FLOWER BANDITS

When the Maytime flowers bloom,
Carpeting the field and hill.
Bend above their sweet perfume,
Touch thu petals II you will;
But leave them on the field and hill.
Now that violets are here,
Hiding in the messy dell.
Be glad that beauty is so near
And love their dainty fragrance we'll;
But leave them in the messy dell.
When the summer daisies come,
Whitening the rolling field,
While the bees above them hum.
Enjoy the beauty that they yield:
But leave them in the rolling field.

Who spoil the beauty of the wood,
And come in laden from a hike
With blooms whose life is gone for

THE GREAT SHOW

In the little village Of oberammer-
gau, nestled in the highlands of Ba-
varia, they are getting ready to give
the Passion Play again. A number
OF performances win be given on
Sundays between May and septem-
Der.
The famous play was to have been
given I'm 1920 but was put of because
Of the unfriendly feeling toward Ger
many which kept travellers from
coming into the country. Only once
before have they failed to give the
play on the date set for It. That
was in 1870. when France and Ger
many were, at war.
Although every one has heard OF
the giving OF the Passion Play" the
reason for II is not so well known.
In 1888 there was great plague rag
ing over Europe, killing off people as
though they were flies. Whole towns
would be wiped out by the terrible
disease. The plague was carried into
this little Bavarian village. When
they realized that it was in their
midst, the people gathered in the
church and made a vow that If the
plague ceased they would perform
every ten years play illustrating the
life and death OF Christ. The plague
touched them lightly, and they kept
their vow.
The people of oberammergau are
just simple peasants They put on
their play as religious ceremony
and are unspoiied by the fame they
have attracted and the fact that Wis
itors flock from all over the world to
see the performance. They work and
dress and think very much as their
ancestors did hundreds of years ago.

side world.
