There was a certain bishop who
had a pleasant habit Of chatting with
anybody he might meet during his
country walks. says Tt-Bits. One
day he came across a lad who was
looking after some pigs by the road
side, and the bishop paused to ask
him what he was doing, that being
his usual opening to conversation.
"Moindin' swoine." the lad replied,
stolidly.
The bishop nodded his head
thoughtfully.
"Ah, is that so?" he commented.
"And how much do you earn a
week."
1.-TWO shillin's," was the reply.
"Only two shillings?" remarked
the bishop. Then he continued.
pleasantly: I too, am a shepherd,
but I get more than two shillings."
The lad looked at him suspiciously
for a minute, then he said, slowly:
"Mebbe you gets more swoine nor
me to moind."

VALLEY CjTY'S CHAUTAUQUA.

VALLEY CiTY'S CHAUTAUQUA.
The management Of the Chautau'
qua at Valley City Is to be congratu-
lated upon its success, and particu.
larly upon the publicity which il Is
receiving.
The Tribune is i'm receipt of a let
ter from Alex. Karr, secretary and
manager of the Chautauqua, calling
attention to two splendid Illustrated
stories which recently appeared in
magazines in the metropolitan class.
One article appeared in The Country
Gentleman, of Philadelphia, under
date of November 7, and which was
written by William Harper Dean. The
other appears in the Merchants Trade
journal OF DesMoines, Iowa, for No
vember.
These articles tell how the Valley
City Chautauqua is conducted, and
of the training which is given the
boys and girls and farmers wives.
Mr.. Dean in referring to the work,
uses the phrase, Making play Of the
work that 'breathes the very spirit or
the west So unique are all ar
rangements for getting the best posi-
bile results out Of the brief seventeen
days while in session, and so wonder
full are the achievements and the per-
lection of management that this
Chautauqua is attracting attention
over the entire United States.
Secretary Karr states that these
two mentions have come unsolicited,
and naturally are highly appreciated.
Ex-Governor White is president OF
the Valley City C"hautauqua associa'
ton and he and Mr.. Karr and all the
people interested are to be colgrat,
ulated upon the notoriety which the
institution is receiving.

STATE TERMINAL ELEVATORS.

This is the way the Price Current
Grain Reporter of Chicago sizes ur
North Dakota's terminal elevator
proposition:
THE voters of the state Of North
Dakota have apparently approved by
referendum the proposition of that
state owning and operating terminal
elevators within the stale. Up to the
middle of the month only a few coun'
ty clerks had made returns to the
secretary of state Of the actual vote,

possibility that the legislature may
collectively have the perspicacity TIC
see that building "terminar elevators
within the state of North Dakota
would be as useful as gliding the
golden cap OF any statue of Liberty
the state may happen to have stand
ing around the premises.
But this is not all. Two years
hence a constitutional amendment
authorizing the Legislature to buy or
build an elevator at the head Of the
lakes or in Minneapolis will come be
fore the people for approval or re
lection. The grain commissioners o:
the state in their report of 1908 prac'
tically recommended this foolishness,
but deferred to the fact that consti-
tutionally the state probably could
not go into the grain business. The
amendment to be voted on two years
hence is expected to confer that pow
