house and senate bill agree on that, and the

Wilson bill was Sin spirit and essence a pro-

It was the trouble with the bill. And the

more SO. The final outcome will probably be
s,compromise somewhere between the two,

THFRH has been another turn for the bet
Ger Ia the Industrial tide. Wool sales were
larger last week than In the corresponding
week year ago, the paralysis which Mex In
seR1sn has imposed on this industry being
relieved By the definite promise of free wool.
The February output Of pig-iron increased 10
ger cent. The retail dry goods trade is re-
SOrted to be dearly up to the volume of the
season year ago. There begins to be q
"ealthier look to the money markets with a

Of business out Of the iong.congested centers.
Meanwhile that the conditions are being built
up which will give strength and solidity
when the revival comes, Is shown by the ex.
port and Import movement. Exports are
considerably larger than year ago, while
imports. partly owing. perhaps, to prospec-
dVe tariff changes and partly to the low
,'rices, were actually 40 per cent less last
iaonth than q year 40. THIS remarkab

THE BATTLE.


After the battle-peacel But for some men
The battle lasts till death: oil efforts lead
In these to grief and bitterness; and when
Unconquered, though they fall and faint and
bleed,
Their souls are mettled for some blaeker strife.
They struggle bravely for an inch of life.
These are the hapless ones-or so we deem
Our brothers who must either fight or die.
Yet he that ever swan an angry stream
And reached firm shore knows more than you
orI-
If we are joyous in unruffled days
That hope which grows from grief and struggle
stays.
They are not hapless. In their heart of hearts
They know the deepest faith that life can give.
Their living is no playing OF old parts.
In the wide wisdom of the gods they live.
For they have conquered whore the millions
fall
Their ship Of life Is stronger for the gale.
