I LI FF

BY EDGAR ILIFF. Why do we make so much noise? Noise Is not the measure of power in nature, human affairs or machinery. The Great Corliss engine Js so silent ; in It working that a little girl looked at it with suppressed breath, and said finally. "Why, it's God!" -r 'i The ; first ' time I Tisited Niagara Falls I imagined that I would hear the roar away back in Buffalo. As I

Lneased them on the trolley car I lis-

, tened intently, for that. roar. -When I went Into the little park at Niagara ;City I still failed to hear the roar.: I asked a policeman where the falls I were, and he looked me .over as if I bad been a visitor from another planet. 'Then he pointed to a little group of ; men and women, who appeared to be ; looking down. It was only a , little piece ahead of me. Then I went over ito them and stood at Prospect Point and also looked down upon the most j wonderful fall of water, in the world, and still there was no roar. It was only a gentle, soothing swish of water. Then it grew into harmony, the most mysterious music I had ever heard. Mrs. Van Rensselaer, in her book on "The Music of Niagara,' said: Is Like Orchestra. "It is like the music of an orchestra so very far away that its notes . are attenuated to an indescribable ' delicacy and are Intermittently per- ! eeived though wafted to us on variable zephyrs." It Is a wondrous harmony of floods, a sublime choral, and the effect is a most profound impression of repose. It is the voice of a great organ subidued by the soft pedal, a grand and noble unison, and yet there Is power enough here to run all the machinery and all the railroads on this continent. The greatest men have been the quietest William the Silent was renowned for his still tongue, his great sagacity and his courage and masterful leadership of men. Wellington was a very quiet man. Grant was a silent victor. One word from Napoleon meant more than a long and loud harangue from some impassioned orator. When the spellbinders were through sawing the air Ben Franklin could arise in the convention and kill all they said by a few sensible words, touched up with his rare humor. Useful Work is Silent. The most useful work done in this world is silent, whether In the shop, the mill, the office, the home, in congress, in great places of public trust or in any walk of life. Who can measure the influence of the quiet, patient mother, hoping all things, bearing all things, guiding, directing and conserving the household, end training the children into gentle

men and 'gentle women for life's battles? Who can sound, the depths of the, quiet work of the good priest, or the sacrificing sister .of charity," or ot the untiring and devoted pastor, of whom Chaucer said: . "Wide was his parish, and houses far assunder, . .- But he eared not for neither rain nor thunder.", " 1 Their labors are as silent as the undercurrent of the placid sea; but

this steady, noiseless flow carries the

world along and keeps the gulf stream clear and pure, and if our ears were delicately attuned we could hear the sublime choral Just as Niagara gives us a sense of divine, repose. People Like Noise. . And yet there are plenty of persons who - imagine they : are doing ' great things when they make much . noise. They think ' their blowing impresses others. But you can put it down as true that noisey and boastful persons never accomplish much, even if for a brief spell it does look as if they are setting the world on fire. A parade of authority shows the weak man. 'A boast of knowledge uncovers the ignoramus. A public disclosure of money reveals the poor man and the fool. A display of jewelry advertises the vulgar man. One of Shakespeare's fools said: "Have more than thous showest. Speak. less than thou knowest, Lend less than thou owest." In other words, dont put all you've got in the front window, don't tell all you know, don't be generous at some one else's expense, and go away back
