amount
ing to $205. 81, so that financially
the association is in good condi-
ton.
Officers were elected as follows:
President-E. III. Kent, of the
Lakota Herald.
First vice president Prof.
Woods, of the Grafton Record.
Second vice president-Mrs. S.
E. Bates, of the Grafton News and
Times.
E. L.. Richter, Of the Larimore
Pioneer, was made chairman of the
executive committee the additional
members chosen being w. F.
Gushing, Fargo; Captain Moffet,
Bismarck; NJ. H. M[orril, Wahpe-
ton; and W. G. Taylor, of La
Moure.
MI. Wardwell now thanked the
members of the Press Association
for the c~ourtesies extended to him
during the past year, and then
surrendered the presiding officers
chair to his newly elected success
sor.
Some discussion ensued as to
where the next years meeting
should be held, but it was finally
unanimously agreed hat the best
place of all was at Devils Lake
during the Chautauqua assembly,
and it was so ordered.
Owing to the limited time at
the disposal Of the association it
was thought best not to have the
papers prepared for the occasion
read, and on motion of Phil
Short, of the Devils Lake News,
it was ordered that they be printed
in the official record of the pro-
ceedings.
The executive committee was
authorized to draft resolutions and
prepared the following:
RESOLUTIONS.
RESOLVED, That we are gratifed
at the growing interest in the AS
ISOLATION and the increased attend.
) ance at the present meeting; that
we trust the editors and publishers
in the state may see the advantage
to be gained by joining the Asso.
citation. and that increased efforts
may be made to cultivate a truly
~fraternal spirit and a more thor.
ough spirit of cooperation among
> the members.
