Silent and Dramatic

The most dramatic of silent men
was Wallensteln, the antagonist Of
Gustavus Adolphus and the command
er of the emperor's armies In the Thir-
ty Years war. He insisted that the
deepest silence should reign about him.
His officers took care that no loud con-
versation should disturb their general
They knew that a chamberlain had
been hanged for waking him without
orders and that an officer who would
wear clanking spurs in the command
er's presence had been secretly put
to death. In the rooms Of his palace
the servants glided as If they we're
phantoms, and a dozen sentinels NOV
ed about his tent charged to secure
the silence the general demanded
Chains were stretched across the
streets in order to guard him against
the disturbance Of sounds. Wallen-
STEMS taciturnity, which made him
shun speech, and his love Of silence,
which caused him to he irritated ut the
slightest noise, were due to his consti-
tutlonal temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from
any one, and he could not endure to be
gazed at, even when giving an order
The soldiers, when he crossed the
camp, pretended not to see him, know
ing that a curious look would bring
them punishment.

United States upon whom the chief hope Of
woman suffrage rests. The one is the college

cause they approach it from different stand

is to go into politics in order to purify It.

Water Pressure Was Poor.

When the first fire company arrived,
the building was Il mass Ut flames. Chief
Cummings Immediately turned in Il gen
eral alarm. Flames were shooting from
every window of the big building that
ran the entire block from Nelson to
Mitchell street on Madison aud We're

of the building. The water pressure was
poor and try as they could, the tremen
could not get II stream that would carry
above the second floor.
Half an hour after the fire started.
it was necessary for fear Of falling walls
to remove engines on the Mitchell street
side of the Schlessingcr building and
fifty tiremen with streams of water play
ing upon them dragged the machines to
II place of safety.
Meanwhile, high power trolley and
electric light wires We're falling every
where, parts of walls were dropping out
and with the high wind prevailing, the
flames shot across the street to the Ter
minal hotel, which acted as sort Of a
iiue for the fire. Floor after floor of
the Terminal hotel was soon ablaze. The
tiremen were fought back until they
were in the rear of the Terminal hotel,
where lack of water again retarded any
effort to check the fire. Within half an
hour. the walls and roof of the hotel
had fallen in
