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.

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." Vender Sells Without Talk. lie can sell a puppy without saying more than three words, this curb trader In live stock, who Is a famlllnr figure on Fifth avenue by day and on Broadway by night, says the New York Sun. Alone of all the street venders of New York he does not believe In the ballyhoo. Ho never calls out to tho crowd to attract their attention nor does ho trouble, when people stop to look at the puppies he holds In his hands and carries in his pockets, to say anything In their favor as pets. Complete silence Is his usual selling method. If piled for Information about a pup py he will tell three things, In the few est possible words. "He's clean, he's house-broken, he's three months." Then, If asked, he will tell tho price. He sells without selling talk. Happiness Recipe.

Tho first death amoHg tho Pilgrims after their nrrlval on tho coast of America was that of Mrs. William Bradford, wife of William Bradford, who hiter was governo of tho Ply mouth colony.

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 these decorations wero.- military.

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.

Japanese Honor Christians. 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. A Congenial Role. "What I llko about this actor Is his ability to sink his Identity In the part." , "He's playing a hard drinker."

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. howo-ver, after 'w'b'lch be. shamefacedly confessed that everytlilng""wris all ita'ht ; ftbat hoil been nnfpo), and mmv fully .refrained' f r6m ca'stiug' "ntW' bfditie' )0y?3,,Uiey were happy. again; It had been, UiOj merest nonsense to wander' f rpin. thp 'ideal state etc 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.

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.
