of being the most thoroughly

limited natural resources what
younger nations will soon be COM

conserves them.
When our wood supplies, stored
up from 100 to 500 years; are with
in sight of their end; and sawnilIS
that have been moved from the
white pine belt of the north to the
yellow pine belt of the south have
been moved to the Pacific Coast
for their last stand, then Germa-
ny's scientific forestry policy
will receive better recognition.
We do not think of moving a
grist mill about from one field to
another, as the fields in. turn be-
come exhausted. After one crop is
harvested another is coming. on.
So it must be with the sawmil and
the crop of trees. If it takes, fifty

PARIS. KENTUCKY. FRIDAY. JUNE 5 1909
Sale Bigger Than Reported.

A special from Lexington to Wednes-
days dailies says:
1t was learned Tuesday from 6. A.
Brooks, secretary OF the Kentucky
Barley Tobacco Society, VINO was in
this city, that the sale OF pooled tobacco
concluded Monday was even greater
than at first announced. Mr.. Brooks
says that the quantity sold was 1000
600 pounds, or 1900 hogsheads, instead
OF 400, 600 pounds as reported here.
The sale comprises ali of the pooled to-
bacco of the 1906 crop of the grades
rated at IA cents and under. The por-
ton OF the 1906 crop remaining in the
pool is graded at from l6 TO 80 cents.
OF the entire 1906 crop, aggregating
$1,000 hogsheads, $4,000 hogsheads
have been sold. The high-grade tobac-
co which now remains is expected to
sell quickly, an the 1907 crop will then
be placed on the market. Mr.. Brooks
stated that he does not know positively
that the American Tobacco Company
purchased the 4, 600 hogsheads just soid.-
as 1t was bought through an Eastern
broker who was in Winchester Friday
and Saturday. The weed has been paid
for. There is thought to be little
doubt that the American Tobacco Com
Dany was the real purchaser"

THE REAL PASSION PLAY
Mr.. Henry Ellsworth, a Wealthy American Who Visits
O~bsammers.1 Every, Year, Bring: Word From Anton
Shown in America Are Not Authentic.

| in Paris in March, 1907, by an ambi-
tious photographer, who set his own
stage and hired his own actors, as
moving picture concerns do in their
other work.
Herr Lang, through Mr.. Ellsworth.
has authorized the American press to
say that no photographs except those
made by Mr.. Ellsworth. on this page,
have yer been made at Oberammer-
gau. This authorization bears the
signature of Herr Lang.
Mr.. Ellsworth, who has spent a part
of each year since 1889 at Oberam-
mergau, said:

such pictures dare not declare them

it was not true. SO we'll are the tradi-

The next performance of the Pas
sion Play will be given in 1910. About
every ten years since 1884 there has
been a performance. The regular
performances are on Sundays II
church holidays. In 1896 there were
twenty-seyen performances scheduled,
but because of the attendance twenty
extra performances were given.

the religious atmosphere IN the valley

the religious atmosphere in the valley
Of the Ammer becomes dense. 1T is
estimated that during the last century
not fewer than a thousand persons,
principally women, Wen insane as a
direct result of watching the Passion
Play. During each performance
women became hysterical and had to
be carried out in order to allow the
actors to proceed calmly.
Each performance is preceded by
mass at 6 o'clock in the morning:
after s o'clock in the morning no one
is admitted to the theater, visitors
arriving later being required to wait
until the midday intermission.
The present theater was built In
1889 at a cost of 100000. It's seating
capacity is 1000, eevry seat being
reserved. In 1890 the government
compelled some changes in the play,
but they yer of a minor character,
and did not detract any from the
dramatic quality of the production.
Anton Lang, who played the part of
Christ In 1900, was a stove %repairer
and potter, and was only twenty-five
years old. His predecessor was the
revered Joseph Meyer, a wood carver.
In 1900 Lang was ~perceptibly nervous
at his work on the stage and received
valuable coaching from Meyer, who
spoke the prologue.
Anna Flunger. who played the part
of the Virgin Mary, was only eighteen
years old. She was the daughter Of
the village postmaster, and consid-
cred the most beautiful girl in the
valley of the Ammer. Her family for
generations had taken part in the Pas
SIGN Play, her grandfather having
played the part of Chris in 1850, and
her aunt the part of Mary in 1880.
While she played her part acceptably
her face was generally said not to
bear the stamp of high spirituality
that belonged to Rosa Lang, who
played the part in 1890.
Sebastian Bauer, the plate of the
play. was captain of the village fire
brigade. Sebastian Lang, the Gaia
phas, was a sacristan. All of the act
resses and actors are selected not
alone for their appearance and his
trionic ability, but for their moral and
relieious character their ability TO
live again the lives of the actors in
the worlds greatest drama.

a pinch of salt on the tongue, fol

Cut flowers may be kept fresh by

Bad colds, hay fever and kindred af-

Weak and tired eyes are refreshed

use a wash of salt and water before

strengthens the organs Of the throat.

BEARDED LADIES ARE COMMON.
At Least a French Woman Offers to

foreign to the Passion Play through
all the years it has been given. The
last f~orty-seven performances at
Oberammergau brought in $247, 900,
the admittance fee ranging from fifty
cents to $3.50. From these forty
seven renditions, however, there was
no profit, as the income was all re
CURED in the legitimate expenditures
of the performances.
Oberammergau has a population of
1,400 and of these $50 take part in
the play. There is no element of
medieval mysticism in this wonder
full play, staged in the peaceful village
in the Upper Bavarian valley of the
Ammer. It originated from a vow
taken by the villagers when a plague
was raging, and in the beginning the
monks of Ettal are believed to have
written the play. 1t was in the be-
ginning of the last century hat the
play in substantially its present form
was written. The next performance
will be given on the third Sunday in
May, 1910, and performances will con
tinue until the last Sunday in Septem-
Der. Mr.. Ellsworth will return to
Oberammergau in a short tine.
Il hope to be able to pass the rest
of my life there" he said. Il love
the place because every one there is
honest. There is no guile and no de-
ception. When one meets a woman
in the street he knows she is pure,
and when you meet a man you know
you may trust him to the end of the
earth. 1t is an atmosphere that ex-
lists nowhere else so far as | know;
and is the only sort Of atmosphere in
which such a theatrical production
could be preserved in all the sanctity
and purity of motives suggested by
it's traditions"
1t is difficult, yes, impossible, for
even the religiously disposed in far
away America to appreciate the
~weirdness, the dramatic sublimity, the
tenseness of emotional tuning that
accompany the rendition of the Obsr-
ammergau Passion Play. In a com
mnnity deeply religious at all times
the devotional depths into which the
villagers plunge during the period pre-
ceding the rendition of the play are
profound. By the time the first per.
Torrance has been polished to the
highest possible state of perfection
