Then there followed a scene pathetic, and most dramatic. Dropping his lines and throwing up his hands the driver exclaimed: “My God! is it possible? My father was a Confederate soldier and, at the battle of Antietam, was wounded in the neck. Miss Barton found him on the battlefield and bound up his wounds in time to save his life. And just to think ‘the likes o’ me,’ a poor driver, is hauling her body across the city tonight.” C Clara Barton has to her credit 72 achievements, every one of which entitles her to a page in history. W. H. SEARS, Secretary to Miss Barton. Clara Barton,—this woman’s immortal work. _Boston Transcript._ Not all the noblest songs are worth one noble deed. ALFRED AUSTIN. Clara Barton,—her work and her achievements,—wonders wrought by that noble woman of New England. Oakland (Cal.) _Tribune_. Clara Barton,—no other whose achievements even approximate hers; her allegiance ran the whole race of mankind. Sacramento (Cal.) _Union_. Clara Barton,—measured by any scale you may choose, was the most useful woman of her day and generation. Bangor (Me.) _News_. By our deeds, and by our deeds alone— God judges us—if righteous God there be, Creeds are as thistle-down, wind-tossed and blown, But deeds abide throughout eternity. GEORGE BARLOW. All who work beneath its glorious folds (Red Cross) are coworkers not only with the noblest spirits of all ages and all countries but, even reverently be it spoken, co-workers with the Divine beneficence whose blessed task we know will one day wipe every tear from every eye.
