BRED EMERSON BROOKS.

The popularity OF the high school
lecture course was enhanced last
evening by the entertainment vi
the poet-humorist, Fred Emerson
Brooks. Mr.. Brooks was greeted
by a large and apprsciative au-
d ence, and his readings evidently
pleased them, for the app ause was
liberal. His humorous productions
were wel1 received, but his original
poem. "iPickett's Charge at Gettys-
burg" was the selection that WI !
be remembered. It Is gem. 1t Is
the general Wish that Mr.. Brooks
be included in making Up the course
for The coming year.
