Silent Men.

Men great in deeds are often taci-
turn. Does their taciturnity arise
from the difiidence which fears lest
words should exceed deeds, or from a
conviction iha. safety is promoted by
silence7 Washington's reserve made
him stiff, formal and i'll at ease in
company, but it also prevented his
plans from being betrayed TO IAN enc
my, and the country from being de.
ceived by his promises.
William the Silent was frugal of
words, because a reserve that con-
cealed his designs, even from those
acting with him, was necessary 10 the
independence of the Netherlands.
A writer in Leisure Hours says that
the most dramatic of silent men was
Wallenstein, the antagonist of Gusta-
vus Adolphus. and the commander oi
the emperor's armies in the thirty
years war. He insisted that the deep
est silence should reign around him
| His officers took care that no lout
conversation should disturb their gen
eral. They knew that chamberlain
had been hanged for waking hin
without orders, and that an officer VIII,
would wear olanking spurs in tn
commanders presence had been sc
cretly put TO death.
In the rooms of his palace tn
servants glided as if phantoms, and
dozen sentinels moved around hi
tent charged TO secure the silence tn
general demanded. Chains wet
| stretched across the streets in order !

-.sIer through Ine WASH oT JTID ages -

signature and divine name will be

NUNS go by, and the world shall see
that the God who made this continent
has redeemed it by his grace from all
its sorrows and from all its crimes.

unwheeled, and after all the war

of his peril will roll on in triumph,

mightiest of all agencies, the potency
of prayer, I beg you seek our national
welfare.
Some time ago there were a, 600, 600
letters in the dead letter postoffice at
Washington-letters that lost their
way-but not one prayer ever direct
ed to the heart of God miscarried.
The way is all clear for the ascent of
your suppEcations heavenward in be-
half of this nation. Before the postal
communication was SO easy, and long
ago, on a rock one hundred feet high,
on the coast of England, there was a
barrel fastened to a post, and in great
letters on the side of the rock, so il
could be seen far out at sea, were the
words "Post Office" and when ships
came by boat put out to take and
| fetch letters And SO sacred were those
deposits of affection in that barrel that
no lock was ever put upon that barrel,

The name Of Alexander Dallas Bache

ant of engineers, he became q pro-

Fisherman Bettison's Big Dite

J. Smith, proprietor of the Georgia
house, and l. s. Bettison, from Ash
land, Neb., were fishing at tho long
dock at Punta Gorda, when o fish got
on the line held by Mr.. Bettison that
fairly mado his hair stand on end.
When he felt him on the line, the
other men being some distance away,
he thought he would quietly draw his
game III and surprise the others, but
the harder he pulled tho more the fish
went tho other way. Finally he yelled
for help, and Smith says Bettison's
eyes were as big as saucers when he
came up. To mako the exciting story
short, they held to the fish until he
came to the top and then finished his
career with ball from Winchester
rifle. 1t was q monster "Jew" fish,
measuring feet 4 inches in length,
weighing 292 pounds, and is one OF
largest fish of the kind caught in the
bay for some time. Savannah News,

Easily ExplaincI.

That Is a queer story which The Ar
gus prints. 1t is told that man on
the Grand Trunk fell off car while
rounding carve, jumped up unhurt
from q snow bank, FASTENED to q
ncighboring farm house, hired horse
and overlook his train at the next
station. That sounds very much like
Munchausen,
People used TO ,eif about tho ''pea-
nut trains on tho old Androscoggin
railroad, before tho Maine Central
leased it, and there are stories cx-
tant of trains on certain Maine rail
roads where the passengers get off,
pick bouquet of wild flowers and
then jump on again without stopping
tho locomotive, but this Grand Trunk
train would seem to have been slower
than that oven.
Trains usually stop to ascertain the
fate of people who fall off, but this
one was apparently in too great a
hurry TO do that, for all it was going
SD slowly. Portland Advertiser,

Running to Death.

The death in San Francisco Of we'll
known gentleman caused by running
to catch ferry boat finds counter
part in the sudden death at a London
railway station of man who was
hurrying to catch train, but was
just too late. He was expressing his
vexation to one of the employees at the
station when he fell suddenly and
with groan expired. A London pa
per closes an editorial note of the af-
fair with this solemn adjuration; 1T
is better to lose reputation for pune
tuality than through such small and
fleeting anxiety to snap the irrepar-
able thread OF existence In the YER
nacular this might be called a solid
chunk" of wisdom.-San Francisco

Stree. lakirs are usually pretty

that they are ever on the lookout for

Wallenstein's taciturnity, that made
him shun speech, and his love of 81
lence that caused him to be irritated
at the slightest noise, We're due to his
constitutional temperament. He never
smiled. he never asked advice from
any one, and he could not endure to
be gazed at, even when giving an or
der. The soldiers, when he crossed
the camp, pretended not TO see him,
knowing that a curious look would
bring them punishment.-Youth's

Longevity Of Plants.

Plants grow as long as they liv.,
and they live much longer than AMI
mails. A baobab tree in Senegal,
about 100 yards in circumference, was
reckoned by Adanson to be over 5000
wears old. An oak in Dorsetshire,
Eng, is thought to be 1000 years old.
AS the baobab is now known to be a
fast growing tree, doubt has been
thrown on Adanson's estimate. Baron
Humboldt thought the dragon tree of
Teneriffe the Oldest tree, but Asa
Gray, in "Johnson's Cyclopedia, y
gives precedence in tree longevity to
the Mexican taxodeum or bald cy-
press, very slow growing tree. New
