report, He declined to make any
statement concerning the matter,
neither affirming or denying it.

The library and building committee

conference with Mr.. r. T. Frost
the Minot architect last Thursday
evening in the club rooms. Mr.. Frost
made a special trip to Williston to
discuss plans for the James Memoir

plans best suited to the special needs
and purposes of Winston were pre-
sented and considered. General plans
of one building were approved and a
motion carried instructing Mr. Frost
to furnish the committee plans in
detail at an early date. After which
contractors bids will be considered
and the work pushed steadily forward
SO that excavation may commence as
early in the spring as possible.
The proposed building will be of
buff colored pressed brick and will be

King Didn't Appreciate Gifts

Sir Richard Burton was dispatched
on a mission to the King of Dahomey
in 1863. Queen Victoria sent her fel-
low monarch a crimson silk tent, a
richly embossed silver pipe, two silver
waiters,'a coat of mail and a pair of
gauntlets. After a weeks experience
of these treasures the king informed
Sir Richard that the tent was very
handsome, but too small to sit under
in that climate, and the only thing
he liked about it was the gingerbread
lion on the top of the pile. He liked
his old red clay pipe better than the
silver one; he considered the trays
very handsome but too small to use

hands into the gauntlets. He would
have been much more grateful if the
queen had sent him a carriage and a
pair OF horses and a white wife. How
ever to show his appreciation of her
good intentions he sent some native
pipes and tobacco for her majesty's
smoking, a selection of embroidered
loin cloths and an umbrella to be
held over her head when drinking.
