Rainfall of 2.15 Inches in "a Hours
During the rain which fell for "a
hours, beginning Saturday noon, 2.15
inches were precipitated in Minot, &C
cording to the report Of the govern
nient weather man, w. l. Ferris. The
rain undoubtedly did some good, al
though it came too late for some of
the crops. 1t is estimated that it ad-
ded two or three bushels per acre to
the late wheat, did great deal of
good to the oats and barley crops and
to the flax. Much of the wheat in
this territory is suffering from black
rust and the yield cut away down.
The rain was of great value to the pas
lures, late potatoes, and put the land
in fine condition for summer fallow-

SHAkESPEAREAN PAGEANT
AN ELABORATE PRODUCTION
Cast of 100 Characters Gave Festival
Upon Shore of Beautiful Lagoon
Novel Entertainment

The Shakespearean pageant present
ed at Lincoln park Friday evening
was one of the most successful and
elaborate productions ever staged by
local talent in this city. With cast
of fully 100 characters selected from
the membership of the Normal sum-
mer school, assisted by Minot friends
this beautiful pageant was presented
from a stage erected upon the shore of
the logan, the spectators occupying
seats placed on the tarace on the op-
posite side. The stage was trimreed
with fresh cut boughs, with lights so
arranged that the audience was in
semi-darkness, while the stage was
ablaze with light. The voices of the
actors could be distinctly heard across
the narrow sheet of water. A srlen-
did audience greeted the players, bnt
had Minot people surmised the treat
in store for them the seating capacity
would have proved far from adequate.
The stage setting, the costumes, and
every detail pertaining to the arrange
ments served to transport the audience
in spirit-back to Shakespearean
times, bringing wildly to their minds
the manners, customs and dress of the
period when the Bard of Avon lived.
Our limited space will not permit men
tioning the various characters and
scenes in detail of this splendid COM
memorative festival which celebrates
the tercentennary of the death Of
Shakespeare.
The patriotic finale, when Columbia,
Uncle Sam and the entire company
stood about Shakespeare, with the ma
tional colors raised above. and electric
bulbs forming the name of the Bard of
Avon in striking colors against the
night, made glorious finale to what
will be remembered as one of the most
worthwhile amateur affairs that has
been attempted in Minot.

should leave her and her children to
face the world alone: all those who
have seen their loved ones rescued
from the very brink Of the cold waters
know what gratitude is when Nthe soft
footed nurse comes to bring the glad
message. In that time they know what
boon to human kind well equipped
modern hospital is; they realize that
life and death hang on the prepare
ton that has been made, that only in o
complete hospital have surgeons their
full efficiency and patients their full
chance; that before the surgeon dis
plays his skill the patient and pain
stalking labor of trained nurses does
all that science can do to Danish in
lection and that after the skilled ope-
rator has done his best the vigils of
the trained attendant sentinel the
citadel Of life. Those who have sweat
in such Gethsemanes know gratitude.
But individuals like republics are I'M
grateful. They are prone to forget.
If those who have been the beneficiar-
les of such service never forget, no
hospital in the world would ever find
itself embarrassed financially. "Skin
for skim" said the devil to Job. "all
that man hath will he give for his

memory to sleep. sordidness refuses to
remember. But can any forget? Is
1T possible to forget an obligation that
includes existence?

"Watch Your STEP" Good Dancing
Show, at the Odeon.


A small and somewhat unresponsive
the Odeon Friday evening, and was re-
warded by a really good dancing anc
singing show. full of swingy tunes and
featuring two extraordinary good
dancers. Watch Your Step" is the
show i'll which Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon
Castle appeared in London. New York,
and Chicago, and consequently dancing
is played up thruout the perform
ance, and very good dancing it is, too.
Jack Coogan, whose 1.-THE and Timber
limbs graced the vaudeville boards up
to few years ago, offers the princi-
pal feature in eccentric dancing. He
resembles Vernon Castle somewhat IN
looks. and his dancing is certainly 70
be commended as tirstc lass. His schot-
tische with Miss Newton was extreme
~ pretty and graceful.
Closely dividing tn hVnOrs with Mr..
Coogan was Barrett Greenwood, who
executed several fancy dances which
were equally as pleasing as Mr.. Coo
CAMS eccentric steps. In addition Mr..
Greenwood possesses rather pleasing
voice and his two songs, Lets Settle
Down in a One Horse Town" and "A
Simple Melody" were easily the hits
Of the evening. In the former he was
assisted by Miss Paula Sherman, who
wore pretty clothes with ease ami
grace, and in the latter by Miss Belle
Rutland, whose portrayal of the simple
country maiden was natural and
genuine.
In addition to the dancing and sing
ing good comedy was introduced at in
tervals during the performance By
Harry Van Fassen, a black face mono
log artist, who appeared three times.
Mr.. Van FNassen's comedy is secured by
his own peculiar style of speech, in
which ne places the accent of ordinary
words on some other syllable. thereby
creating a comical effect. His work
pleased the audience immensely.
The costumes and scenery were law
ish and varied, and the members Of the
large chorus danced well, altho their
voices We're not strong. An excep-
tionally good ensemble scene was the
finale Of the second act. when various
scenes from different operas were in
troducad, with Vincent ]. Moore sing
ing the arias, while the chorus danced
prettily iona than keefe secured good
comedy out of the time-worn role Of
