SUSAN B.’S FIRST SPEECH
It Constated Only of Three Senteneea*
Bat It Went to the Point.
It is forty years since Miss
Anthony first lifted her voice in pub
lio. She spoke exactly three sen
tences on that occasion, but they
cost her an effort almost greater
than the commotion her act excited.
It was at the New York state teach
ers’ convention, in the city of
Rochester, says the New York Sun,
and Miss Anthony was in attendance
for the first time in her life. There
were about a thousand women
teachers there and about two hun
dred men. But the men were cer
tainly a glorious minority. They
gave the reports, made all sugges
tions, nominated committees—of
themselveh—and, in short, they were
the convention. Not one of the
women had ever raised her feeble
voice in approval or protest At this
meeting several of the men loudly
bewailed the faot that society did not
respect teachers as it respected
lawyers, doctors and ministers. They
said that they were called Miss
Nanoys and old grandmothers, which
terms they did not seem to oonsider
respectful They declared that the
vocation of a teacher was superior in
importance to that of a lawyer or a
doctor. Yea! even of a minister.
At this point of the discussion a
strange and awful thing occurred.
A woman rose and said: "Mr. Presi
dent. ” That woman was young Miss
Anthony. This is the way she tells
of what happened:
“When the president stepped to the
front of the platform he said: -What
will the lady haveP’ just as if some
one had fainted or something had
happened. The thought never
entered the man’s head, never even
cracked the shell, that one of one
thousand women should speak when
there two hundred men there for
tnat purpose.
“ ‘Mr. President,' I said, ‘I would
like to speak on the subject under
discussion.1
“What do you think he saidP He
looked down at the handful of men,
who, of oourse, had the good seats
in front, and inquired solemnly what
was the pleasure of the convention!
Then some gentleman arose and made
the motion that the lady be allowed
—allowed mind you—to speak. For
half an hour they discussed that
motion. Finally, by a small majority,
I was permitted to say what I had on
my mind. All this time I had stood
there determined to keep the floor at
any cost There was a big lump in
my throat, but I choked it down.
“ ‘Mr. President and gentlemen,' I
said as bravely as I could, •! have
listened to your discussion with a
good deal of interest, but it seems to
me that none of you quite compre
hend the cause of the disrespect you
complain of. Do you not see that
while woman has not brains enough
to be a minister, a doctor or a lawyer,
but has ample brains to be a teacher,
every man of you distinctly acknow
ledges that he has not any more brains
than a woman P’
“When I sat down three men
walked the length of the hall, shook
hands with me and thanked me_I
hardly know why. The newspaper
accounts the next day said that I
made the men very angry, but that I
hit the nail on the head. But it did
some good, anyway. After my
plunge women were allowed to read
papers, were placed on committees
and took an active part in the con
ventions. I, myself, was asked to
read a paper—which by the way, I
got my friend, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, to write for me—and, in a
voice somewhat the worse for having
my heart in my throat, I read it be
fore the convention. Of course the
paper was good—Mrs. Stanton wrote
it—but this was the cheerful way in
which Father Hazleton complimented
me on it:
“ ‘In matter and manner I would
not have asked that your address
should be different, but, madam, T
would rather have followed my wife
and daughter to Greenwood ceme
tery than have had them stand be
fore this audience and read that ad
dress.’
•‘Now, wasn’t that nice of him?”'
says Miss Anthony quizzically, and
then murmurs reflectively, “the
world do move”
i/oncrkaiotea Himself.
“Doctor,” said the solicitor. "I
wish you would do some advertising
with our paper.”
“Couldn’t think of it, sir. The
idea is preposterous. It’s against
the ethios of our profession. By the
way, here is an item about a man I
attended this morning. Take it
down to the office, will you? And
be sure to see that my name is
mentioned.”

-A STORY OP THB BVBRQLADB8,
Recalled by th* Trustor or Billy Bowlaga’
I>aat Bvfnys to Private Own arm*
Up /to a few years ago, says the
Atlanta Journal, all that was known
of that vast inland sea on the south*
ern forder of Georgia called the
Okefcnokee swamp was that It, had
once been the stronghold of “Billy
Bowlegs. ” Even those who had heard
the euphonious name often enough to
form some Idea as to the topography
of the swamp received an entirely
erroneous impression of its character.
They regarded it as a mere waste of
malarial waters, like the everglades
of Florida or the Dismal swamp of
Virginia Within the last two years,
however, the invasion of capital
into the recesses of Its cypress and
magnolia groves has revealed a wealth
of natural resources unsurpassed, and
shown that instead of being an im
penetrable swamp, the Okefenokoe
is a great inland sea of very much the
same type in the quality of its water
as Lake Superior.
Away back in the early days of the
century, just prior to the Seminole
war, General Clinoh of Georgia
marched into Florida and penetrated
the everglades with a regiment of
soldiers, his purpose being to induce
the Seminole chiefs to sign a treaty
relinquishing their possessions to
the government He pitohed his
tent in the heart of a swamp, and in
vited the Indian chieftains to a con
ference at which they were to sign
the papers ceding the land to the
United States. The chief of the Sem
inoles at that time was a half-breed
named smith—a man ol strikingly
handsome appearance, over six feet
in height, and as straight as an ar
row. This leader, together with two
of his sub-chiefs, was standing in
General Clinch’s tent listening to the
reading of the deed which took away
their lands. At the conclusion of,
the reading the two sub-chiefs, who
could neither read nor write, made
their marks. Turning to Smith, who
stood in contemplative mood, gazing
with fixed eyes upon the papers be
fore them, General Clinch asked:
“You can write your name,Smith P”
“Yes,” he replied qulolSy, “but
this is one time when I intend to
make my mark. ”
Quick as thought the* powerful
half-breed whipped out a long, keen
knife, and, lightning-like, burled it
to the hilt in the heart of one of the
subehiefs, then in that of the other,
and finally in the breast of the gov
ernment agent, killing the three al
most instantly.
The soldiers about General Cllnoh
flew to arms, and were in the act of
making Smith their prisoner when
he calmly called to them to look out
side the tent. Doing so, they found
the camp completely surrounded by
a band of at least 3,000 Indian braves
ready to obey their chief’s command.
Smith did not order the massacre of
the company, but without as muoh as
harming a hair of the bead of Gen
eral Cllnoh or any of his soldiers,
marched them to the edge of the
swamp, and in parting said:
“Now, General Clinch, you and
your soldiers may go, but I warn
you that if ever a white man plaoes
his foot upon our lands again he had
better beware of the Seminoles.”
As General Clinch marched his
men away the Indian braves enthu
siastically crowded about their great
chief and raising him high upon their
shoulders cried out in a mighty
chorus: “Osceola! Osceola!” whioh
means “the rising sun.” This was
the beginning of the Semiilole war,
and it was in this way that the half
breed chieftain received the name
by which he is known to history.
The end of his oareer is familiar to
all. The manner in which he was
enticed to Washington, where he at
tracted much attention and was the
“observod of all observers,” under
cover of a flag of truce, and his con
finement until his death in Fort
Moultrie, at Charleston, are well re
membered.
Smith’s successor in command of
the Seminoles was Billy Bowlegs, a
ohief of diminutive stature but un
daunted courage. During the war
whioh followed Billy found refuge in
Okefenokee swamp, and one of the
principal islands of this inland sea
now bears his name.
Okefenokee swamp was, until 1890,
the property of the state of Georgia.
An act of the legislature, approved
in October, 1889, provided for the
sale of the swamp to the highest
bidder, the minimum price being
fixed at 12} oents an aore. When
the bids were opened by Governor
Gerdon March 18, 1890. that offering
26} cents per acre was accepted.
A Might S'avor.
A criminal whose day of execution
had arrived was asked by his jailer
if he had any favor to ask. “I have,
sir,” said the condemned man, “and
it is a very slight favor indeed.”
“Well It it is really a slight favor I
pan grant it. What is it?” "I hanker
for a few peaches to eat” “Peachesl”
exclaimed the jailer. “Why, they
won’t be ripe for several months
yet” “Well,” said the condemned
man, < ‘that doesn’t matter—I’ll wait ”
