Burton Holmes, the lecturer on trav-
ell, Is at present In Oberammergau, at
tending the performance Of the reli-
gious drama. entitled 1.-THE School Of
the Cross" which Is being presented
for the first time publicly this season.
The Passion play, for which Ober-
ammergau has been noted for many
generations, has been given regularly,
with a few exceptions, on the even
decades, but it is now the purpose of
the people Of Oberammergau to give
1.-The School Of the Cross" every ten
years, halfway between the perform
ances Of the Passion play.
The play dramat1zes the life Of King
David, who will be the central figure
In the piece. while parallel episodes In
the life Of Christ are interviewer as
tableaux. In other words, the present
play is just the reverse of the Passion
play in that Old Testament scenes
are reproduced in dramatic form. while
the New Testament are given exclu-
sively as tableaux.
Oberammergau, with it's present dra-
matte production and with remjnis-
cences Of the Passion play, will form
the subject for one Of Mr. Holmes
travelogues to be given in the United
States next fall.

Altar of Roses.

Once upon time there lived in Persia a
beautiful princess named Nour Djihan, who
was betrothed to a handsome prince named
Djihanguyr. Walking with him one day in
the lovely gardens of her fathers palace.
she noticed that yellowish oily drops fioated
on the rose water that eddied in the state
ly fountain basins. Calling her attendants.
the princess ordered them to collect the
globules with feathers. This was done, and
10 and behold! it was found that the drops
gave forth glorious odor. The world was
from this time enriched with a new and
delicious scent, and 1t was called the Altar
observation-disclosures
Such Is the Persian legend to account Tor
the discovery of altar of roses. But alas!
for the truth thereof. 1t must be said that
despite the story. the famous perfume was
known to the world long years before the
birth of the prince and princess with the
tongue entangling names. In the whole
realm OF flowers there Is no flower or
greater age than the rose. Way back IN
fhe Bible times 1t was mentioned as

in the world except Australia produces its

blossoms throw forth their welcome fra

near his home.
one day, as he was out hunting with HIS
faithful serving men. he came upon a clear
calm lake in the heart of the forest. AT

the youth. sat down upon the bank to adj

Go away, my good men," said he. land

agreed. but smiled among themselves at
the boys foolishness. At night they came
back TO look for him, but, alas, he was no.

est and they peered into the lake but no
sign OF Narcissus. Just then a beautiful
flower. pure white. with bright, golden hair.
sprang up before their eyes, on the very
spot where they had left Narcissus.

THE ADVENTURES OF JERRY.
BY JOSHUA F. CROMWELL.

1t was Saturday morning, May 20. 1906
a very good time for adventure. Jerry
arose promptly at six and one-ninth
o'clock; he calmly put a navy blue stock

the other foot, washed 3 per cent OF his
face looked out of the window seventeen
times, broke a shoe string, lost three but

Then he slammed his door, fell down.
stairs swallowed some breakfast, coaxed
fifteen cents from his mother and was off.
His plan was to get on the car that would
take him farthest for one fare. have adven-
lures all day, spending nickle for lunch of
some kind and reserve the remaining five
cents for the return trip.
1t was beautiful plan. but the adven-
lures would not wait; they began as soon
as he got on the car, which was crowded.
He was sooner on the platform than a
lot of big fellows jumped on. jamming him
against the rear rail. A big brass-bound.
hoarse-voiced automobile crossed behind.
just as the car gave a tremendous lurch
forward. Jerry was jerked over into the

The child looked longingly at the dog 9

course Hector must have his bones" he
sighed, but If could have the picture I'd
do without the bread and butter. Besides"
he added, Il like ginger snaps better

The COLLIER head nestled on the artists
shoulder, and small arm stole about his
neck. "Will you let Hector and me come
to your studio and see the picture when
ever we like?''
you and Hector must come to my stu
do very often" said the artist, but I am
going to give the picture away"
''Ohi" faltered Ray, and his eyes blinked
very hard, so afraid was he that he was
going to cry and not bear his disappoint-
ment like daddy's little man.
The artist Rugged him close. and whis-
pered: II am going to give the picture to
Hector-for his birthday.

The machine gave a spring. They were

Chatter. clatter rattle. rattle, rattle! Trees
and houses rushed by; sand and stones

ears; the sand flew in his eyes. He was
dizzy: he wanted to cry: he forgot to steer;
he forgot to toot-shut his eyes and thought
of home; wondered IL he should ever see
his fan-tail pigeons again-and mother
mother! That magic word braced him up.
II must do something he said. So he
footed the horn.
Straight ahead, where the road curved.
was big barn, with front and back doors

or three miserable little lumpy heaps. AS
the farmer hurried up he saw on the top
of the plumpest of the lumpy heaps TWO
little girls with yellow curls and sky-blue
Skye terrier: on another heap sat a pale
and frightened little boy.

bile was sitting In the pig-sty. with pig

the right thing. No one was hurt, not
even the pig; he was stunned bit. but he
came around all right when the sky-bIue
Skye terrier barked at him. Mr.. Piggy
looked quite solemn and dignifled sitting up
in the automobile, with the terriers pink
ribbon on his ear.
Even Jerry laughed. Farmer Jones was
just going to ask some questions when an
other automobile came into the yard. and
the little girls with yellow curls jumped up
and cried Papa! Papa
Then Jerry was pleased to find that the
man he had knocked out was not hurt
either. and that he had followed as soon as
he could get another machine.
Farmer Jones treated them Eli to milk,
and Mrs. Jones brought out some ginger
snaps and cheese. Jerry got a ride back
home to his very door and an invitation to
ride some other day. He returned the If
teen cents to his mother, having had very
long ride, lunch and plenty of adventure
all free.
At night, when taking Off his shoes. he
discovered that one foot was seal brown
while the other was navy blue.
''Gee!" said Jerry. that accounts for
everything!"
