C%HAUTAUQUA CHAT.

The lecture program for the sea-
son of 1902 at the Devils Lake
Oh autauqua Association is replete
wit b good things. This year spec
iial attention has been paid to this
par t ofsthe program with the result
that some of the most entertaining
talent procurable in the country
has been secured. Each speaker
will treat Of a subject in which he

high educational degree.
Secretary LaRue, in speaking
-sof this part of the program stated
to a representative Of this paper
that the association had spared
mel Their pains nor expense in max
ing the selection for the coming
season. There is a large field OF
lecturers from which to make a
choice and nothing but what was
considered exceptional was con-
tracted for. The result Of this
care on the part of the association
will be that the public attending
Chautauqua next July will have
one Of the greatest intellectual
:feasts'. presented to it that has been
gathered together in the northwest
daring such a brief space Of time.
The subjects which will be- con-
;sidered from the lecture platform
at the Auditorium will be varied
and will meet the taste Of every
person. The idea Of the Chautau.
qua lectures is educational, but al
the same time it is also the desire
and aim of the'Association to have
the subject presented in q manner
which will be pleasing to both ole
and young. This important point
has been carefully considered in
making the selection fer the APP
preaching season. It can be said
without extravaganza that the pro.
gram which will be presented this
season will be even better and
mo re entertaining than what has
been given to the public in past
