The bsavest battle that was fought;
Shall tell you where and whene
On the maps of the world you will find il not;
II was fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay not with eloquent word or thought,
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in a walled-up woman's heart
Of woman that would not yield,
But patiently. silently bore her part
10, there in that battlefield.
No marshaling troop, no bivouac song:
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
And oh! these battles they last SO long
From babyhood to the grave!
Yet. faithful still as a bridge of tars,
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on aud on in the endless wars,
Then silent, unseen--goes down.

A woman can never understand
Why there is no such thing as fash
ion in politics.
The bravest man l ever knew was
terribly afraid of three things-a
dog, a woman, and lightning.

as they look, sooner or later they
would all blush themselves to death.

else be invented PIatonic friend
ship, because it combined every
thing you got in all the other kinds.
There is generally as much dit
ference between the mans story
and the woman's story of the
same thing as there is be-
tween a woman's bonnet and the
one in the window that she tried to
copy.
