are as mad as Hamlet and over

terita nihili -
The great men of history have
been silent men. The great nations Of
the world have been silent nations. Not
because, in either case, they had moth
ing to say, but because they thought
hard and long before they said or did
things, and because they exercised the
great quality of self-restraint, begin
ming in language, in spoken thought,
and extending naturally therefrom in
most other directions. The truly hero
ic Is never garrulous; loquacity is as
homogeneous with hero as fairness is
with saint. The greatest and most
successful patriot Of history unless 1t
be Washington-was that Dutch Will
liam of Orange, who was called the
Silent. Won Moltke, the most emf
nent strategist of modern times-who
did not belong to the Anglo Saxon race,
either, be it noted--was famous be-
cause he knew how to be silent in
heaven knows how many different
tongues of which he was master.
Though and expression are co-relat-
ed, but the man who attempts to be
all expression with no basis Of thought
soon comes to grief. There was some
thing good in the Stole. He endured
in silence. There is something to adj
nlire in the fatalism Of the Orient
which suffers and gives no sign. There
is more majesty in the silence of the
Son Of Man before His accusers than
there would have been in wilderness
Of oratory, torrent Of defense. David,
betrayed by Amasa, his beloved son
Absalom in rebellion against him,
smitten by sofe Illness, broken by
the consciousness of a hideous sin,
which, though repented Of and atoned
for, still carried its punishment, ais
even repented sins will and must; Da-
vid, reviled, Knocked, falsely accused;
David, a fugitive, rejected where he
had been acclaimed, ashamed where he
had been honored, put a bride in his
mouth, and kept silence, yea, even from
good words, though it was pain and
grief to him. BE STILL" was the great
command of old, "and know that am
God" l4s .#@l.s ~
Let us stop talking about anything
and everything and nothing a little
space, withdraw. ourselves from the
world while, even though we refrain
from good words to our pain and
grief and take thought The lost art
of meditation might be sought for
again to our great advantage. Let us
see with how few words we can get
along, and let us strive to have great
thoughts Of God and man back of our
simple expressions. Let us cultivate
the style of silence. Bride the tongue,

Talleyranl said that speech was
meant to conceal thought. That was
Talleyrand's perverted idea. It was a
good thing for him that he had some
thing with which to conceal his
thoughts, for he was one of the most
ignoble characters who ever CLOSED
over lying and treachery by calling it
diplomacy. But speech is meant to-
express thought. 1T Is one Of Gods
noblest gifts to men. Tt distinguishes
es us from the animal provided We
use it wisely. provided 1t has
thought back of it. The gossiping,
cabling, externally talking man.
whose words are as shallow as the
babbling brook, Is entitled to no moro
respect than chattering monkey.
Take time to think, then. There Is no
thought without time, there can be no
wisdom without silence.

Some ethnologists have endeavored to
place the cradle of the Aryan race in
Lithuania and have maintained that
there. rather than in India, the Ian
guage begins. Whether this be true
or not, certainly the ancient speech of
Lithuania is one of the oldest of hui
man tongues. The study of deriva
lions as applied to language is one Of
the most fascinating which can en-
gage our attention. History, science,
art evolution, to say nothing of folk
lore and fancy, are preserved by phil
ology.
I have been looking up the meaning
of the word restraint" and I find that
one of its origins is in an ancient Lith-
uanian word meaning to freeze, con-
veying the idea of absolute rigidity.
This understanding lends emphasis to
the word in modern usage. 1t seems
TO indicate that restraint originally re-
ferred to a power as memorable and as
ruthless as the cold OF all substances

Hyperion Thoater.
"THE ToRBADOR" TO BE PRE-.
SCENTED TONIGHT.


SCENTED TONIGHT.
1.-THE Toreador,'' which will be pre-
scented at the Hyperion tonight and
tomorrow night, has been one of the
most successful musical comedies pre-
scented in years. It's remarkable run at
the Knickerbocker theater In New York
last season attests this fact. The MIN
ble-toed Wilson is Of course the prime
comic figure in this jolly piece, and as
the timid little Tiger who is forced
to masquerade as a death-defying Tore
ador he is winning one Of the prime
fun-making hits of his career. But Mr..
Wilson is not the only one laugh maker
in the cast, for the supporting company
is of a high order of excellence and in
dividual hits are scored by a dozen or
more of the players. Managers Nixon
and Zimmerman have staged the pro-
duction in truly brilliant fashion, and
have provided a chorus which is nota-
BILE for it's attractiveness of personnel,
the beauty Of the costumes worn and ih
its numerical strength.
It's very droll role that Comedian
Jefferson De Angels has in 1.-THE EN-
erald Isle" the last Sir Arthur Sulli-
van opera, which is to be seen at the
Hyperion next Wednesday night. It's
that of a wayside entertainer, a happy
go-lucly, never-serious charlatan of the
highway.
''Hemmed in by sunny smiles, throng-
ed with gay comedians and trained
singers, made beautiful by an enor-
NOUS bouquet of American beauties to
the continuous strains of fascinating
melody" is the manner In which the
New York critics describe George w.
Iederer's brilliant musical frivolity,
"Sally in Our Alley" which will be seen
in this city at the Hyperion next Sat-
urday night with it's great big cast Of
