The most dramatic Of silent men

Gustavus Adolphus and the command

tv Years war. he insisted that the
deepest silence should reign about him.
His officers took care that no loud con-
yersation 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 bis palace
the servants glided as If they were
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 MIN
shun speech, and his love Of silence,
which caused him to be irritated at
the slightest noise, were due 70 his
constitutional temperament. He never
smiled. he never asked advice from
any one. and he could not endure to

fine camp. pretended not to see him,
knowing that a curious look wouio

LESSONS LEARNED BY CITIES.


Encouragement and Financial Trou-
bles Constantly Coming to Light.
New Hampton, Ia. is learning the
meaning Of depreciation. 1t recently
found It necessary to discard the cleo
tric equipment that had been In use
but four years and put in an entirely
new equipment For several months
It has been trying to sell the old equip
ment, which cost $4,000, but has not
yet found a purchaser. Its scrap value
Is Of course very small.
Fitzgerald, Ca, has apparently learn
ed in part at least the lessons thai
trust" and Dust" are practically sy'
nonymous and that in the long run IL
doesn't pay to sell below cost. At least
that is the natural deduction from the
following item in the Journal of that
city:
beginning with this month, consum'
ers will only have until the 10th OF the
month to make their settlement with
the city. Water and light viii both be
cut of on the 18th OF each month from
this on. Then in the future meters fol
both water and light will either be
sold or rented to consumer. The city
will no longer furnish them free OF
charge. The meters Will either be sold
at their actual cost or will be rented
to the consumer at % cents each month
A charge from now on for light con-
nection Of 50 will be made, and this
fee must accompany the application
for a connection"
Falls City, Neb is learning that 1t Is
easier to vote bonds than to sell them,
for the mayor writes that no purchaser
has vet been found for the per cent
bonds voted on July 10 to improve the
light and water plant This is a lesson
that other and larger cities are learn
ing to their sorrow, though it should
not be a matter Of surprise where I'm
proyements" involve the practical wip
ing out OF the present equipment
which has not been paid for
Hamilton. Ont, is one of many cities
that are learning that manufacturers
are curlously prone to serve their good
customers first. 1t is disappointed be-
cause of the delay In the delivery OF
the new equipment for its electric light
plant All manufacturers know and al
low for the fact that city warrants are
apt to cash themselves slowly and thai
acceptance Of supplies or machinery
often depends upon crossing the right
palm with gold. A manufacturers
agent told the writer two stories tC
illustrate this.
IL one case after trying for two
years to collect a bill he was finally
paid in city warrants. Even then he
could cash them only by selling then
| to the local political boss at discount
that more than absorbed the profits.
In this other case his firm installed
some expensive machinery In q city
plant. No sooner had the firms work
men left than the report came that the
machine was not working properly
An expert was sent on to adjust it
After this had been repeated severa
times man approached the exper
with the remark. you've good ma
chinist, but a poor politician. You'll
never get an acceptance. until you've
paid the superintendent 500 and thu
chief engineer 500" And he was right

ORIGIN of Precious Ores.

Men sometimes dream Of enormous
wealth stored deep In the earth, be-
low the reach of miners; but accord
ing TO an eminent geologist, there Is
little or no ground to believe that val
liable metallic deposits lie very deep
In the earth's crust. Such deposits,
according to this authority, are made
by underground waters, and owing to
the pressure on the rocks at great
depths the waters are confined to a
shell near the surface. With few ex-
ceptions ore deposits become too lean
to repay working below 5000 feet.
Nine mines In ten, taking the world as
a whole, are poorer in the second
thousand feet than In the first thou
sand and poorer yet In the third thou
sand than in the second.-Chicago
Record Herald.

Only One Sea Power.

In the audacity Of puny triumphs
nations are called sea powers, but
there is only one sea power, and that
is the sea itself. Ear famed our ma
vies melt away" Within a hundred
yards Of the best charted shore stout
ships are as bubbles. That sea that Is
as familiar when calm to little boats
and ferries and tugs as are the thor
oughfares of a city to Its crowd OF
humanity takes on all the aspect or
chaotic terror when winds and storms
prevail. The waters so close as to re-
feet the friendly lights Of the great
metropolis are as alien to the forces OF
men as are the depths of the farthest
ocean. Lord Byron's "Apostrophe' has
lost none of its tremendous reality IN
all the progress from the little wooden
sailers to our greatest merchantmen
and ironclads. Nor can its truth be
lessened In all the maturest develop
ment we can dream of.-Kansas City
Times.

English Sporting Parsons.

TO the London Times a correspond
ont writes: "Once when q duke Oh
Grafton was thrown into a ditch a
voung curate who had been closely
competing with him for pride Of place
shouted. Lie still, your grace and
cleared him and his hunter and the
fence at a bound. So pleased was the
duke with the performance that ne
declared he would give the young oil
vine his first vacant living and not
long afterward carried out the prom
,se vowlng that If the curate had
stopped to pull him out of the dixie ne
would never have patronNed him.
Sporting parsons are still to be found
in almost every county today who can
hold their own in the first flight when
hounds run hard and some Of the Keen
est fox hunters in all times have been
supplied from the ranks Of the clergy
Even the warning against theiT
'hawkynge, huntynge and dansynge' in
the reign of King Henry vi. appears
to have had very little effect"

LARGE LEAK IN SPIRIT LAKE.
Liuht and Heat Plant Shows Material
Loss on Eight Months Operation.


Loss on Eight Months Operation.
About fifty citizens attended a meet
ing recently held in Spirit Lake, Ia.
TO listen to official statements relative
to the financial condition OF the light
and heating plant, with view to get
ting the sentiment Of the taxpayers
on the suggestion TO sell the plant. The
adyisablllty of issuing bonds to i'm
prove the water system was also con
sidered.
Clerk Osborne made report OF the
receipts and disbursements at the pow
er house for the past eight months. A
material loss in operating the plant
was shown, which 1t is evident cannot
be avoided under municipal ownership
and present operating conditions.
A motion that the council be required
to submit at a special election a propo-
sition to sell the light and heating
plant, provided that no bid less than
the present Indebtedness Of the plant
be considered, carried by a four-hfths
vote.
The editor Of the Beacon states that
the plant "has always been operated
at heavy loss"
