 Rose Not At Gibraltar.
 London, Jan. 3, 3:25 D. 1n.-Reu- ter's correspondent at Gibraltar cables that Edward Rose, of Denver, who sailed from England on the Persia, did not land at Gibraltar.
 The accuracy of the correspondents s information is question in London, however, as it is regarded unlikely that Rose would have proceeded be- yond the point for which he was booked.
 Previous cable dispatches, none of which came from Gibraltar, said Rose left the Persia at that point.

Mothers of Men

The bravest battle that ever was fought
Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world You will find
it not
Twas fought by the mothers of men
Nay, not with the cannon or battle shot,
With the sword or noble pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words OF thought
From mouths of wonderful men
But deep in the walled-up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part
Lo, there is that battlefield
No Marshalling troop, no bivouac song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But, oh, these battles that last so long
From boyhood to the grave.
Yet faithful still as bridge of stars,
The fight in her walled-up town
Fights on and on in the endless wars,
Then, silent, unseen, goes down.
