FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
February 3LEhzabeth Blackwell.
By MARY MARSHALL

The first woman physician, the woman
who made II possible for other women to
enter the field Of medicine, was Elizabeth
blackwell, born ninety-hve years ago
today.
She was the third daughter of Samuel
Blackwell, a sugar refner. of Bristol,
England Her father emigrated from his
native town with seven children when
she was eleven years old, I'm 1882, and
settled IN New York City. There Eliza
beth grew up, and there she met many
of the people who Influenced her later
life, among them William Lloyd Garri-
son. anti-slavery advocate.
When she was seventeen the family
moved to Cincinnati, and shortly there
after her father died, leaving his chill
dren. nine by that time. unprovided for
Elizabeth and two OF her sisters started
a school, and through this became much
interested In womsn's education.
Miss Blackwell taught in several places
for good many years. In the meantime
she resolved to become a physician, and
for two years she studied medicine pri-
vately. Then she applied for admission
at the medical schools Of New York and
Phila delphia, but was refused. Finally
In 1SF. when she was twenty-six. she
was admitted to the medical school at
Geneva, n. Y. The entire class of mer
students, at the suggestion Of the fac
Ulty. expressed their willingness to have
her in their class, and they treated hel
quite fairly. Outside OF the school, how
ever, she was considered a freak. How
ever. IN 1S4S she received the first degree
Ct doctor o; medicine ever bestowed on
woman
From then on her life was devoted not
cnly to healing the sick, but to making
T. easier for women to gain medical edu-
caticn5- Her sister Emily was the sec
Ond woman physician, and the two sis
tsrs, with the third physician Of their
sex. Marie Zaclsryewska, founded a hos
pital and medical school for women in
New York City.
When the civil war came about Miss
Blackwell and the women with her did
much work in training nurses and in
organizing aid associations.
Miss Blackwell was an indefatlgabls
worker throughout her life. She lecturec
throughout this country and in Europe
she did much writing on her chosen
medical subjects, and she was an active
practitioner. She died in 1910 in her nine
tieth year.

SCHOOL DAYS.

When they came out and started
to climb after me ! would go high
er, until it was their turn to be ter
rihed lest i should fall. From my
perch, i noticed them whispering, and
at last they discovered the solution.
One of the boys dragged forth the
garden hose and l could see them at
taching it to the faucet. The water
was icy cold and felt like thousand
needles as it pelted against my arms
and legs.
"Will you come down now?" heard
voice calling to me above the splat-
ter and splash of the water.
"Yessum," / replied through chat
tering teeth.
Drenched like a little kitten, l
crawled down the tree, the volume of
water directed just above my head so
there would be no chance of my as
cending again. Once on terra frma,
l fled as fast as my legs could carry
me into the house.
These little memories are of what
| call my natural school days, for l
learned much then of the history of
green things, of birds and of flowers.
But still l envy the happy little
children who are fortunate enough to
be marching into the schoolhouse,
knowing that they arc laying the
foundation for busy, useful lives.

No indifference, no hostility abated
his zeal in these matters.
He could get nothing: the Repub-
licans held the balance of power in
the House of Representatives since
the election; policy stood still there.
But out of doors the rising passion of
parties took its natural course.
The autumn of 1859 brought a sin
lister thing to light which startled the
whole country, but the South most
deeply. with its disclosure of what
passion. though it were but individual
passion. might lead to.

emancipation on by force.
The attempt failed miserabIy. and
Brown was sent to the scafold; but
that was not the whole of the matter.
The striking character and self-for-
getful passion Of the man held the at
tention and moved the spirits Of every
one who looked upon the event to heed
1t.
He was a mad fanatic, but no COM
mon rascal and adventurer.
He had gone, four years before, out
of Connecticut, with his four sons, to
throw himself into the struggle
against slavery in Kansas. and had got

coat II you happen to have anything
at all that will match?"
Such shiftlessness! Where's your tail
or? Take ii up to the sewing room, the
proper place for such operations. You'll
find some one there"
So Horace went up stairs and along
a hall to a remote corner of the great
house, where he had a vague idea the
sewing room was. An open door through
which a light shone and the faint whir
of a machine were his guides. and he
soon found himself watching a girl,
her head and shoulders bent over the
machine. a dark island in billows upon
billows Of snowy white stuff.
I beg your pardon said Horace.
The whir stopped and the girl looked
around. 1t was Kathleen Lowell She
sprang up, instantly recognizing him.
Mr.. Davidson! How you startled me!
We are not used to men here. you see.
Won't you sit DOWN."
Thank you. Miss Lowell. We seem
destined to meet in white acres, although
must say this landscape is warmer
than the last one. To explain my err
rand this time. I was told to come here
to have a button sewed on. May I beg
the favor?" He held out the coat he
had been holding on his arm.
Kathleen flushed. Certainly. I'll do
it right away. Have you the button?'

there was in him the spirit as II of
a blind and maddened crusader: he
fought and did deep evil. not for him
selt, but for a cause; and men held
their breath at thought of him as II
a sudden sight of some fateful omen
To the eyes of the southern men his
image loomed big. as the very embodi-
meht or the party arrayed against
them and the institutions they lived
under.
Brown was found to have obtained
money and arms by subscription out
of the North.
They had been supplied him, Il turn
ed out for use in Kansas. not for use
at Harper's Ferry; but the southerners
made no discrimination In that mat
ter.
In either case. It was aid given to
man who was expected to fight
slavery at any cost, and without reckon
ing OF law or consequences.
They would not now distinguish be-
tween that and the objects of the
Republican party itself.
They coupled this fatal raid with
the systematic and successful attempts
of the northern States to nullify the
Fugitive Slave Law.
Runaway slaves seized under that
law had again and again been rescued
by force, and the rescuers had es-
capped punishment by the action of
friendly turies and the systematic ap-
plIcation of the writ of habeas corpus.
Every possible obstacle had been
put in the way of the operation of
the law by state statute-lawyers had
been disbarred for acting for those
who claimed the runaways, the use
of state prisons had been denied. and
state officers had been heavily fined
for participating in the execution of
the federal enactment
