why don't you go to the dentist
and have the tooth attended to-"
John Fisher held his hand to his
mouth and groaned.
That's just like a mani" exclaimed
John Fishers motherin.law. Rather
have the toothache than go to the den
tise
still John Fisher said nothing.
When one has a bad case OF toothache
even talk isn't cheap.
Pooh! don't make such a long face
about II. Besides. a toothache is all
in the mind"
John Fisher glared.
"Ail in the mind" reaffirmed the
lady, calmly and exasperatingly.
John Fisher arose to his feet.
Madam" he demanded. do you mean
TO stand there and tell me that this
raging toothache is all in my mindg
Il do"
"And that IL only imagined It
didn't hurt, 1t wouldn't hurt?"
Exactly"
This was adding contempt to insult,
and John Fisher said as much.
Now, now. keep your temper,
john" cautioned the lady. You
know very well that II you hadn't
any mind at all you couldn't be con
scious of having the toothache. So II
you will but withdraw your mind from
the pain. Il will be the same thing.
You will be unconscious Of IL"
John Fisher sat down In disgust.
''I'll tell you what will do" contin-
ued the resourceful mother-in-law. IF
you will go with me to the dentist and
have that tooth attended to will
have two of mine pulled and the
nerves killed in four others. | should
have had them attended to before
this"
John Fisher looked surprised. then
ashamed. Had his mother-in-law the
toothache?
And l won't take gas, either. I'll
depend wholly on the power OF mind
over matter"
John Fisher reached for his hat.
Very WELL" he said; its bargain. .

One Of the most interesting characters in the
play is Judas From the first il has been the
aim of the missionaries TO impress the natives
as strongly as possible with the real goodness
or badness of the various characters of the play
and to this end, in the case Of Judas, the men
who have played the role have been repeatedly
taken on a temporary reprieve. from the con-
yict settlement Judas has always been a bad man
in an actual as well as an artistic sense. and
il is recorded that no fewer than half 4 dozen
of him have endeayored TO steal the thirty pieces
of silver-in this case Mexican dollars, which
pass current in the island-wHh which he has
been bribed. OF late years the thoughtful mis-
sfonaries have removed this temptation by bind
ing the bargain with bagful OF broken crock

and has been directly under the care of the
missionaries since the time when, a child of
ten, she was cast up on the beach of one OF the
Paumotous with the wreckage of a Tahitian
trading schooner. She is said to be the daughter
of French cOunt-a fugitive from justice in

South American theatres have attained to con-
siderable publicity in other parts of the world
But the Passion Play of the French mission at
Hvaoa. the largest island of the Marquesas
group has never been witnessed by more than
g dozen nonresident white men, and as a consc-

have found their way to France through the
channels of the missionary society records
scarcely reaches beyond the coral reefs that

Tho Passion Play at Hivaoa has been pre-
seutcd every Easter for nearly fifty years and
serves admirably the purpose for which it is
designed. that of bringing home by tableaus to
the simple natives Il more graphic realization of
the great events surrounding the life and death
OF Christ than would be possible by mere words.
The tone of the play is dignifed and elevating
and the moral effect-temporarily, at least-up1n
the natives most excellent. TO any one not

Lurau is the greatest pearl diver and SHARK
fisher in all the Marquesas. There is little in
his disposition off the stage TO FL him FOR his
exalted role.
He owes the distinguished honor that has come
to him to his beard; ii is the only one borne by
a native in the Marquesas, and, as far as any
one knows. in all the South Pacific. With his
hair and beard neatly oiled and combed and
dressed in trailing white robe OF snowy mus
lin, Lurau makes a far more acceptable looking
Christus than one sees in many Of the South
American presentations Of the play. The only
jarrinS note in his makeup is d halo which is
apparently cut from piece OF shiny biscuit tin,
