N Tialian woman went to jail in New Jorsey eix years ago. | A At that time she was ignorant, spoke no English, the same peesant type as her laborer husband. She has just been released uttorly changed. She speaks and writes good English. She, has learned housekeeping and art embroidery. She can do sten-| ography and typewriting. Her one thought now is to send her Husband and two children to night school and raise the etendard | of her family. Of course there must have been good fibre in this woman in the first place. The six years in jail didn’t do it all. Another might, ba ss | have come out as stupid and shiftless as when she went in—or worse. , Tore 9 The case is a good example of how Character and Opportunity need each the other, and how they rush into each other’s arms when they get a chance. If she had lived with her husband those six years! the good in her would have spent itself in sordid cares of the struggle for life. Opportunity came—though in etrange guise. The woman was sentenced to be hanged for murder. It was shown, however, that she killed the man because he tried to win her 2 from her husband. ‘The thousands of people who believed in her and helped save her from the gallows may be well satisfied with the | result. As the women put it: “I promised God that for sparing my, _ life I would do something to make it better. y She has made good. em F; el eoacninnneniee THE LADIES’ BATTLE—ANOTHER SKIRMISH.
