CHANTICLEER READING
Miss Maud Hayes Reeited Excerpts
From Rostad's Fine Criticism of
Modern Social Life.

A very large audience greeted Miss
Maud Hayes, head of the department
OF reading and expression at the Moor
head normal school, in her recital Of
excerpts from Rostand's great play,
depicting social life, Chanticleer. Her
reading of the parts she gave occupied
more than an hour, her selections be-
ing principally the parts in which the
Chandelier appears. She exquisitely
portrayed the fine criticism on modern
social life, filled, as the play is, with
the more fine philosophy of life ami
from beginning to end she commanded
the close attention of her hearers who
demonstrated close following of the
the very interesting points of the text.
Professor Powers of the music de-
partment, contributed two vocal selec-
tions at the beginning OF the reading
and two at the close.
After the reading Miss Hayes was
met by great many people and she
was inundated with hearty congratu-
lations for the display of her rare abil-
ity as reader and the general COM
ments on her success in demonstrating
the opposite, to what some people had
other ideas of, that Rostand's Chanti-
cleer is one of the finest efforts ever
presented in dramatic form.

NO MONEY FOR fight

New York, May S0.-Although
Knockout Brown defeated Tommy
Murphy in exactly forty seconds of
fighting, he will receive only a few
dollars as his share of the $500 gate
receipts, while Murphy win cash a
check for a cool $4,000. BY agreement
the check for $4,000 was turned over
to Murphy before the fight to guaran-
tee his appearance, and Brown agreed
to take whatever balance remained
from the gate receipts after the ex-
penses were paid. The house was
much smaller than expected and
Browns share will not exceed $50 or
$50, 1t is said.
Brown declares that he is not GO
ing to complain, however. He plans o
meet Matt Wells, the English light
weight champion as soon as the matter
is ready and make up his loss on last
nights bout. Wells arrived here early
today on the liner Castleland.

BASEBALL GAMES
PLAYED TOMORROW
COLLEGES WILL MEET ON THE
FARGO COLLEGE DIAMOND TO-
MORROW PROVIDING THE FIELD
is NOT TOO MUDDY FOR THE
GAME.

Providing the diamond is not too
muddy for a game tomorrow the Fargo
college and A. G. baseball teams will
class at the Fargo college field.
1t was hoped for some time that the
two mines would be able to meet today.
However, the rain put a damper on the
expectations Of the fans and the game
had to be called off.
The Fargo college diamond has ex-
cellent facilities for being well drained
and with half a chance from old Sol,
the grounds will be in such shape that
the game can be played. 1t will be
called at 4 o'clock.
Should there be no game tomorrow
between the two teams it is probable
that they will agree upon some sort
of schedule for a series Of two games,
one to be played on the diamond Of
each school.

THE OLD GRAND ARMY MAN.

He sits, gray and ruined shrine
Beneath the old green arbor vine
A fond reviewer Of the line,
Too old to lead the van;
Two little children, shy and sweet
Fan out while marching down the street
To lay their garlands at his feet
The old Grand Army Man.
With swinging stride and wistful eve
To throb Of drum and bugles cry
The old platoons sweeping by
mournfu caravan;
The ruins of Chickamaugas fight
And Gsttysburg's appalling height,
Heroic comrades of his might,
The old Grand Army Man.
with this one of the broken stride
He charged at Shiloh. side by side
To live and win where thousands died
And thousands lost and ran;
And yonder, youngest cannoneer
wounded Sherman volunteer,
He bore him through the flooded fear,
The old Grand Army Man.
And thus as each new rank appears
He marks his mates of former years
To smile upon them through his tears
That gentler ran;
While they, whose work is nearly done,
Whose race, like his, is nearly rum
Uncover to him in the sun,
The old Grand Army Man.
For he has known the Drawer days,
The lowlier deeps, the loftier ways
Has worn the cypress and the bays
OF some diviner plan;
He has been shaken by the throes
OF cruel compassion for his foes
The ensaved and the enslaver's woes,
The old Grand Army Man.
But now with pomp and bugle blast
The loud procession tramples past;
To leave him musing at the last
On life's diminished span;
ON all its multitudnous ties
That bloom in bliss or sacrifice
Waving him back their sweet good -byes
The old Grand Army Man.
Slowly the saddened splendor drains
At sunset DER the somber plains,
And wanly the Memorial wanes
That gloriously began;
But still the arbor branches shed
Sweet odors round lone gray head
The peaceful, the victorious dead
The old Grand Army Man.
