THE HRAyEsT BATuI,E

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 cannon. or battle shot,
With sword, or nobier pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or
Thought,
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in walled-up woman's heart.
or woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part
10! there Is that battle field
No marshalling troop, no bivouac song:
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 wallcd-up town
Fights on and on in the endless wars,
Then silent. unseen-,Soes down.
O, We with banners and BATTLE shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,
I tell you the kinglIest victories fought
Were fought In these silent ways.
o, spctless woman in world Of shame!
With splendid and silent sc0rn,
Go back to God as white az you came,
The lSngliest warrior born!

Former Home In Charleston.

ALBANY. Oct. 3.-Mrs. John Thompson, .
Southern woman, deserted by her husband. left
here to-day for her former home in Charleston,
$. {. She was the daughter of a respectable
Charleston family. and her future seemed bright
before she became enamored Of Thompson.
The couple were married in spite OF her
parents objections. and everything went
smoothly for a year. Then Thompson lost his
position and came North with his wife and
child. Some time ago they came to Albany,
Thompson obtaining work on the Capitol. An
other child was born here, which is now ls
months Old.
Thompson gradually became less affectionate
toward his wife, and soon made no secret OF tho
fact that he had ceased TO care for her. He re-
fused to give her money. and declared that sho
would have TO earn her own living. To a person
reared as Mrs. Thompson had been work was
something new, hut she bravcly tried TO provide
for herself and TWO children. She secured u
place with a family here. but the work was too
hard for her. and finally she complained to tho
police authorities of her husbands treatment.
|omp was arrested on the charge of being
n disOrdcrly person in failing 10 support his
wife. He was arrRiRned in court Yesterday.
Mrs. Thompson was there. too, with her young
est child in her arms. She did not want her
husband sent TO the penitentiary, only desiring
enough money TO pay her fare ia her fathers
home. Thompson remained Gnmovcd TO tho
piteouS appeals OF his wife, further than to give
her $40 to take her and the two children to
Charleston. Judge Adler then allowed Thomp-

Friends who Are WoFhinE for Q Pardon Think
1t In BreakinE Down.


Two friends Of John Y. McKane have been
working lately in his behalf and they believe no
will be liberated from Sing Sing in December. or
about six months before his term would expire
by Limitation. They began their campaign a
year ago and made such Roadway then that a
man who stood close to Gov. Morton assured
Mrs. McKane that her husband would be homo
by Christmas. Opposition from an unexpected
source. however, pre- vented his release and his
friends dcspaired Of success.
A recent visit to Sing Sing impelled the same
friends to renew the struggle for the ex.Chief's
release. They had noticed a marked change in
the man. His conversation led them to believe
that his mind was weakening. His ideas were
rational, but without continuity. One OF these
men said to a sun reporter yesterday:
Johns mind seemed to be weak. Repeated
~ he spoke Of family matters and his plans after

after a brief interval he would make the same
fact that he had repeatedly uttered them during
the conversation. Moreover. he talked as il he
