GAS You Like IT, the play written
to be given out of doors, the play
about sermons in stones and books in
the running brooks, will be presented
Thursday, May %. on the college
campus. The story of Rosallnd ana
Orlando is the most popular OF all
Shakespeare's tales. It's presented by
Marlowe and Sothern, by Ben Greet
by stock companies, by college clubs
and prep school dramatics. Young
sters in the grade schools know how
Orlando penned verses to Rosal1nd on
the trees, and how the melancholy
Jacques murmured "All the worlds
enough to hear E. H. Sothern say it.
It's one of the plays that can't be seen
too often.
A large audience is expected at the
amphitheater back of Boswell hall;
extra seats will be prepared for them.
The stage will be a raised platform
covered with grass and leaves and
lighted by electricity. There Will be a
seating capacity for 1000. The cast
follows: Rosalind, Miss Carrie Nc
Knight; Orlando, Howard Searle;
Jacques. Frank Peers; Celia, Miss
Grace Gaines; Touchstone, Ray En-
field; baniShed duke, Carl Hathaway;
Frederick, Warren Humphreys; Ami
ems. Willard Troxall; oliver, Donald

Phoebe, Mildred Gephart; Audrey,
Ada Dykes; pages, Vera Croft and
Julia Ames; Hymen, Kathryn AL
baugh; dancers in Masque of Hymen,
Louise Small, Verna Worley, Helen
Stevenson, Genevieve Wise.
This is the third season the Wash
burn Dramatic club has presented an
out of door production ga Midsum-
mer Nights Dream was first given,
followed last spring by the successful
Nv staged Twelfth Night
"As You Like 1t" is full of humor
as we'll as charm; Touchstone, the
faithful clown; Silvius, the love-lorn
shepherd; Phoebe, the blatant CO.
quette, and the rustic Audrey have
been well cast. A repeat performance
will be given during commencement
week for the benefit of out of town
visitors.
Miss Pearl LeCompte is coaching
the play. Warren Crumbine is man
aging it. Mr.. Crumbine will be able
to recall six successful plays given
during his senior years under his own
management-two performances OF
"As You Like It." 1.-THE New Lady
hancock" 1.-The Importance of BEING
Earnest "The Man From India" and
katherine of Owlscot."

New York Stock Market.

Wall ST., New York, May 17.-STOCKS--
Few orders were on hand when the stock
market opened today and trading was
exceptionally dull. Prices of the active
stocks in most cases showed slight re-
cessions from yesterdays close. There
was renewed pressure against some of
the lower priced railway shares. st. Louis
and San Francisco second preferred re-
coded to IS, new low record. ROCK
Island preferred lost IA.
Selling of the dividend-paying shares
stopped when the realizing sales had been
disposed of. With this weight OF the
market, prices rallied n a point or more,
although the Rock Island and st: Louis
and san Francisco issues continued to go
down.
The market closed heavy. Trading op-
erations were confined within a narrow
range and movements of the active issues
were without feature during the halt DAY
session. The general market was not az
fected by a further break in the ROCK
island and ST. Louis and San Francisco
securities for which no authoritative eH-
PLANTATION was offered.

belonging to about 800 pupils of the
school, AS his Investigations progressed
he found that no bank book or evidence
of indebtedness was issued to the pupils
whose money the bank was handling
No Care for Money.
Here he wa in a school costing the
government about $175,000 a year to
teach the young men and women the
rudiments of an education, manual
training, farming, mechanics, ETC., but
utterly overlooking and ignoring the
very important business of teaching
them how to care for their money after
they have learned to earn it.
In the first place no one should leave
money with a financial institution or
agency without a receipt for it. MI
Benton took the position that the stu
dents should keep track of their finan-
cial relations with the school, Should
be encouraged to figure interest agreed
upon with the bank on daily balances,
and should be taught how to do TINS,
so that when they get out into lie
they will have some practical -knoWl-
edge of the banking business: They
should, he earnestly believes be encour-
aged to reconcile their bank accounts,
and should be taught to keep track OF
their bank balances, and have an in
tellectual idea of the relation OF bank
to its customers as well as the duties

do this than through the Indian agen-
| cies to which he refers.
The Indian Office is now installing
this banking system of Mr. BentOn's
| in the school referred to and shall en-
| deavor to have it adopted in all the
| Indian schools of the country, in which
it will directly or indirectly affect the
| $4,000 Indian pupils of the United
| States
| Mr.. Benton has always taken a very
great interest in the business education
of young men and has had experience
with a great many of them in banks
and business institutions in which he
! is interested. He knows the great
benefits to be derived in teaching them
the first principles of business from
practical experience. He is gratihed tc
know that his recommendation will
| be directly instrumental in giving sc
large a number of the young Indians
of this country attending government
schools some of the first principles OF
practical banking experience.

FOR Boys MORALS.
Social Suggestion Contributes to
Downfall Is Theory.

Boston, May 17.-Sociai suggestion
Is usually responsible when boys go
to the bad" in the opinion of Prof.
NJ ". O'Shea of Wisconsin university,
who addressed the national congress
of mothers and parent-teacher asso-
citation last night. Lessons on'the eff
fects of alcohol and tobacco and sex
education would not prevent the de-
Velopment of habits that waste the
energy of youth, he thought. Boys
need protection from suggestions
forced upon them.
TT is generally agreed that the
chief danger to the boy is that he will
give himself up to vice." Professor
O'Shea said. 1.-The impulses that lead
him to this direction are the strongest
in his being, and unfortunately he can
hardly turn around in a modern city
without having these impulses appeal
ed to. These suggestions come not
only in the situations presented in the
play, but in the dances and in all the
suggestions of the stage. The most
potent of all, in arousing the boys i'm
pulses is the positive appeal made to
him on the street by those who make
their living thereby"

time and place for the fall meeting.
Five papers were read at the after

portance of editorial conferences;
Marco Morrow of Topeka, on the sub
feet of the preparation and sale OF
advertising; A. A. Torrance of the
Lebo Star, on newspaper insurance;
Harrison Parkman of the Emporia
paper shops as fire risks, and Mrs.
Frank FARRELL of Topeka regarding

speech.
An elaborate banquet was beauti-
fully served in the evening, presided
over by H. c. Sticher of the Usage

manner in which thhese funds were be-
ing handled and to devise means for
improving the financial system and re-
dams. The reorganization of the bank
ing system, involving at the present
date nearly twenty millions of dollars,
has been accomplished, and the banks
designated as depositaries for this
money are all cooperating in the most
satisfactory manner. He installed a
very thorough and systematic banking
bureau, thereby keeping the Indian Of
flee informed at all times as to the
condition of depositary banks.
Both state and national banks are
now on the same footing before the In
terror department, and when they have
accumulated the required surplus and
have had a successful existence for the
required length of time, if their ffnan-
cial condition is sound, they are desig-
mated.
One of the most pleasant and salts
factory recommendations Supervisor
Benton was able to make and see ap-
proved by both the Indian Office and
the present secretary of the Interior
department is the installation of a
proper business relation between the
various superintendent of the Indian
schools and the pupils.
After a visit to one of the large
Indian schools, Mr.. Benton found that
there was in the neighborhood of $780,

SOMETHING NEW IN CUSHIONS |
Well Not to Pile Them Up in Too
Much Profusion, but Some Are
Indispensable.

The fad for having divans piled up
with cushions. of promiscuous hues is
fortunately out Of vogue, but an occa-
sional cushion in the more formal
drawing room, when it is really beau
tiful and artistic, is still possession
to be priced and is indeed a thing of
beauty, and makes most acceptable
gift. Such cushion. instead of being
conspicuous and startling. should rath-
er tone in with the general color
scheme of the room, and none are
more splendid than those made from
harmonious pieces of tapestry which
can now be gotten in such exquisite
colors and designs.
To buy them made up ready for use,
is rather an impossibility for those of
moderate means, but they are within
the reach of almost every woman
who is handy with her needle, and
possesses the necessary patience Odd
ends of tapestry, or small remnants
can be picked up very cheaply, and to
make their beauty more pronounced
as though the tapestry is woven by
hand, outline the flowers or conven-
tional designs or the pattern of which
1t is composed with furnished boul-
lion braid in gold, which is round
rather than fat, and couch this OH
with gold thread.
To make the pillow the new oblong
shape, add a strip of velvet to each
end of the tapestry, and this velvet
should match or tone in with the pre-
dominating shade in the tapestry
Where the velvet and tapestry meet
may be finished with furnished gold
lace, and the same sort of cord in
gold is used around the cushion when
it is complete. The back of the cush-
ion is made of the plain velvet.
