Merchant of Venice up-to-date.

A number OF our students gave an
entertaining little drama called "Mer-
chant of Venice up-to-date" at the
court house last Friday evening for
the benefit of the Athletic Club. The
weather was stormy and disagreeable
but good audience assembled and
the young people all proved themsel-
yes embryo stars. The cast of char
acterS was as follows:
Bassanio, sutton to Portia- -...... .Chas. Watts
Gratiano, his friend .. .--....... Marian Jones
Antonio, Captain H. s. football team =. 49,
.....---------- .......... Miles Gardner.
shylock, a wealthy gambler Frank McFadden
Ioftla, rlcn nelIesS- E1nel MoIC
Nerissa, her friend .....--------; theresa smith
Polly, the maid Blanche Arnold
Jes sca, Shylock's Ward-..... Lena Pound
Launcelot Gobbo-clOwn------ George Horning
Tubai, Capt Carroll Team. ....... Louis Bagley
Miss Abbie Threedice, teacher Annetta Earhart
Professor, an X-ray photographer Roy Hunt
Football players.
The costuming was excellent and the
scenes were well arranged. Nobody
forgot" and nobody failed. Frank
McFadden as Shylock was generally
conceded to be the star of the evening
surprising his friends by his ready
adoption to the part. George Horn
ing was fearfully and wonderfully
gotten up and Roy Hunt looked the
genius" to startling degree.
One of the "up-to-date" features was
the continual primping before the
glass of the leading ladies before
company entered. Curtis Earhart
was manager. The mandolin club
furnished music while the scenes were
being shifted. Mrs. Cosson gave
synopsis of the genuine Merchant of
Venice at the opening and to her
efforts and those of Miss Miles and
Miss Burns in drilling the fine success
was largely due.
We have never thought these
efforts lost on the participants. They
take some time from school work, but
they add much to the analysis of char
acter, the appreciation of fine litera-
ture and effective speaking. Besides
this its some fun for the children and
same fun for those who look on. The
receipts were about $4,000.

REASONS FOR HEAD HUNTING.
Token of Valor to Decapitate a Man.
Dyaks Of Borneo.
From Chambers Journal.

FROM chambers Journal.
The principal reasons for which heads are
taken may be summed up in few words.
First, as sign of valor and token of man.
hood, and, second as a ready method OF
keeping the score in a blood feud. Some
Of my readers may be surprised that / stop
short at two reasons, for It is q common
belief in England that the wild Dyak Of
Borneo is in the habit of prowling around
with a large knife like tho lion of scrip-
ture, seeking whom lie may deyour," and
also that he collects heads in much the same
way as his white brother collects postage
stamps or butterflies. This, however is far
from being the case, and the native of the
far interior is IN reality q very mild savage,
whose principal vice is the habit of becom-
ing extremely intoxicated on fermented
drink which he makes from far too large
portion of his rice crop.
We will briefly analyze the first of the
two reasons given above for which the
young buck sallies forth on head hunt,
Undoubtedly in days gone by the posses
sion of a head implied that the owner, or
rather the new owner, had successfully met
and conquered an enemy. The young brave
staggered home with his newly acquired
trophy, feeling that he had at last donned
the toga virilis, and was entitled TO marry
a wife and join in the councils or the men.
Festivities were held. large quantities of
tapia (rice wine) were consumed, ana the
hero of the hour, having taken possession
of a room in the married" portion Of the
long house that shelters the whole OF q
Dyak village, and found damsel to share
1t, would proceed to hang up the head as
proudly as his English brother hangs up his
first sporting trophy.
Times have deteriorated since these good
old days, and to find the reason il fault

whose husband had three heads hanging
before his room would sheer at the woman
whose spouse could boast but two. and the
latter was probably nagged at and badgered

so by slow degrees the first question asked
by prospective father-in-law of sutton

could not boast his two or three. Well
knowing this, the ardent lover would take
good care to provide himself with the neces-
sary number. AS time went on successive

way the heads were procured. till at the
present day a head is merely a head no

their way through all obstacles and past
all enemies till they leap over and over, In
joy, as they strike the seattle ancient salt
sea.
And here in the aquarium OF far-away
New York the little salmon went mad and
died TIL they, too, felt the strong touch
of the ocean.
And till we may solve this mystery must
we not confess that know nothing OF
nature, except only her small superficial
wonders?
