The first Passion Play of which there is any record was in the fourth century, A. D., among the Greeks, &ud was called "Christos Paschon." All thra the mid­ dle ages different dramas of this nature were portrayed, chiefly by religious orders. During the Crusades many similar plays were given for the pur pose of stimulating the people to activ­ ity in the saving of the Holy City from the hands of the Saracens. In 1632 the peasants in the village of Oberammergau, in Bavaria, were vis­ ited by a terrible plague, which devas­ tated their coontry. On its cessation the entire population made a vow to perform the Paesion Play of our Saviour every tenth year, out of gratitude, and as a means of religions instruction a vow which has ever since been faithfully and regularly observed. The inhabi­ tants of this secluded village have a rare union of artistic ability and culti­ vation, with perfect simplicity. Their familiarity with religious subjects is even beyond what is usual in the Alpine parts of Germany, and the spectacle is looked on with the same feelings with whinh it. nriirinatjul What nrnnlfj »n- pear elsewhere as impious is, to these peasants, devout and edifying, The impersonator of Christ considers his part act of worship. He and all the rest w§o are to participate in the enact- me at#e selefcffed-for their holy life, and are consecrated to their work with prayer and fasting. In fact, it is the ambition of every child in the village to act a part in this great event of their life, and in order to do so they must show by their daily life that they are worthy of such an honor. Every village girl has an ambition to portray the part of M&ry, ths Mother of Christ. They believe that in order to attain this they must not. even in thought, do anything contrary to the virtuous and pure character required for the part of the Mother of our Savior. Not to be considered fit to take part, however small, in this grand play is, in Oberammergau, considered to be a great disgrace. To take a part away from an aetor is a shame that can hardly be borne, and it is on record that once a man to whom this happened sank into such a melancholy condition that he finally became mad. When properly equipped and present­ ed there is not an attraction before the world today in the way of an entertain­ ment, so impressive, so pleasing, so soul- stirring and heart-reaching, and so up» lifting in the future morality of some individuals as is this wonderful creation in moving picture form. That it is do­ ing the world great good no oh'e can leuy. How delightfully grand must the opportunity seem to be able to wit­ ness these clear, beautiful life motion pictures passing by before us, unfolding n the most convincing and pleasing manner these scenes and incidents in >.he Christ life heretofore pictured in words only, and not understood by all. You have but to ask someone who has witnessed the play and it is confidently assumed that you surely will be advised jy them to go and see it yourself. The management does not claim this 'X> be the only attraction of its kind be­ fore the public. To make such an as­ sertion would be untrue. We do say, aowever, that never before, since these icenes were presented to the world in this manner, has there ever been wit­ nessed in tljis city so complete and im­ pressive a reproduction of the original Oberammergau play as this one. In presenting to the people of the world this version, it is the intention to give to them as near an exact reproduc­ tion of the original play (the Oberam­ mergau play) as possible. In producing this masterpiece the highest point is reached in the art of life-motion photog­ raphy. Those who see it will be inter ested and instructed, aside from its artistic qualities. It can be asserted conscientiously that there is nothing in this grand perform­ ance that will be sacriligious or irrev­ erent, or any picture presented offensive to any Christian of any denomination. Every man, woman and child will not only enjoy it, but will be held spell­ bound at the sight of the fascinating and Btibliine life-size moving pictures. Every parent and Hunday school teacher should take advantage of this opportunity to vividly impress upon the children these scenes in Christ's life impressions that can never be effaced while the lamp of this life holds ont to burn. In no other way, short of a personal visit to the village of Oberammergau, in Bavaria, at the time of this stupen­ dous enactment, can so lasting a real­ ization of the crucifixion of Christ be made. It fixes the mind upon its great subject--the Christ. Clearly and dis­ tinctly does it unfold the scenes and in­ cidents of His early life; portraying it so plainly, so beautifully, that the smallest child shall know and under­ stand this beautiful, simple story, At the Central opera house Friday and Saturday evenings, Sept. 30 and Oct 1.

Ma&jOblct ; JHE GREATEST E»HtBi;TjjRaU Im Om Si.wr, of Coauiy Was ii>« The McBenry county fair, held at Woodstock, 111., Sept. 6-9, 1910, is de­ clared to have been the greatest exhibi­ tion in the history of the county. Every department was well filled with ex­ hibits. The live stock department was especially large, and a surprise to many visitors from other counties and states. The display of hogs and sheep was far beyond expectations, a large ntunber of temporary pens haying to be con­ structed to accommodate them. The display was not only large, bat the quality of all classes of live 6tock and poultry was far at>ove the average usually shown at countv fairs. In light and heavy horses and ponies the ribbons were all placed by A. R. Ives of Dela- van, Wis., who gave excellent satisfac­ tion. The dairy cattle and hogs were judged by R. E. Roberts of Corliss, Wis. The awards on beef cattle and sheep were placed by Prof. W. C. Coffey of Urbana. III., while the merits of each specimen in the poultry classes were decided by Prank Heck of Chicago, who spoke in the highest terms of the qua! ity of the birds on exhibition All of these judges gave their ieasonb f<»r plat­ ing the awards, and exhibitors were ap parenHy well satisfied with the resnlta The displays in the agricultural build ing, woman's building and manufac­ tures buildiug attracted favorable com­ ment, and the display of school work was undoubtedly the best ever shown. The display of butter and milk was excellent, but not as large as it should have been. On account of the extent and importance of the dairy industry in this county, and the liberal prizes of­ fered, it would seem that this depart­ ment merits a much larger display. There were more than four hundred entries in live stook at the fair this year; and in all departments about one thou­ sand more entries than last year. The ball games and races were closely contested and afforded great amuse­ ment for the crowds of visitors. No pool-selling or book-making »s allowed on the races, the purpose being to test the speed and endurance of the horses The fair in this county is growing larger and better each year, and is a comprehensive showing of the agricul tural, industrial and live stock products of the county. It is the show window of its accomplishments. The mission of the McHenry county fair is, in a large measure, to encourage better agricul ture, horticulture, stock raising, house hold science and manufactures. It in­ duces men to think of the possibilities open to them, and urges them to put forth better efforts for intelligent farm­ ing, breeding, etc. It is the place for those who have learned the lesson well, to demonstrate results. The exhibitors at the fair this year numbered over two hundred. Only a few of these failed to win prizes. They are to be congratulated on the extent and quality of exhibits shown, and a cordial invitation is extended them to come again. A Man of Iron Nerve.

She writes: "Our little boy contracted a severe bronchial trouble and as the doctor's medicine did not cure him, I gave him Foley 's Honey and Tar in which 1 have great faith. It cured the cough as well as the choking and gagging spells, and he got well in a short time. Foley's Honey and THI has many times saved us much trouble aud we are never withont it in the house.
