Famous Passion Play Is
Enacted At Oberanimergau
PREPARATIONS FOR EVENT

w rTH the final performance of
va the 1910 Passion Play this
week, the little Bavarian VIII
lage Of Oberammergau goes TO sleep
for another decade. 1t will only come
into the public eye again in 1919 when
the first rumOrs OF the great religious
spectacle of 1920 begin to be heard and
the Passion Play committee meets and
elects from among the simple villagers
the ChristuS the Caiaphas, the st. John,
the Mary Magdalene, the thieves, the
prophets and all the other PRINCIPALS
who take part in the decennial celebra-
tion of the deliverance of the comnu-
nifty from a plague of the Middle Ages.
When the plans are formulated for
the Passion Play of 1920 there will be
many changes in the methods of man
agement, for the Oberammergauerites
have promised to profit by some of the
unfortunate experiences of the last five
months. 1t is probable that the con-
tracts with tourists agencies, who
controlled the booking arrangements
this year, Will be materially modified IN
1920, for great has been the dlsSatis-
faction, not only on the part OF yisi-
tors, but among the inhabitants them
selves, who feel aggrieved at the lack
OF cOmfortN with which the spectators
have had to contend.
Agencies Make Reservations.
This is the first season that the Ober-
ammergau villagers have allowed agen-
cieS to make reservations r<the Pas-
sion Play. Heretofore all negotiations
have been conducted with the vil1ag erS
direct, but this year the prospective
spectator was permitted to go to
tourist office in London, or to branches
in any of the great continental cities,
and ask that reservations be made.
The tourist office, upon receiving adj
vices from Oberammergau, supplied
the applicant with a slip giving the
name of the villager with whom he
was to find accommodat in the III
tie town nesting in a hollow among
the hills, on the banks of tic river
Ammer
Getting off the crowded train from
The city of Munich, the visitor, his slip
in hand, applied at ehe tourist office
at the railroad station. There he was
supplied with credentials to his ODER
ammergau host Turning to leave the
station he was accosted by one-only
one-of a large number of l9ng-hafred
boys who stood silently at the e&bow of
each visitor while he was talking with
the agent The boy heard the name of
the villager at whose house the stran-
ger was to stay, and as the latter turn
ed from the office the boy queried:
Herr -'s?" When the answer was
yes, the boy quietly offered to take
suitNcases and bags, and trudging slow
ly ahead through the main street,
crowded with people, conducted the
sightseer to his hosts home. There
one found spotlessly clean quarters

Oberammergau without rain Some
times it is d very gentle sho Eer and
on other occasions it comes down in

are subjected to all the discount orts
of a downpour in the open with 1T any
protection, for the theater is a vast au-
ditorium with only three walls. The
stage is in the open and the rain beats

Oberammergau there was no applause,
even after the most tragic and moving

and the sincerity of those who watched

" HE Little Girl was sad.
She was eight years old. and
there was going to Se picnic in

ed. and there was no picnic and the
Little Girl was stranger in the citv
and the only other little girls she knew
sent word that they couldn't come and
play with her because she had q sore
throat-and it rained-and the gray
leaves f1uttered down from the tall
trees and lay dank and drizzled in the
growing pool Of water. and the sky
was heavy with gray cloudskand the
dolls best dress was torn and Old Gro
napah. the dog, would not sit I'D or do
any OF his amusing tricks.
And it rained-
All at once there was a stir in the lit
tie room Some one was busying him
self at the fireplace-rustle, rustic,
crack, crack-a gay little flame began
TO dance upon the hearth.
oh said the Little Girl. what
smells so sweet?" She did not know
that the hickory logs were burning
their sweetest incense for her-the in
cense that smelled Of the great woods
and the dark forests and the tall, tall
trees. far out in the wide country.
Crack crack, sparkle, SPARKLE
cried the fire. "Oh." said the Little
Girl
How nice it is in the house when 1t
rains outdooFs-and some one set lit
tie table with a white cloth and put a
cake, iced in pink and trimmed with
paper pink roses, in the middle of the
table. and there were four chocolate
creams on a dish. and when you bit
into them they were pink inside, and
the baby came running down the stairs.

He stretched out his little hands to
the leaping flame. "Oh. sister" he cri-
ed, 'dey's dancing for US, dey's danciD'
for u.s." and he seized the Little Girls
hand and the two children danced
round and round in time to the crack
ling Of the flames, and the old dog sat
up and begged and then he stood on
his head and then he waltzed-and the
Little Girl cut the cake and gave some
of it TO the baby and some of It to the
old dog and she opened the window
and scattered some crumbs on the porch
outside.
Poor birds" she said, you don't
know how nice it can be IN the house
when it's raining outside"
And the Little Girls mother, whe had
been sad all day. took a deep breath
and sighed-and then she smiled
Yes she said, Little Girl let's have
it nice in the house even when it's rain
ing outside" And she put her hand out
and drew the Little Girl close to her
heart, and was not sad any more that
day.

TEXAS COMPANY CONVICTED.
Toyah (Texas) Advocate.

From Toyah (Texas) Advocate.
Securing the services of an expert,
the Toyah company, operating the oil
fields north 'of here, shot the noto-
rious capped well, using 24O quarts Of
nitro glycerine.
Those who witnessed the shooting
say the oil spurted 125 feet high and
flowed steadily for three minutes, but
II was capped before they got to it,
OIL was everywhere, the ground for Z
hundred yards north being saturated
with 1T. The officials of the company
were in a very jubilant frame of mind,
but there was nothing doing in the
talking line. They didn't have to talk,
however. There was the evidence be-
fore all, and many a poor duffer was
tried and hung on less evidence.
There can be no reasonable doubt but
that there is oil and plenty of it,
