LOOKED ON AS PIOUS DUTY
Passion Play It Given In Redemption
of a Vow Made Nearly Three
Centurlei Ago.
The "Passion Play" (1. e., tho most
famous representation of Christ's
"passion" or agony In the garden and
suffering on the cross) Is producod
about every ten years by the Inhabi
tants of Oberammorgiui, n village In
Bavaria, Germany, situated G-J miles
to tho southwest of Munich. Their
reason for giving It Is to fulllll a vow
' made nearly 300 years ago (In 1033),
conditional upon tho cessation of the
plngup which was raging nt that tlmo
and which bad desolated tho country
around. The usual employment of tho
villagers Is carving crucifixes, linages
of saints ntid rosaries, and making
toys. Thousands ;6f visitors In the
parft hnvfs tlrtelafcr' to'sdo .Oberahimcr

through "'(Mused5 resuMlng 'from tho
Wdrld war, the PasBloh'p1ny, which
Hould have been given in 1020, la
being produced this year Instead. The
Brltannlca says regarding it: "The
original text and arrangements were
probably made by the monks of Ettal,
monastery a little higher up the
valley; but they were carefully re
modoled by the parish priest at the
beginning of the (Nineteenth) cen
tury, when the Oberammergau play
obtained exemption from the general
suppression of such performances by
the Bavarian government. The music
was composed by Rochus Dedler,
schoolmaster of the parish In 1814.
The performances tnke place on tho
Sundays of summer, In a large open
air theater holding 0,000 persons, and
each lusts about nine hours, with a
short Intermission nt noon. Each sceno
from the history of Christ Is prefaced
by a tableau of typical Import from the
Old Testament. About 700 actors are
required, all belonging to the village.
The proceeds of the performances nro
devoted to tho good ot the criminu
nlty, after defrayal of the costs and
payment of n small remuneration to
the actors. The villagers regard tho
Passion play as a solemn act of re
ligious worship, and the performances
are characterized by the greatest
reverence. The principal parts are
usually hereditary In certain families,
and are assigned with regard to moral
diameter iw well as dramatic ability.
It Is considered a disgrace not to bo
allowed to take pnrt In the play, and
the part of Christ Is looked upon as
one of the greatest of earthly honors."

Public Opinion as to the Desirability
of the Facial Appendage Changes
Without Seeming Reason,
The prophets of fashion In Englund
announce" that beards are to be worn
once more. . rpoii what signs and
tokens the prediction Is founded docs
not appear. It Is hardly to be con
tended that the beard has become a
more common object, or that In social
intercourse a new Interest In beards
Is to be observed, but olio must not
discredit prophets. What the Impulse
Is which Inspires one century with a
desire for beards Is as much a mystery
as that craving for the razor which
marks another. No man knows why
beards grew again In Victorian Eng
land after two hundred years of shav
ing. It Is easy to say that King Ed
ward Vll set the fashion, but that
only puts the dllllculty In another
manner. Wo cannot tell why tho
prince of Wales of (Jiioon Victoria's
reign .should have chosen to wear
what m I-lug 'on) worn since Charles
I. But the changes of fashion have
been many, even In England, observes
Henri I'lckurd In the Cincinnati En
quirer. According to tho Bayeaux
tapestry, Edward the Confessor hud a
heard, but not Harold. Tho Normuns
who came to England with the Con
queror were clean-shaven, but It waB a
new fashion In Normandy. Though a
vehement prelate called benrded men
"filthy goats and bristly Saracens,"
there was for four hundred years vp
S dominant fashion in England. Myj;
foches, beards, and Jjhoven faces wexf
I to be fou,qd. Henry V made. $&
g the rule until beards came Ip agalp
with Henry VIII. But, lest any man
is alarmed by that precedent, It must
bo said that tho first defender of tho
fnlth was only following n .European
fashion sanctioned by Pope Julius II
and the Emperor Charles V.
The Elizabethans were bearded, and
very elaborately, for they cut their
beards to all manner of shnpes, per
fumed them, dyed them, starched
them, powdered them. Under the first
Stuarts the beard became a chin tuft.
By' the beginning of the Eighteenth
century every man was clean sbnyed.
At the end of it mustaches und-wiilsk-ers
were coming In again.. At first

clean. In the yean 1840 George Fred
erick Muntz. -who, to be sure, was a
desperate radical, brought a "hugo
black beard" Into the house of com
mons, where such n thing had not
been seen for two centuries, and timid
folk expected the Immediate end of all
things. Tho prince consort let hair
grow on his face, and whiskers became
longer and longer; hut even In 1857
people thought It desperately hold of
Livingstone to "brave the prejudices
of his countrymen" wearing a mus
tache, and within the last 10 years
a bishop was blamed for wearing n
beard. Who knows what the next
turn of fashion may be? Until the
war It seemed that the clean-shaven
face was likely to become the rule
once more. The war's crop of mus
taches Mill nourishes and anything
may happen neM even a new Dun

Japan In recent years has given
more and moro public recognition to
Christianity. At tho coronation of tho
present emperor several Christians
were Included In the list of Japanese
who received honors, some of them,
like Rev. Dr. Motoda, headmaster of
St. Paul's college, Tokyo, and Miss
Ume Tsudn, principal of a school for
girls, being so prominent as Christian
workers that their selection Implied an
approval of their work. Never beforo
had Christians been so honored by the
throne.

Myron and Beth had been married
about eight months when their matri
monial troubles Hr.st came to my no- '
tlce. Then, suddenly, and for more
than three months, I neither saw nor ;
hoard from them. . ,
It was duWi ;,' tho Interim, however,
that they formed the habit of coming 1
to me Willi tlieir comphiluls. '
The young collide were ex-pupils of
mine, so I Knew something of their 1
characteristics, chief among which was
on inordinate yet naive pride 11 mro
combination among adolescents.
First, It would be Myron, In this
wise: "Beth Is growing cold toward mo
and Is altogether too free with other
men. I remonstrated, but .she said I'd
best mind my own business. Now,
say, muHt'n fellow look on In silence
when ho knows his wife's conduct de
serves a reprimand?"
Orlt would be Beth, nfter this fash
Ion : ".Myron Is needlessly Jealous and
cruel. I won't stand for his arroganco
and dictation."
In vain I observed that It was too
Into to quarrel over what could not
be undone; Hint both parties to so sa
cred a pact owed each other much In
the way of toleration and saciillce.
But, aside from seeing my hest coun
sels disregarded, I soon realized I'd
got Into an awful mess for listening to
them. They were proud, these two,
very proud; but they had yet to learn
that pride lins Its penalties; that one
pays n mighty toll for those pungent
little thrusts which temporarily as
suage anger or fancied Injury.
Vords, angry words, what would not
one give to recall hasty taunts when
bitter regrets come to cmphnslzo the
folly of It nil I One might have Judged,
from their hot verbiage tliat"both Were'
supremely Indifferent ns to the out
come, the Inference being that If they
never met again It would be soon
enough. But I was not deceived by
this haughty show of Independence. I
knew It to be mere artlllclnl props to
sustain their amour propre. So when
they ceased accusing each other I hap
pily concluded that the young couple
were cooing as of yore.
One day I met Myron, or rather I
balled him, for he had clearly Intended
to' avoid me. For a moment he blushed
and evaded my gaze, and I nojlced
nervous, little, twitches, about his
inpuih, I managed, to reasSuro ,lilii.

been, UiOj merest nonsense to wander'

v"But '"who how?" I pressed him.
Well, ho was a nice chap, and' would I
come to see him?
Yes, I certainly would. Having ex
hausted my resourcefulness In striving
to make peace, only to meet with re-'
pea ted failures, I was curious to know,
who hud been so successful In the role
of peacemaker1, both the person and
lx charm were worth adding to one's
collection of friends and accomplish
ments. "I think he'll bo with us tonight,"
said Myron. "In fact, I know ho will.
Better come; you'll like hlra." And
with that be literally ran from me.
After all, I rellected, It was n man's
Job, that of reconciling disputants for
Myron had said "he" would be there.
I must here beg the indulgence of my
friends; the obscure tentiier must not
be Judged too harshly If she appear
unduly alert when she scents a possi
ble romance. . . .
That night I called on them, and
found them both smiling, like children
refreshed from sloe;-, And I was sur
prised but not diseased to observe
that Beth showed 1 ot the slightest slim
of remorse for h'r parf In the late
Mjuabblo. I !mi feared my coming
would embarrass her. But no; she was
prouder than eer. ,
hnvo seen her becomingly so, erect
and haughty; but when 1 explained my
mission she became superb, queenly,
as she -.llently led the way to her bed
room and pointed to a cot in which lay
the tiny but Influential citizen whose
mere coming had done more for thu
cause of peace than all the learned
statesmen Genoa will probably ever
ree. No wonder Beth was proud !
Disappointed spinster though I nm,
I am a good looser, and cheerfully say
more power to tho little man!
Free Advice.
"Have you ever had any experience
In running stationary engines?"
"No, sir," said the applicant for a
Job. "But I've watched other men run
them until I believe I could do It my
self." "Umphl You remind mo of tho
crowd that gathers around a motor;

gets comes from peoplo who've never
owned a car." Birmingham Age-Her-aid.
Sound Waves.
Sounds cun generally bo heard much
farther by night than by day; some
times ten or even twenty times as far.
Ono reason Is that tho air nt night
contains, as a rule, few eddies and
other local disturbances, such ns break
up tho sound waves by slay. More
over, on calm, clenr nights tho ver
tical distribution of temperature near

NEVER KNEW FEAR
"Dad" Ross Typical Gun Fighter
of the Old West.
First Acquired Fame as Coach Guard
in 1B67, and Added to It Later
by Routing Train Robbers.
Aaron Y. Boss, "Dad" Boss, "Hold-the-Kort"
Aaron. IP woh variously
called, and he wus-famlllnrly known

surrounded by-all of ibis children.
:-Bdrn (n 1820, he fought Indians and
repulsed' the attacks of robbers on his
bullion car, In true 1022 movie man
ner, only, In his case, It was the real
thing, as the old man who passed
away quietly at ninety-three lived and
moved aud had his being In some of
the roughest spots .of a rough West.
An Issue of the Wells-Fargo publi
cation contains a brief sketch of the
career of this old guard of the early
stage-coach and pioneer railroad days.
In 1850 ho. went In a sailing vessel
to California. Later In the same year
he was looking for gold in Sutter
creek, nnd ho followed mining as an
occupation- In California, Oregon and
Idaho until 1807, when he beenme
stage driver and guard for the Wells
Fargo organization.
He was on his route between Fort
Benton nnd Sun river In 1S07 when
23 Indians swooped down upon his
coach. Boss defended the treasuro
and lives under his care with shotgun
nnd pistol. After a running bnttlo of
several miles, tho Indians withdrew
less live of their number, who were
dead.
At another time an outlaw nnmed
Baker, with his gang, rode up to tho
coach at Silver Star, along tho Stink
ing Water ltlver route, and command
ed Boss to throw up his bauds. Boss
answered with cold lead and the out
law and his companion retired,
severely wounded. Aaron Ums nlso
had another encounter with a bandit.
this time accounting for Jack Davis.
In killing this well known hlghwny
man, Boss saved the driver of his
coach. This was on an overland
j-tage route through Xevada.
In lSS:i "IIold-tho-Fort" Aaron left
San Francisco as guard of an express
car containing $80,000 In gold bullion.
At 7 o'clock in tho morning nt Mon
tcllo, Nov., tho train wns attacked by
a band of robbers who uncoupled the
other cars nnd ordered the engineer
to pull the express car up tho track.
Boss busied himself fortifying tho
doors of his car with boxes, trunks
nnd packages. Finally commanded by
Hayes, the leader of tho gang, to sur
render, under threap of being burned
Jqut of the car If M, didn't, he said
,&A'd see the gang fa !'a hotter place"
than they would mojee by burning tho
car before he'd surrender. At tho
ctjd of a five-hour battle the old guard
was still In possession of tho car and
the treasure, although tho former was
almost reduced to kindling wood by
the rain of bullets. One robber was
dead and three wero wounded. Tho
gang retired, tho train was connected
up and continued to Ogden. Tho four
remaining robbers wero captured
south of Croat Salt Lake and wero.
returned to Novnda and given sen
tences 'ranging from 20 to 40 years.
One thousand dollars lu gold was
given to Boss, who also received a
$030 watch, specially mndo, nnd en
graved with his naino and n brief rec
ord of bis, deed, tho nward In recogni
tion of his bravery being neconipanlod
by 11 letter of praise from the general
superintendent of tho Wells Fargo organization.
