THE BRAvEsr BATTLE.

The brayest battle that ever was fought;
Shall l tell you where and when?
On the maps OF the world you will ind
it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with the eloquent words or
thought,
From the mouths of wonderful men;
But deep in walled-up woman's heart
0fwoman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her pari-
Lo! there was the battlefield.
No marshalin troops, no biyouac song
r No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But, oh these battles, they last so long,
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet faithful still as bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on and on in the endless wars,
Then silent, goes down.
q, We with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,
tell you the kingliest victories fought
Were fought in these silent ways.
o, spotless woman in a world of shame! (
With a splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you came,
The kingliest warrior born.

Moreover, every time you are halted

SQUIRRELS In WINTER.

II one asks a hundred school chill
dren-and grown people as well, for
that matter, how squirrels subsist iu
winter, nine out of ten will reply
that they eat the nuts they gather
in the summer and fall. This is
partly, bnt not wholly true. Their
food is widely varied in the course
Of year, especially in the spring
and summer. Indian corn in the
milk suffers more from squirrels
than from raccoons or muskrats,
which are proyerblally SO fond of it.
In places on the western frontier an
expensive system of watching has
had TO be maintained at times
against this pest. One dainty in
late summer is the mushroom Of
several varieties of which they are
fond, and this reminds me OF bit
of unexpected sagacity in one of the
western chipmunks lately spoken Of
in my hearing by the artist and au.
thor, Ernest Seton Thompson: 1t
appears that this chipmunk depends
for its ordinary fall and winter fare
upon the seeds of the D non pine,
which it preserves by storage in its
holes in decayed stumps or under
ground. 1t happens lately, how.
ever, that in o certain area of the
northwest the pinion crop was q
complete fsilure, and the ground
squirrels were compelled to find
something else for their subsistence
and winter stores. In this extrem-
ity they turned 70 the mushrooms,
everywhere abundant, and were
busy during all the late autumn in
gathering them.
They were too wise, however, 10
store them underground, where they
would soon have rotted, but instead
deposited them in notches and
crotches OF the lower branches OF
the forest trees. where they dried in
the open air and SO kept in good
condition to be eaten. Their shriv-
cling up and the shaking of the
branches by the winds caused many
to fail, and these the squirrels in.
dustriously picked up and tried to
fasten more securely to the branch
es.
This method Of providing them
selves with winter food implied the
necessity of their coming forth from
their underground retreat, no mat
ter how cold and snowy the wealth
er, whenever they wanted something
to eat, instead of having their lard
ers indoors, as is usual with them,
and it would be interesting to know
whether they actually did SO or
whether they failed to profit, after
all, by their seemingly sagacious
prudence. Chicago Chronicle.
