Show SOUTH CACHE COURIER. HYRUM, UTAH and took poor Nolan and hls traps on the boat back to try hls second cruise. He looked very blank when he was told to get ready to Join her. He had known enough of the signs of the sky Indeed, It may have happens! more But which 6hip It was on I cannot tell. However, In one, at least, of the great frigate duels with the English, In which the navy was really buptlzed, It huppened that a round shot from the enemy entered one of our ports square, and took right down the officer of the gun himself, and almost every man of the guns crew. Now you may say what you choose about courage, but that is not a nice thing to see. But as the men who wrere not killed picked themselves up, and the surgeons people were carrying off the bodies, there appeared Nolan, In hls shirt sleeves, with the rnmmer In hls hand, and, just as if he had been the officer, told them off with authority, who should go to the cockpit with the w'ounded men, who should stay wjth him, perfectly cheery, and with that way which makes men feel sure all is right and Is going to be than once. to know that till that moment he was going home." But this was a distinct evidence of something he had not thought of, perhaps, that there was no going home for him, even to a prison. And this was the first of some twenty such transfers, which brought him sooner or later Into half'our best vessels, but which kept him all hls life at least some hundred miles from the country he had hoped he might never hear of again.

Lord Kitchener was positively sphinxlike In his reserve, Lord Palmerston was proverbially silent, while William Pitt throughout hls meteoric career was given to long periods of silence. Sir Isaac Newton, world famous as a scientist, rarely spoke save to answer a question. Darwin wrote much, but spoke little, while Lord Kelvin was among the most mute of great men. Authors are rarely great talkers. Tolstoi, the most amiable of men, was reserved in conversation, and at times absolutely mute. Balzac, the great French romanticist, when engaged in thinking out a new work often passed several days talking to no one but himself. i Beethoven was reticent, Mozart sparing in hls speech, while It Is said of Chopin that he loved silence better even than music, and Wagner, save when discussing musical matters, was silent even to the point of rudeness, Among the most silent of the worlds great men Were the late Lord Tennyson and Thomas Carlyle. ' WILL MAKE JUIIE 5 A STATE HOLIDAY UTAHNS WILL CARRY OUT THE WISHES OF GOVERNMENT ON v ENROLLMENT DAY. Public Meetings to be Held on Regis tration Day, When. Speakers Will Make Clear Purpose of United States In War. Salt' Lake City. The Utah State Council of Defense is endeavoring to carry out the wishes of the government to make Enrollment day, June 5, a state-wid- e festival. Similar plans are under way In other mountain states and, in fact, universally throughout the nation. The application of the selective draft to the problem of raising an army has aroused misgivings and doubt, which, if unchecked, might affect the morale of tbe country. It is expected that there will be public meetings, held in nearly every precinct of the state and nation on Enrollment day, at which the purpose of the United States In the war will be set forth and the conscription law explained. The speakers will, jnnke clear that the conscription law Was, passed by congress by the representatives of the young men who are to be drawn by lot, so that the operation of the law will simply result in a volunteering in mass of the young men of the nation in place of volunteering singly, as was done under the old system. It is believed that there are few people left who do not. now understand that no humiliation whatever attaches, or can attach, to a young man selected for service under the new law since, in fact, he is precisely as much a volunteer as if he walked up to a recruiting officer and asked to be enrolled. In liis "proclamation for the enrollment, President Wilson used the following words : The significance of this cannot be overstated. It Is a new thing in our history and a landmark In our progress. It Is a new manner of accepting and vititalizing our duty to give ourselves with thoughtful devotion to fie common purpose of us all. It Is In no sense a conscription of the unwilling; it is, rather, selection from a nation w hich has volunteered in mass. It is no more a choosing of those who shall march with the colors than it is a selection of those who shall serve. an equally necessary and devoted purpose in the industries that lie behind the battle line. The day here named Is the time upon which all shall present themselves for assignment to their tasks. It is for that reason destined to be remembered as one of , the most conspicuous moments in our history. It is nothing less than the day upon which the manhood of the country sfmll step forward in one solid rank in defense of the ideals to which this nation is consecrated. , It is important to these ideals no less than to the pride of this generationjn manifesting its devotion to them, tliat'ther6 be no gaps in the ' ranks. Naturally, the programs iu ..different localities will vary, but in the main, they will be marked by the following , features: , Flags will be flying from every public and private building. !. Bands will be playing and there will be parades. 3. There will be public meetings during the day, at which the duty and responsibility of the United States, Its purpose in the wrar and the meaning of Enrollment day will be outlined by competent speakers. 4. Some places have indicated that, in order to thoroughly get into the spirit of the occasion, they are planning war dinners, at which a menu such as is served to our soldiers will be provided. Everywhere In H:he region there is indications of concerted celebration of the day, so that little doubt Is felt of the realization of the hopes of the Secretary of War, who said at the National Council of De1. inter-mounta- in fense conference: The first step is the registration of the men.
