What the Little Jap Teaches.

Baltimore American.
The little Jap he pegs away
Night after night, day after day;
He's always going right ahead
That's why 90 many Siavs are dead,
He doesn't stop to rest or sleep, [steeI
But though the roads are rough and
And Toe begirt. still day by day
The little Jap he pegs away.
The little Jap he doesn't lalk
Nor diagram with pen or chalk.
He doesn't tedIously explain
How certain forts his men will gain.
Instead he saves his breath and strength
To shout with when he shall at length
Have felled the grisly giants stalk
The little Jap he doesn't talk.
The little Jap lie doesn't brag
Or madIy masticate the rag.
He doesn't gloat DER fallen foe
Until that foe is lying low.
He doesn't tell the world his plans
But marshals silently his clans
And scraps with vim that cannot lag
The little Jap be doesn't brag.
The little Jap he doesn't wait
And sit around and rail at fate.
Instead he tackles with vim
Wbatever's In the way of him.
He doesn't soak In jagful juice.
He knows such things aren't any use.
He's busy early, busy late
The little Jap he doesn't wait.
The little Jap thus teaches you
And teaches other psopie, too
That 'tisn't wise to jag or brag
Or mouth the mastlsative rag
Or wait or murmur or complain,
But just to work, come sun or rain;
Less theorizing, more of do,
The little Jap man teaches you.

A COLONIAL TREATY
Anglo French Agreement Is
Signed In London.
SETTLEMENT OF VEXrD QUESTIONS
Freedom of Trade In Egypt and Mo-
rocco Guaranteed For Thirty
Years - No Forts ON African
shore Opposite Gibraltar.

LONDON, April 9.-The Anglo
French colonial treaty was signed in
the foreign office in London yesterday
by the French ambassador and the Of
ficials of the foreign office. 1t COM
prises three scpsrate instruments. The
first deals with Egypt and Morocco,
the second with Newfoundland and
West Africa and the third with Siam,
the New Hebrides and Madagascar.
BY the terms of the treaty the pres
ent political situation in Morocco and
in Egypt remains unchanged, and Il
full agreement is reached regarding
Egyptian finances. Great Britain rec
ognizes the right of France to guard
the tranquility of Morocco, while
France will not impede the action of
Great Britain IN Egypt, and Great
Britain adheres to the convention of
1888 for the neutrality of the Suez ca
nal. 1t is agreed that public works
and other undertakings in Egypt and
Morocco shall remain in the hands of
the respective states.
The freedom of trade in Egypt and
Morocco is guaranteed for thirty years,
and If the convention shall not be de-
nounced before the expiration Of that
period it is to remain in force for four
years more.
In order to assure the freedom of the
strait of Gibraltar it is agreed that no
Fertilization can be erected on the Mo-
roccan coast between Melilla and the
mouth of the Sebu river.
The two governments promise mu-
tual assistance for the execution of
these arrangements.
In Newfoundland France foregoes
exclusive fishing rights OH the French
shore, though retaining her right to
fish. The bait bill of 1886 is modified
so as to give Newfoundlanders the
right to sell bait to the French fisher
men. Indemnities will be given the

establishments OH the French shore in
exchange for the abandoned fishing
fIahts.
