THE BRAVEST BATTLES
Joaquin Miller

The bravest battle that ever was fought,
Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps OF the world you'll find it not
Twas fought by the mothers OF men
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or noble pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought.
From the mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in the waIled-up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part
Lo! there is the battlefield.
No marshalling troop, no bivouac song,
No banner to gleam and wave.
But. oh these battles; they last SO long,
From babyhood to the grave.

Great Sensation.

Rudolph Fullhweiler has escaped

Not little commotion was created
on the sUreets Friday when the
above bit of news was passed along and
Saturday morning the subject was the
uppermost in discussions. People
who recalled the brutal murder of
little Jennie Reihle on June 30th last,
shuddered to think of this degenerate

his re-capture as announced in the
press dispatch from Waupun Saturday
morning, caused sigh of relief.

MOTOR=PACED
RACES AT ELKWOOD.

The motor races which are to be
held in conjunction with the cham
pionship N. G.. A. events at Elkwood
Park, Long Branch, next Saturday
afternoon, promise to be the most in
teresting part>o OF the program. The
popularity of this form of sport has
increased by leaps and bounds since
the opening of the present season, and
the three events which are carded for
Saturday are all attracting a large
entry. The ten-mile eastern district
motor championship promises to fur
nish an exciting struggle.
Owing to the width of the track and
the fact that 1t Is a full mile in cir
cumference it will probably be possible
to run off almost the entire card with
out the necessity Of trial heats in any
of the events. The hve-mile n. G. A.
grand circuit championship for the
professional pedal-pushers will bring
together all of the best men now rac-
ing. including Kramer. Fogler, Moran,
Root, Bardgett, Butler, Krebs. Rupp-
recht, Wiley, Venom and Anderson.
The ten-mile open race for amateurs
Is another distance event which will
