ROBERSON
C A M E
BACK
In your dreams, have you ever been
transported across the seas to a fairy
land of loveliness? Doesn’t it seem
to give you a sense of peacefulness
and a broader, more intelligent view
of the world? We who saw the Pas
sion Play last night seemed to ex
perience such a transformation. At I
least, we all felt we were experienc
ing the sweet joys of a delightful
dream. We went to the Methodist
church and took a seat (that is, some
did—the first thousand early ones—the
rest of us stood up, some went away I
unable to get in;) but Mr. Roberson
didn’t want us to stay in Canon City—
so he took us for a trip to Ober-Am
mor-Gau. It was dandy, it was more
—it was delightful; it was magnifi
cent. You cannot imagine any trip
that would appear more real, more
true, more realistic. The pictures of
Bavarian scenery shown have never
been surpassed.
Mr. Roberson was our guide. He
showed us the ship that we left Ajner-'
ica on, he showed us our companions,
both when we left America and when .
we arrived on the other side. Then
he furnished us with an automobile
so that we wouldn’t have to bother
with the dust and disagreeableness of
a railroad trip. Our “luggage” was
thrown Into the auto, too. We were
glad that Mr. Roberson was so con
siderate of us for we traveled over
roads that were as level as a floor
and that were marvels of road build
ing; we saw scenes of indescriable
grandeur that we could never have
enjoyed from a “carriage” on the
train.
Only too soon, for we had been so
thrilled with the beautiful sights
along the way, we rounded a curve in
the road and looked down upon the
peaceful little city of Obcr-Ammer-
Gau. It did not take us long to get
into the town and then Mr. Roberson
busied himself making us acquainted.
First he told us the literal meaning
of Ober-Ammer-Gau; Ober meaning
over: Amnier, the name of the river
that runs through the town; Gau. des-;
ignating the name of the province or
district in which the town is situated.
He showed us the different streets
and the various public buildings W?
saw the hotels but we didn't stop. We
went to a private home where we
stayed for the Pa« .lon Play. Evoty I
where the religious sentiment of this
Roman Catholic people was apparent.
The exterior of nearly every home
was decorated wit.i mural paintings
of bibical lore These homes were
not small huts eithe, - . they were
and rooniv and appeared like man
sions Judging from the magnificent
homes, we think It wouldn't be .so bad
to be a Bavarian peasant.
We were introduced to the various
persons who assumed tin* different
roles in the Passion Play.. We met
St. John. St. Peter. Judar, Mary and
numerous others. We were told that
there \\4■ r** GB2 in the play, "*f. of
whom were women and 53 of whom
had speaking parts. We were in
formed that no moving picture had
ever been taken of the play. The his
tory of the origination of the play
was given us. At one time the peas
ants of the little valley were afflicted
with a plague. To get rid of It they
gathered together m the hills above
the city and vowed that if God would
relieve them of their trouble they
would react his passion and death
every ten years. The plague disap
peared the next day and In 1833 they’
gave the Passion Play. Every ten'
years, for the last 800 years they
have repeated the performance.
We saw the Passion Play. And no
more magnificent, ennobling tragedy
has ever been staged It Is wonder
ful and we of prosaic minds can hard
ly conceive how it could all be staged
so beautifully and acted so splendid
ljr. From the prologue to the ascen
sion we were held entailed with the
art and grandeur of it all.
It is safe to say that Mr. Roberson '
has "come back” with far better trav
elogues than he had last year and
that by his version of the Passion
Play has gained many new admirers.
The receipts for admissions and sea
son tickets up to Monday night were
about equal to the total receipts for
the whole week Mr. Roberson was
here last year.
About 800 people saw the perform-j
anoe last night
AMONG OUR YOUNG FOLKS
Colorado boys and girls have many
more opportunities of seeing and
studying wild animals than our i
young readers back East.
We have many boys and girls back
!in Kansas Missouri, Illinois and oth
: er sttaes who never saw a wild ani-
I inal bigger than a rat or cotton-tail,
i We want our boys and girls to tell
j them about the wild animals in this
j country.
Write me a letter telling about all
| the wild animals you have seen dead
or alive. Have you ever seen a moun
tain lion or a deer? Are there any
live deer in this county now? Did
you ever see a wild cat, a badger or
a porcupine? Tell me about them.
Many little folks in Canon City
have never seen these wild animals
which are very common in some
neighborhoods.
Have you made any money recent- ,
ly? Tell us how. Its a good thing for i
the little folks over the country to ;
exchange ideas about money making.
That’s the way big folks do and it,
helps them to make more money.
I want you to write me a personal j
letter, tell me about your money- .
making, about the wild animals or
about your town an l schools.

Makes Money Raising Turkeys and
Rabbits.

Dear Uncle Dan:
e*4f T 2 ogpa shrdlu cmfwyp fwyp
In the summer I earn my money
by raising turkeys and rabbits. I
pick some apples for my friends.
Last summer I raised nineteen tur
keys and sold fourteen, and got twen
ty-seven dollars for them. We ate
two and gave my aunt one for Crhist
mas. I kept two to raise more next
summer. I had two old hens and I
kept them both. I bought a gobbler
this last fall and I expect to raise
about one hundred turkeys next year
I have fifteen rabbits now and I
will have some to sell in a few days.
I have fine luck with rabbits none of
ray old ones have died.
We have a fine big chicken and tur
key yard. The coyotes caught some
turkeys for me before we built it but
none since.
Your loving nephew.

NEW FIRE WHISTLE
INSTALLED TODAY
The new fire whistle, recently or
dered by the city council was instni)
ed at the plant of the Colorado Light
& Power company yesterday. It is
the largest of Its kind over seen here
and will wake the community from
Its most profound slumbers when
turned loose on the midnight air
It weighs ten times ns much as the
old one, and. If the predictions of Its
friends are realized, it will be pos
sible to hear It as far away as Flor
ence. It will require one hundred
and sixty pounds of steam to blow
It, whereas the old whistle was eas
ily operated with sixty pounds of
steam. Such an Instrument of tor
ture turned loose at nig’ is likely
to arous*- the soundest sleeper.

Dogs Are Afraid of Crippled Coyotes.
I Cotopoxi, Colo,
Feb. 3, 1911.
Dear Uncle Dan:—
I will write to tell you what I know
about the coyote.
It is about the size of a dog. I do
not know whether a dog could kill
one or not. They kill chickens; and
papa shot one through the hips and
the coyote couldn’t walk. The dogs
got after him and tried to kill him.
The coyote would catch them by the
throat and any place he could. The
dogs would just stand and whine and
he got our old by the tongue. She
began to whine. Papa had to smash
the coyote over the head to make it
let loose.
From your loving niece.
