THE EARNEST BATTLE.

By Joaquin Miller. The bravest battle that ever was lou. Shall I tell you where and wheni On the maps of the world you will iii
 it not;
 Twas fought by the mothers of men. Nay. not with cannon or battle shot, With sword or nobler pen; Nay not with eloquent words or thought, From mouths of wonderful men; But deep in walled-up woman's heart Of woman that would not yield. But bravely. silently bore her part Lol there was the battlefield No marshaling troops, no bivouac song, No banner to geam and wave; But, ohl these battles, they last so long, From babyhood to the grave. Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars She fights in her walled-up town Fights on and in the endless wars. Then silent, unseen-goes down. Oh ye with banners and battle shot, And soldiers to shout and praise, I tell you the kingliest victories fought Were fought in these silent ways. Oh spotless woman in a world of shaunel With splendid and silent scorn. Go back to God as white as you came. The kineliest warrior bornl

Erance Reaches LlmIt.

Paris, February 19.-The foreign office confirms the Algeciras report that France has offered to concede the control of the Moroccan police to the Sultan if the latter will select French officers. An accord is considered to hinge upon Ger many's acceptance of French officers. If this is not accepted, a crisis will still be possible, as the French officials view is that France has reached the limit of her concessions. The newspapers, includ- ing the semi-official Temps, and other organs, discuss the French concessions regretfully even coldly maintaining that they foreshadow further German demands tending to humiliate France

Premier Carnival City.

''Mardi Gras was first observed in the United States at Mobile" said J. w. Weiss, the veteran travelling man and popular citizen of the Gulf City. Tt was in 1881. New Orleans began to hold Mardi Gras festivities many years afterward.

I am reminded of a similar story told about visit the famous actress made to Milwaukee, said a traveling man. "It seems that the di- vine Sarah thought herself ill-used by the Milwaukee bonifaees and when in a climax of Camille she began a tirade against the Milwaukee hotels. There were a few Frenchmen in the audience and for a moment their faces were blank, but they soon collected their wits and began to laugh heartily, while everybody else in the audience applauded. As Bernhardt was speaking from her heart, she de- livered the attack in a highly dramatic manner. It was the best part of the play"
