"a BOY WANTED"

Charles E. Blaney's blk extrava-
ganza success, "a Boy Wanted" which
comes to the Opera House tomorrow
evening, is one of the largest and
strongest farce comedies on the road
today, in addition to being one of the
largest financial successes of the past
season, and 1t goes without saying, that
the capacity of the house will be tested
on their appearance. The company is
made up Of artists of ability who, dur
ing the play, introduce their various
specialties, with a host of pretty girls,
clever comedians, talented, vocalists,
expert dancers, and high class vaude-
Vile artists. The plot of "A Boy
Boy Wanted" is a successful scheme to
entertain an audience in the best pos
sible manner and is a continuous laugh
from start to finish. 1t is witty and
Jokes and songs are all new and free
from vulgarity, and with the Blaney
trademark on "a Boy Wanted" is guar
anteed a success.

The term Of the present board Of
management OF the Wyoming Student
has expired and in a very short time
the new board will take its place. In
every undertaking the board of man.
ayers has acted with discretion and
scarcely a voice but accords 1t due
praise. II the new board acts in the
same manner nothing more can be re-
quired. The different classes at recent
meetings elected the following students
to serve on the incoming board:
Seniors-Miss Lee, Mr.. Beach.
Junions-Miss Cheney, Mr.. Paulson.
Sophomores-Mr. Rigdon, Mr.. Bart
lett.
Freshman-Miss Cronin, Mr.. Don
aid Campbell.
Preparatory-Mr. Harry Lee, Mr..
Sheldon.
AT a mas meeting Of the students,
held Tuesday after assembly. it was
decided to lengthen the term Of the
members of the board of management
from six months to n year, the rea-
son given for such a change being that
a person can arrange his work better
for the whole year than for a part.
The elections will now take place the
fifth OF June.

During assembly Tuesday afternoon,
Mr.. Charles Beach delivered an inter-
esting Grafton on the subject, "An I'm
divided Nation" Mr.. Beach spoke
feelingly of the breach between the
north and south caused by the civil
war, and of different feelings and
standings which had arisen between
the two parts Of u country. Time
softened but did not heal the breach.
Some common interest was needed to
do this. Such an interest was the late
war, when once forever, all angry feel
ings vanished and north and south, to-
gether, fought off the common foe. A
nation must be undivided to accom-
plish great results. Such a nation IRIS
has become and it is firmly hoped that
it will always remain so.

What the Church Carpet Cost.

price was $500, but as the women Of
the church raised the money by Civ.
Ing entertainments the pastors estl.
mate was that when all the items Of
cost were figured in the carpet had cost
fully $4,000. He reached this aston
ishing total by estimating the work,
worry, ervou strain, bodily weari-
ness and heartaches OF 100 women,
the heroic efforts of men, women and
children to eat the things which were
to be eaten and hear, see or buy things
which had been provided to extract
money from them; the colds, fevers
and other ailments contracted while
attending the entertainments and the
consequent doctors bills; the money
spent in other churches, for II they
