No man ever helped himself by
knocking other people down. No
man ever got rich trying to make
people believe that he was the
only good man on earth. You can't
climb the ladder of fame by stepping
on other people's corns. They are
their corns, not yours, and they are
tender. "You're not the only slii.t in

walk right in and make yourself lo.ik

There is no end of fun in minding

other people stuck on you than to get

CLARA BARTON.
Story of Her Herois n en the
Battlefield of Fredrlcksturg.
At Fredericksburg Miss Barton
took up her quarters in front of the
Lucy House, within close range of the
Confederate sharp-shooter. As fast
us the poor fellows were shot down
she took charge of them, providing
them with every attention. When
the Massachusetts and Michigan regi
ments crossed on the twelfth and took
possession of the town it was evident
that a big battle was imminent, and
Miss Barton went over into the city
and organized, the hospital corps and
established diet kitchens. On the eve
of her departure an incident occurred
which demonstrates the unfaltering
courage of the woman. A young
wounded Confederate officer informed
her that his people had prepared a
death-trap for the army across the
river.
That he spoke the tuith was believ
ed by Miss Barton then, and was later
continued by (Jem ral Jackson's order
to General Stuart. But she went, and
during theawful day of the thirteenth
w hen the thunder of the artillery and
the crash ot musketry were roaring a

ing mowed down and regiments deci

hedges were filled up with the duail
and dying; when th,e furrows Thh
ran blood, and a ghastly stream
of mangied humanity was pouring to
the rear, she. moved amidst it as calm
as a force of nature, always knowing
what to do and doing the proper
thing at the right time, liven the
terrors of that horrible night diil not
weaken her dauntless courage. She
met every emergency with admirable
promptitude. Toward midnigth when
