should be allowed a tolcmbly free hand i

Her Eyes Shine Like a Cat's. i
The most peculiarly afflicted personl
in the World perhaps is Mrs. lssdorce
Bonn. who lives in the suburbs of Par- 9
in. In August, “3'92. she was all buti
killed by a flash of lightning. whichi
knocked her senseless. destroying her
eyesight and homing on her hair and
one ear. Although subjected to such a
terrific shock and to injuries which all
the local physicians pronounced fatnl._
she recovered in a short while and was ;
soon able to wulk about. The lnceroted .
ear healed readily, and the scalp was,
soon covered with a new coat of bolts.
but the eyesight, to all intents and pnr- :
peace. is gone forever. Strange us it
may seem. there are brief intervals;
when she can see as plainly us she ever ;
could in her life. but this short respite
from weeks and months of total dark-i
ness is only during the progress of terrific I
thunderstorms.

blrthplnoc of Clara Barton, while at every
turn one is confronted with objects estu-
ncctud with her life, for she left her stamp
so indelibly upon this little community
before she went out into the world, cm
60 years ago. tlmt tho townsfolk are still
talking about her, not as the head of the
lied Cross nor yet int the army nurse
known among the soldlcrw' homes through-
out this loud, but as the village school-
teacher, the la idlng spirit in local eflnlra.
On an elcvatlon those stands the house
in which Clara Barton was born. ltlaa
low. rambling frntnc house. built in laid
by her father, six years heft her birth.
Though he moved away anti sold it suits
after (.‘inrn. his fourth child. was born, is
has been in grind bands ever since and is
one of the best preserves! old houses in the
county.
A mile to the eastward, over the hills
which Clara Barton. as a girl, wnlked to
and from school. acrou the river and down
the single street of thotlllngc, past the
old mills, is tho old Barton homutcad.
where she peansal much of her early life.
it is a venerable two story house, which
was one of the first buildings erected by
‘ the Huguenot settlers In Hill. This house
is now the oldest building in the town. It
passed out of the Barton ownershl to
years ago. but. it is still inhabited an in
a fair state of repair.
Perhaps even more interesting than
these early homes of Clara Barton are two
other buildings. the old cotton mill where
she worked as spooier tender and the dis,-
trict schoolhouse in which she taught.
’l‘his latter building is so rejuvenated by u
coat of fresh green point its to appear like
is new building on the outside. The inte-
rior is changed. too. by a division into sov-
‘ and rooms. wlicrc it was once one large
npnrtnicnt. The old cotton mill, too. has
been changed on the inside, having been
converted into a woolen factory, but the
weather vvoru brown exterior shows every
your of its more than 'hnlf antury of ca-
istcnce. The fact that the bright eyed.
sprightly and gracious Clnrn Barton of do
ducts worked here is known only to the
older inhabitants. Her duties thorn were
totcndthu macblncethnt wound thuspools
of cotton thread. This will work. how-
ever. wns not to bovomparcd with the Inc-
tory drudgery of today. There was no
forolgn clctnont omploycd in the mills then
and some of the best girls in the town
worked in thorn. MISS Burton Worked as
spooling girl less than aycur altogether,
stud this was done mostly in vacations bo-
twocn her terms of scliooltoncbing.
The person who knows Miss Barton host.
in it local way is her consln, Miss Martins
