The following good one is told Of

In 1870 she delivered a lecture on
Woman SuaIage, in the Metropolitan
Thea;Jr, San Francisco. The house
was packed. la tho midst Of the lee
tnTs. sha DIRE. herself up proudly. in
referring to wom-n's sphere, as she
considered it, and asked, What WAS I
born fort' There YVES a short pause to
give effect to the words. Then She re-
pested the question, "what was l born
for;" Again there was a pause, and
the silence among the audience became
painful. The ihiId time she asked,
with more dramatic emphasis. "wha,
was ] born fo.7" Scarcely had the
words escaped her lips when a little
shriil voice away up in the third gallery
shout i. ~ give it up!" The eject
can be better imagined than described.
Il was fully five minutes before III, au-
dicuco became sufficiently tranquil fer
the lectures to proceed; bot the force
Of the lecture was spoiled. Abide boy
hal in four words solved the Woman
Suffrage problem. to which Anna had
devoted the best part OF her life. For
what: Simply trying to make boards
grow on women's faces ami to form
humps on their backs to afford them an
opportunity TO carry the hOd.

that unless q totally different eourse is
quickly adopted. the session will have
been FILTERED away, and the cost of its
