THE PASSION PLAYS" EARNINGS
Oberammergau People Learned the
Money Value of Their Production.

lone would expect that religiously
imbued community, giving a play
because of religious vow, would seek
to make the entrance price as small as
possible, in order that all might come
and learn" writes Ida Sharper Hoxie,
of The Passion Play This Year, in the
Ladies' Home Journal. But the
people of Oberammergau, having
learned the value of their pro-
duction, seem nothing 10th to combine
religion with business. They charge,
therefore, as much as the regular Ger
man theatres-the prices this year
varying from fifty cents to two dollars
and fifty cents. The expenses incurred
by the village in preparing for this
years presentation exceed seventy-five
thousand dollars. Yet the people hope
to realize something for themselves
from their work. One-third of what
remains after the expenses are paid
will be devoted to building a vault and
chapel in the village burial place. The
remaining two-thirds will be divided
among the players, among whom there
will be at least one representative from
each home in the village. The dress
rehearsal occurred on May 20. The
dates for this years performances are:
May "a, q; June 4, 10, Is, II, "a, 29;
July 1, 8, 10, IS. %, 20; August 8, 8, II,
10, 10, %, 26; September 2, 8, 9, 16, 20, 80.
Those familiar with the Roman
Catholic calendar will notice that, with
four exceptions, the performances are
given on Sunday and church holy days,
thus keeping to the original religious
character of the play"

THE NEW MILKMAN.

Miss Stanton was sitting beside her
chaperone, waiting for her next partner
to come and claim her for the dance,
when Ned Harmonson approached with
a new man in town.
Mrs. Gordon, allow me to present
my friend Guy Thurston," said he.
Miss Stanton, Mr.. Thurston."
After the usual exchange of polite
speeches, Ned vanished, and Guy begg-
ed Miss Stanton for the honor of the
waltz. The music began, couples were
whirling on the floor, and the man
whose initials were on Miss Stantons
card had not appeared.
Some one is neglecting me- she
said, exhibiting full card. "But I
cannot make out who it is. Can your
Not l." answered Mr. Thurston.
The writing is illegibIe. Do give me
| the dance"
Thus besought, Miss Stanton yielded,
and she and Mr.. Thurston had a
charming waltz together. 1t was the
only one of the evening, though, for
Miss Stanton was engaged extras and
all, and no other man neglected or for
got her. Even young Kenneth Ryder,
the culprit, whose dance had fallen to
Guy, would scarcely have been so
remiss had he not been in a corner of
the conservatory on his knees before
the girl whom he hoped to marry.
Il like Mr.. Thurston," said Louise
Stanton to Ned Harmonson, later in
the evening. She had known Ned all
her life, and he took her to supper.
He isserious, but he waltzes divinely. -
He is a fine fellow" answered Ned.
Bring him to see me-" commanded
Louise.

Pasadena with the mater tomorrow
But you will meet Thurston every

chap"
But why haven't met him before?"
asked Louise.

last dozen years, studying. You were
little girl in short frocks when he
went away"
But Louise did not see Thurston
again for over two months, and then
they met under extraordinary con-
ditions. She and her father lived in a
largo nat. of which Louise was mis-
tress, for her mother was dead. II was

was answering both door bells. back

and Louise admitted the miIkman.

Angling BY Electricity.

Angling Is said to be mental rather
than physical recreation were it not
for the fact that fishing grounds are
usually some distance from ones home.
and that the true angler who gets up
at dawn, tramps to his favorite spot,
rows some miles upon the water, and
struggles valiantly with a combative
bass, tiger-llke muskellunge and game
little trout, gets full amount of ply
steal recreation as well. The trout
season in New England and eastern
waters has opened; brook trout are Bit
ing in the streams of northern WIscon-
sin and bass are plentiful in the lakes
of Michigan, Indiana and Illinois
Angling is a sport to be encouraged,
and it is one that appeals to a boy 5
heart. What, for instance, could be
more attractive to boys who have
learned to take care of themselves, or
smaller boys in the care of their elders,
than to penetrate the forests of the
northwest, and with Indian guides to
visit the myriad lakes alive with game
fish, to cook their meals at camp fires,
sleep in tents and study nature in her
widest moods and aspects? 1t Is a
sport that stirs ones blood, stimulates
the mental faculties, breeds manliness.
inspires love of nature and leaves the
rudy glow of health on the cheeks.
Angling has been called a lazy mans
sport probably because of the quiet and
patience displayed by the angler when
the fish do not bite or because some
people make it an excuse for the habit
of lying asleep on the banks of a little
stream where fish are as scarce as hens
teeth. But it is not lazy sport at
good trout streams or lakes alive with
bass and muskellunge.
While the true angler may be
soothed and delighted by the music of
birds and insects, the rustic of the
leaves, the whisper of the reeds and
the thousand and one harmonious
sounds that make up Natures grand
chorus, there is no sweeter single sound

TO A SKYLARK.

Hall 10 Lnee, DllIne Spirit!
Bird thou never vert,
That from heaven, or near it,
Pourest thy full heart
In profuse strains of unprecedented
art.
Higher and still higher,
From the earth thou springest
Like cloud or fire;
The blue deep thou wingest,
And singing still dost soar, and soar
ing, singest.
All the earth and air
With thy voice is loud,
AS when night is bare,
From one lonely cloud
The moon rains out her beams, and
heaven is overlooked
What thou art we know not;
What is most like thee?
From rainbow clouds there flow not
Drops so bright to see,
AS from thy presence showers a rain
of melody.
Like poet hidden
In the light of thought,
Singing hymns unbidden,
Till the world is wrought
To sympathy with hopes and fears it
needed not.
Sound of vernal showers,
On the twinkling grass,
Rain-awakened flowers
All that ever was
Joyous and clear and fresh, thy music
surpass.
Teach us, spirit or bird.
What sweet thoughts are thine;
| have never heard
Praise of love or wine
That painted forth a flood of rapture
so divine.
Chorus hymeneal,
Or triumphant chant,
Matched with thine would be all
But an empty vault
A thing wherein we feel there is some
hidden want.
What objects are the fountains
or the happy strain?
What fields of waves or mountains?
What shapes of sky or plain?
What love of thine own kind? What
ignorance or pain?
With thy clear, keen, joyance
Languor cannot be:
Shadow of annoyance
Never came near thee:
Thou lowest, but meier knew loves sad
safety.
Waking or asleep,
Thou of death must deem
Things more true and deep
Than we mortals dream
Or how could thy notes flow in such
crystal stream?
We look before and after.
And pine for what is not;
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell
OF saddest thought.
Yet II we could scorn
Hate and pride and fear;
II we were things born
Not to shed tear,
know not how thy Joy we ever
should come near.
Better than all measures
or delightful sound,
Better than all treasures
That In book are found.
