the West Minister was little more than
the Monastery chapel. in which the
presence of the parish folk, II not for
hidden, was still in no way encourag-
ed. To-day, when the Lord lvarsdale
came unnoticed into the dim light
while the last strains of the vesper
service were rising. there were no
more than a score of worshipers scat
tered through the north aisle. After n
searching glance around him. the

mer day was the shade in the great
rave. with the ever-burning candles to
remind one of the eternal stars. From
the throats OF the hidden choir the
last note swelled rich and full, to
roll out over the pillared aisles in a
wave OF vibrant sound and pass away
in sigh of ineffable sweetness under
the rafters.
AS he bowed his head In the holy
hush that followed, the hush OF souls
before a wordless benediction. some
of Sebert's bitterness gave way to a
great compassion. What were we all.
when all was told, but wrong-doers
and mourners? Why should one hold
anger against another? In pity for
himself and the whole world, his heart
aohed within him. as rustling of
gowns and a shuflling of feeptold that
the worshlpers had risen from their

the bird he sought was not of their
number. He stared blindly at the
pilgrim as the wanderer shunled past

VOTERS ATTENTION.

The attention of the voters is
called to tina proposed constitu-
tional amendment eliminating
the location of the institution for
Feeble Minded from jamestown
and locating it at Grafton and
will be voted upon at the coming
election, November 9Th.
Most of our readers are ac-
quainted with the fact that Graf.
ton now has that institution and
that the appropriations have heen
used. Vote for the institution
for Feeble Minded to remain at
Grafton.
Through the Enabling Act, ad-
Knitting the Territory of Dakota
to statehood, and by subsequent
acts of Congress the sum of $780,
900 was donated to the state of
North Dakota for the purpose of
erecting an institution for Feeble
Minded. In the spring of 1902,
in accordance with the provisions
of chapter SO, Session Laws Of
1901; Governor White appointed
the first board of Trustees and
they proceeded to erect the
building, using the money appro.
priated by Congress toward that
end. The eighth legislative as.
sembly appropriated $685. to
complete the building as planned,
and also $1,000 for furnishing
same and $25,00 for mainten.
ence to March 1st, 1905. The
building was completed in &C.
