Sementha at Saratoga in a New Dress
One of the funniest of all the funny
books is certainly "Samantha at Saratoga."
Will Carleton pronounces it "delicious
humor" and Bishop Newman says it is
"bitterest satire, coated with the sweetest
exhilarating fun." Formerly published
by subscription at the price of $2.50,
and sold, it is said, by the hundred thousand,
it has recently been issued in an exquisite
little cloth-bound volume in the "Cambridge Classics" series by the celebrated cheap-book publishers, Hurst & Co., of New York, as a means of widely advertising that series, and is sold at the fabulously low价 of 25 cents. It would seem strange if they should not sell a million of them. They are sold by booksellers, or the publishers direct.

House-Good Performance.
A packed house witnessed the performance of the senior play Wednesday night, the name of which was finally changed just before the bills were out for it from "Bricks Without Straw" to "The Professor's Love Story."
Senior Play "One Great Big Roast" - Good
Home - Good Performance
The play corresponded completely with the advertisement of it. It was announced that the play would be entirely local. It was; quite noticeably so, some thought It was announced that high and low would be roasted. They were. If any fobible common to students or faculty or peculiar to friend or foe of the Seniors was left untouched, no one can call to mind the omission. It seez as though everything silly and ludicrous had been seized upon and held up to derision. Never before has a Senior play quite so personal been given. To a few, of course, this made the play a little objectional. To the great majority it made it more interesting.
TRUE TO ITS ADVERTISEMENT.
The roasts for the play consisted of a series of them thrown together ingeniously and aptly, serving to give the play continuity and effect.
The principal criticism upon it is the endeavor to caricature too many people. A good caricature requires sufficient similarity of form and feature between caricaturer and caricatured to enable the former with some slight make up and with proper imitation of the latter's voice and manner to so represent the latter that the audience may at a glance know the original. Many of the make-ups were of this description, but where there was an attempt to burlesque so many it is not surprising that for some no double could be found, and the play would have been stronger with those parts omitted. Miss McGregor as Vivian Van Dyke had the leading part and played it well, displaying more real dramatic talent than any other member of the cast.
Miss Gephart's, Miss Rustlemuch was capital. Her makeup and characterization left no one in doubt as to the original. Hilliard Johnson looked and acted the chancellor, while "Sal" Walker as Sam Usher brought down the house. Perhaps the best makeup of all was Canavan's as Prof. Jones.
The Baccalaureate Sermon.
The Rev. William T. College of Amora Illinois delivered the baccalaureate sermon to the usual crowded auditorium in University hall, Sunday night.
When Rev. M. Colliegd was introduced he announced his text as from Ephesians V, 16 "Redeeming the time because the days are evil" and he declared at the outset that to gain superiority, mental moral and physical training were necessary. Each individual has an ideal which they strive to reach in their life. The end of education is ideas. Life must be ordered with care, and the opportunities that offer themselves to everyone must be taken. It is the same in achieving success in life that it is in securing success in business "The price must be paid." The best things in culture and education must be earned. Who you are or where you are is of secondary importance. The first thing to be done in determining a career, is to count the cost and decide whether or not it shall be paid. It lies in the province of everyone to choose that which costs him but little. But the places and things desired do not come by chance. The world is a vast mart where time, energy and talent are barted and success depends upon the use of these. Everyone must go into this mart and trade. There are few people who have five talents, and few who have one talent, but the great majority have two talents. One of the indispensable things to success is the application of strictly Christian principles to every business. The value placed on manhood and womanhood is one of the tests of human progress. Full rounded manhood, and womanhood is not the result of a few years training, but comes from a high ideal and long years of severe trial and training. The first thing young people should do is to learn to think for themselves on all questions and all issues; not to dream nor harbor a thought that is unbecoming, mean or base. This responsibility should not shirked, but there should be no superficial thinking. Half of the misery in the world comes from superficial thinking. The faculties should be trained to think profoundly. But there must be action as well as thought. Never trust to chance to make a successful career; success comes from years of persevering toil. The man who labors—in whatever way—is the hero of industry.
And another thought: Do not pass a brother man who may have fallen; feel for him, encourage him, sympathize with him. Never let social rank separate you from those who walk in humber lines. The rich and wise pass through life but once. Each individual should have such pure and worthy natures that they may climb the peaks of
life to success, and that at the end the spirit may return victor by the power of Christ like aspirations.
LUCK WITH NEBRASKA.
Luck was with the University of Nebraska on Decoration day and gave her the victory over the 'Varsity in the annual base ball game. Particular interest was felt in this game as the two teams had played a thirteen inning tie game here early in the spring.
'Varsity Defeated At Lincoln by Eight to Kane
The team did not expect to go to Lincoln till late Saturday morning. There had been a bitch in the arrangements with the Nebraskans and Manager Snyder had considered the game as good as declared off. Instead it was intended to play ball with Baker, but Baker at the last minute refused to come and Nebraska at the last moment wired Snyder to bring his team there.
The game at Lincoln was exciting from first to last. Nebraska won by bunching her hits. Our boys hit the ball hard but were unfortunate. Two home runs and a three bagger were made by the Varsity but all when the bases were empty. On the other hand, with the bases full our boys couldn't get the ball past the infield.

EXCEEDINGLY PRC$FFR CUS YEAI
This has been an exceedingly prosperous year for the University" said Chancellor Snow to a WEEKLY reporter. "The faculty have proved loyal in spite of the cut in salaries, and several have refused positions in other institutions at greatly increased salaries. The fire proved a Godsend. As its result we will throw open next fall to students new and thoroughly equipped engineering shops which will answer the University's needs for years to come."
"Yes. The advance in the past eight years is remarkable. There are no longer any complaints from the students in regard to their work. They are fully satisfied with the courses offered and with their arrangements.
So Save Charcellor Snow.
"Is it not true that the University is getting on a broader basis every year?" was asked.
The elective character of the course has been gradually extended until now with the exception of a few required branches in the freshman and sophomore years the student is allowed the utmost freedom in his choice of work. This year the graduate school has been opened, and with the a rangement made for the increased requirements for admission and the altered course of study the University will find itself in the front ranks of American colleges."
The seniors have devoted all their time this week to stormy class meetings.

A SCHOLARLY EFFORT
PHI BETA KAPPA ADDRESS DELIVERED LAST NIGHT.
Prof. Arthur Graves Cantald Give a Very Scholarly Address in University Hall Last Evening on the Occasion of the Third Annual Phi Beta Kappa Address - He Said in Effect.
in Effect.
the traditions of the Phi Beta Kappa society have been more or less definitely connected with literature. It has made literature one of its great interests, believing with Sir Philip Sidney that it is a 'fruitful knowledge.' The question of the tone of our literature and the writer's responsibility should have a practical interest. Our literature is not to be understood in any narrow sense, as belonging to any single state or even to our nation. We must claim the whole literature of our language if we are not to invite narcissism and intellectual poverty. The subject was not suggested by an alarmist view of the present tone of literature. Many have seen indications of a general low moral tone in the number of novels treating the question of marriage with great frankness and in a radical spirit. But it is rather the diversity of the current literary product than the prominence of any single quality that is striking. If it has any pervasive tone we are too near its complexity to discover it. Certain general qualities we expect works to have to ally them to their age. A writer's freedom is curtailed by the general moral and intellectual atmosphere that is imposed on him by his time. This age especially is an age of transition. There has been an almost unexamined re-adjustment of ideas about man and the world. Literature reflects this in its restless spirit and its moral hesitations and uncertainties as well as in its ardor for reform. Within the general movement of ideas room is left for every variety of tone. Even the literary doctrine that is the product of the movement, realism, shows in English literature no unity of tone. The writer's moral quality is not then determined by the sum of general conditions, and his responsibility is left intact. The calculation of the public taste and of popular success exercises a pressure, but does not lessen his responsibility; it only makes it more acute. A writer by being of his time is not forced to cater to its vicious tastes and instincts. When he crosses the line that separates these two he must be held strictly to account. His responsibility must be greater than that of ordinary persons for their private speech because of the authority and influence that his calling enjoys from its close or remote connection with literature. If the press ever loses its influence it will be the writer's fault.
Last of the Organ Recitals.
On Wednesday afternoon occurred the last of the series of organ recitals and was fully as good if not better than any one preceding. Prof. Penny was assisted by Mrs Sol Marks, soprano solist. Mrs Marks was very well received, receiving a hearty encore to her first piece. She sang for her first number Aria, "Ah non creadea miiratti" and Rando "Ah, non guiree" by Vicenji Beltman. Her second number was also well received. Prof. Penny's bes piece was the old favorite overture to "Wm. Tell." This was finely played. The different instruments in the orchestra were surprisingly well imitated, especially the clarinet, flute and French horns.
