SUSAN B. ANTHONY. (In 1872, she then being under arrest for voting for President of the United States.) Let us “push things” so that every state in the union shall speedily surrender to the advocates of women’s equality and elevation. MARY A. LIVERMORE—Jan. 8, 1870. American women and students of American history have long deplored the meagre credit which has been given to women for the part they have taken in the progress and achievement of America, as a nation. MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN. In “Part Taken by Women in American History.” I know nothing remarkable I have done. The hum-drum of my every day life seems to me quite without incident. CLARA BARTON. Speaking of myself, and my own doings, is a thing very distasteful to me. CLARA BARTON. [Illustration: THE RED CROSS HOME OF CLARA BARTON, GLEN ECHO, MARYLAND “Clara Barton to the end kept open house at her Glen Echo home, for the soldier boys.” “The Red Cross House at Glen Echo was a flag museum of historical achievements.” Historical ground carries its own sentiment: Mount Vernon, American Liberty; Monticello, American Democracy; Glen Echo, World Humanity. ] FOUR FAMOUS WOMEN A famous artist called at Miss Barton’s home and explained to her that he had been sent out to secure the portraits of the four most famous women in America. She asked him, “Whom have you been to see?” And he replied, “I have come to you first.” “And whom will you go to next?” Miss Barton inquired. “To Julia Ward Howe, of Boston,” he replied. “And whom for the third?” Miss Barton asked. “I do not know,” he answered. “You tell me, Miss Barton.” “Well,” replied Miss Barton, “why not go to Mrs. General John A. Logan?” “I will, Miss Barton,” he said. “And whom will I go to next?” asked the artist. Miss Barton replied, “I cannot tell you, but if Susan B. Anthony were living, or Mary Livermore, I could tell you.” Susan B. Anthony wrote to Clara Barton: “I know, in a general way, my dear Clara, that you have done some wonderful things in the world, but I would like to have a list of just what you have done, to present to my audiences. So please prepare a brief story of your achievements for my use.” In due time came the reply, enclosing a very brief chronological list of Miss Barton’s achievements. Miss Anthony wrote back at once and said: “Dear Clara: I cannot present this skeleton to the public. Please put some clothes on it.” XXXVI Clara Barton—a wonderful majesty in the simplicity of her character. Sacramento (Cal.) _Record-Union_. Like the stories from fairy lore are the accounts, modestly written and simply given, of the tremendous, almost super-human, work done by this little woman. Oakland (Cal.) _Tribune_.
