STEWART'S QUINTET
PEADY FOR FUNSTON

even, although Funston has the ad
vantage of experience.
The gross receipts from the game
are to be donated whole to the ath
letic fund at Camp Funston. The
i funds will be used to enable Uncle
Sam's boys to support their athletic
teams, and provide the proper equip
ment. If there were no other reason
for attending the game, this should be
a good enough one to pack the audi
torium. It is expected that there will
be a large delegation of townspeople
present, besides the students from the
University and other colleges of the
town. The affair is to be more than a
mere University affair It is for such
a worthy cause that the entire city is
interested in it, and will provide a
large delegation.

Cannon to right of them, cannon to
left of them,
Cannon in front .of them, volley'd
and thunder'd.
Stormed at with shot and shell, boldly
they rode and well
Into the Jaws of death, into the
mouth of hell.
Rode the six hundred.
Flashed all their sabres bare, flashed
as they turned in air,
Saboring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while all the world
wondered.
Plunged in the battery smoke, right
through the line they broke,
Cossack and Russian reeled from their
sabre stroke,
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not the
six hundred.
Cannon to right of them, cannon to
left of them,
Cannon behind them, volley'd and
thundered.
Stormed at with shot and shell, while
horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well, came
from the Jaws of death,
Back from the mouth of hell, all that
was left of them.
Left of six hundred.
When shall their victory fade? O, the
wild charge they made,
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made. Honour
the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.
