SUFFRAG6T
Beuan Life's Battle Handicapped
by Fate.
Early Struggles Of Or. Anna Shaw,
Head of the Suffrage Association,
Who Won Success Against
Many Discouragements.

Boston, Mass.-0ne of the ableSt
leaders connected with the woman
suffrage movement In the United
States is DR.. Anna Shaw. president
of the National Suffrage association.
She started for Albion college, In Mich
igan, with just SIS in her pocket. She
had earned that SIS by teaching
school at 81 a week, and after she
had earned 1t she had to wait one
year for the dog tax to be collected
to get her pay.
DR.. Shaw was born in England, like
those other pioneers of the suffrage
movement, the Blackwells. But her
parents took her into Michigan 81
years ago, when she was eight, having
stopped four years in Massachusetts
on the way. They travelled days and
days in an old-fashioned prairie
schooner to reach their destination.
Then they lived in a log cabin. The
cabin was papered with spare copies
Of Horace Greeley's paper, and Anna
learned to read from the paper on the
walls, beginning with the big letters
In the advertisements and progressing
to the editorials.
Miss Shaw spent four years in col
lege and another four In the theolog-
ical and medical schools OF Boston
university. Her people were deeply
opposed to the whole plan and told
The Mobridge news. [volume] (Mobridge, Walworth Co., S.D.) 190?-1917, 1911-11-03

her they could do nothing whatever
to help her. During that eight years
she had only $91 that she did not
earn.
She lived In an attic without any
fire-in Boston winter. She studied
In bed to keep warm, her breath max
ing frosty clouds upon the air. She
had not food enough to satisfy hunger.
One day she was sitting on the
stairs. She had sat down because she
felt too weak to get to the top A
woman whom she knew slightly came
along and asked her why she was sit
ting on the stairs. When she found
out she went away and borrowed $91
from another woman and gave 1t to
Miss Shaw with the proviso that she
was never to know from whom It
came. That was the only help she
had through her course She repaid
the money after she was graduated
and never knew who lent It,
But about this time she acquired
the warm friendship of Mrs. Persis
Addy. widow. During the final year
Of her course Mrs. Addy took her into
her home, and though the student paid
the same board she had been paying.
she had for 1t the comforts of a good
home and the devoted care of Mrs.
Addy. Mrs. Addy had planned to 20
to Europe and take Miss Shaw with
her as soon as the latter sheuld have
finished her course. She died Just be-
fore commencement, but In her will
left Miss Shaw $500 for the specified
purpose OF taking a European trip.
When she was planning this Journey
Mrs. Addy's father said to her:
Now. you will spend that money
and 1t will be gone forever. Instead
OF cash, let me give you two bonds
worth $500 Then I will keep tho
bonds for security and lend you 81 500
on them. When you get to work vow
can repay me as convenient. and
when 1t Is all paid the bonds will be
yours again."
She did this. and having acquired q
certain sentiment about the matter.
has done the same ever since. She
has left the bonds ON deposit and let
the interest accumulate. and they
have paid the actual travelling ex.
penses OF her three trips to Europe.
Miss Shaw took the medical course
because during her theological course
she did missionary work In Boston
She found, to use her own words. that
she had nothing the people wanted"
They did not want either her theology
or her gospel. They wanted help In
their material lives. She took the med
ical course In order that she might
give them free medical treatment.
1t was as a missionary doctor and
preacher in the slums of Boston that
Miss Shaw became convinced that
there were certain defects In an all
male government which called for DO
litical power In the hands of women
She had always believed In woman
suffrage. Now she decided to worh

JACKSON SAYS GIANTS
Are POOR ON BASES

Speaking OF the Giants and Ath-
Ieties, Joe jackson, one OF the old
war horses of baseball says
"One OF the questions most de-
bated by those who try to dope out
worlds series possibilities Is the ex-
tent to which the Giants will con-
tinue their base running when they
meet the Athletics. There Is an In
teresung angle to the patchwork OF
this team, which has been brought
to view by claims of some National
Leaguers that New York's base run
ming ability is overrated. The scores
and averages. OF course. show that
they run more sacks than any other
club, But the contention Is that they
run the bases folishly at times, steal
ing third with two down. and making
all sorts of moves that are frowned
on by the orthodox. and not calcu-
lated in the ordinary course Of events
to gain anything In the way OF runs
II opponents do not follow the steals
with errors.
I'm this connection II Is noteworthy
that with all OF its stolen bases the
New York team has not scored near
ly as many runs as Pittsburg this
season. The Giants have stolen 326
bases. against 14l for Pittsburg, or
twice as many and then "a more.
But the Pirates have chased Is more
runners all the way around. This
would serve to back the assertions
made by those who refuse to give the
Giants all that Is claimed for their
base running. Tho contention IL thar
It Is waste OF effort and unproduc-
tive II so. 1t may not gain 80 much
in the October clashes. Mr. Thomas
Is a wise catcher who viii profit by
any false moves. And he will be
catching a couple OF crafty pitchers,
who Will let few men on. and who
will watch those who do get there. .
