Miss Clara Barton exhibits a re-
markable degree of energy and resolu.
tion for woman some years past seventy,
though her health is excellent and she
considers herself thoroughly equal to
the task. Miss Barton lives in the old
house in Washington that General Grant
used as his headquarters during war
times. She has always been associated
with charitable societies, and at the
close of the Civil War she resigned her
clerkship in the United States Patent
Office TO organize societies of nurses for
service on the battlefield.
