An Evening of Song and Recitation.


The program given by the Mankato
Commercial College Literary society was
well attended last evening by an ap-
speculative and enthusiastic audience.
in the absence of the president, Mr..
Olson, Mr. J. T. Tallman presided with
excellent presiding officer. The opening
and closing selections by the orchestra
was we'll received and the orchestra
shows the results of careful and ear
nest work.
Miss Henley gave recitation in a
very pleasing manner and she was hear
tiIy applauded
Mr. Everett Dodds delighted the au-
diencc with his rendition of Scotch
songs and was obliged to respond to
an encore which he gave in his own
inimitable manner
Mr.. Coppedge in an impromptu
speech held his audience speIl-bound
with recital of the experience OF
an office girl. He wove 4 romantic and
thrilling story about her adventure
with 4 supposed burglar and thug
and after bringing his audience TO
realize the horror OF the climax he
let them drop with q dull thud which
was as mirth provoking as bis reel
tai was exciting. ar
r Miss Goodwin in her piano solo show
ed that she is an artist of more than
usual ability.
One OF the most pleasing features
of the evening was the several Either
solos given by Mr. Poske of North
Mankato. Mr.. Poskc is:,a past-mas-
ter of the art of playing this instru-
ment and the sweet and melodiOus
strains kept the audience almost breath
less.
The college paper, "The SledGe Ham
mer' was read by its editor, Mr.. Buen-
ger. The motto of the paper did not belle
its name. IF you can't knock, don't
boost" and its knock and grips were
well received. ,l Vs.
Mr.. Bailcy's reading was short and
proved a good satire ON some of the
methods of teaching.
The debate was one of the pleasant
surprises of the evening, as it showed
powers of oratory that was not sup
rCsed to exist. Miss Fanslow in her
discussion and rthuitil aroused the
greatest of enthusiasm, and her effort
is worthy of special mention. The
other dcbatels did well and presented
their arguments in convincing style.
The Judges gave the decision in favor
of the affirmative.

was we'll carried out and a most hear
ty invitation is extended to the people
