stood on his forehead; his teeth were
tight clinched on lips white and

Hay reached Impe- rial last Friday, 27th and held two servises in the church Sun day, an account of which will be found elsewhere in this issue.

THE N. D. CHAUTAUQUA.

One Of the things Of which
North Dakota people have a right
to feel proud is their Chautauqua
association, the annual assemblies
of which are held on the shores of
Legendary Devils Lake, near this
city. It has grown to be a.magni-
fcent institution from which.
radiates a moral, social and edu-
cational influence, the value Of
which cannot we'll be overestimat-
ed.
The assemblies bring people to-
gether from all parts Of the state
and many pleasant associations are
formed as a result Of these meet
ings. There is free discussion of
many important topics, in which
the public generally is interested,
and thinking people are furnished
much food for reflection, while the
lighter forms of entertainment are
clean and healthful. Freedom of
speech is generously tolerated, but
a high moral standard is upheld.
Quiet rest, entertainment and
instruction, both of a high order,
are what the visitors to the Devils
Lake Chautauqua finds and few
can afford to miss this years ses-
sion. A fine program has been ar
ranged and the very best of con-
veniences for entertaining visitors
provided, while the rates will be
as low as within reason can be ex-
fpected.
Those who attended last years
assembly will recall that there were
a number Of very brilliant adj
dresses. Equally as able orators
will speak this year and the Inter-
Ocean invites all to come and sit
down at the great intellectual
feast. It will pay you to make
extra efforts to be present.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial day should remind us
all of the debt of gratitude we owe
to the defenders Of the Union, both
dead and living. But for their
heroism and fortitude, displayed
on many a battlefield, this govern
ment, now recognized as one Of
the greatest on earth, would not
be in existence. It must have
gone down before the onslaught of
treason but for the brave men who
rallied so nobly to its defense
back in the sixties. This fact de-
serves to be indelibly stamped
upon the minds of the young SO
that they may never be tempted
to withhold from the Union sold
Ter that tribute of generation and
respect to which he is entitled
from all who love their country
and applaud patriotism.
A beautiful custom is that of
decking with flowers the graves Of
the nations heroes and it ought
never to be permitted to die out.
When the survivors of the Union
armies have passed away their
children should still continue the
observation of Memorial day, and
thus hand the custom down to
future generations to be forever
perpetuated. As an object lesson
portraying the value which a free
and enlightened people place upon
high examples of patriotism.
A broad significance attaches to
Memorial day which all may ap-
preciate, but none so fully as the
old Union soldier. To him the
day is fraught with solemn men,
cries. It recalls scenes Of the
camp, the march, the battlefield;
he sees again the mighty armies
in martial array; the dead and
dying are around him; he hears
once more the bravely spoken word
of command, the roll of musketry,
the roar of cannon, the shout of
victory, and for a day lives, as it
were, amid the shock and ruin and
glory of the mightiest conflict Of
the nineteenth century.
But the vision fades, and the
veteran realizes that he is no long
er young, fighting the battles of
his country, but old and dim Of
eye, stiff Of limb and feeble in
body, but in his heart there still
burns as warmly as ever the fire of
patriotism, and while he lives it
will never flicker and 60 out. Let
us all join with him on May Both,
in paying tender tribute to the
dead comrades whom he loved SO
well.
