“You just ask your neighbors, and they’ll tell you that nobody thinks of raising a calf—in town here.” “But I’m not asking my neighbors.” “Now, Miss Barton, don’t you know we have no pasturage and we have to buy all our feed, and feed is high now, too.” “Never mind, we’ll get the feed.” “But, Miss Barton, the calf is a nuisance around the house, and it will cost more——” “Now, you’ve said enough; the calf is _not_ a nuisance and _I_ am paying the expenses. If you don’t want to take care of the calf, I’ll take care of it myself. Now go along and don’t talk to me any more about that calf. The butcher will _not_ get it.” And the butcher didn’t get it.

HOSEA BALLOU. THE KIND OF GIRLS THAT NEEDED HELP In Miss Barton’s relief work in the overflow of the Ohio River at one of the stops, at Shawneetown, among the people who came on board the boat for relief were two girls. They had evidently told Clara Barton their needs in a private conversation and were leaving, when somebody living in the town came to Miss Barton and quietly told her that she had better not have anything to do with these girls; they were not the kind she should be helping.
