period of three enlistments as an
army nurse during the civil war.
Her great-grandfathe> Robert jack

Carolina troops in the Revolutionary
war. In one of the numerous en-
gagements with the British and Tories
in that state, his right hand was
shot off. In this condition he drove
an OK team hauling a wagonload of
wounded patriots from the scene OF
battle. He was cousin of President
Andrew Jackson and lived in the
Forks Of the Youghiegheny, where

Mrs. Gray was born in Green coun-

the scenes of his early career on the

the Far East. 1t is Congress of Ma
tions" in which is presented sharp
contrasts in the characters of tho peo-
pie, and the costumes prevailing in
the different zones.
There are varied exhibitions of
craftsmanship where the dusky
skinned Arabs vie with the American
cowboy in displays of equestrianism.
The camp life of the American Indian
is shown in contrast to the domiciles
of the desert born and nomadic Be-
douin Russian cossacks, the repre-
sentatives of the Cars cavalry, dis
play their saddle experiences in con-
trast to the horsemanship of Uncle
Sans soldiers. The slow but sure
camel and the numbering elephant are
compared with the agile and bucking
bronco, the Looping buffalo and the
prancing steed of the exhibition arena.
The splendors of the Orient are pre-.
sented in contrast with the aboriginal
features and finery of the American
Indians. There are to be seen cleverly
trained horses, dancing girls of vari-
Gus nations, the acrobats of Japan
and other countries. All in all, the
show is the most complete combina-
ton of out-of.door exhibitions ever
presented. 1t opens with grand re-

theatre, which had been transformed
into hospital. Major Russell was in
charge. The ampitheatre had si4
wards. Each ward had four men

wards were divided into four divisions

care of seventy-five patients from
six to six. In those wards, we women
had all the medicine to give, look af-

the kitchen, but sent the orders and
the food came up in the elevator. We
wrote letters for those soldiers who
were unable to write, read to them
books, papers and magazines, bathed
their heads and their feet If it were
necessary, fixed their lemonade, egg

ordered to be done. What did the men

A pony express rider demonstrates
how messages and kilograms Of the

at various intervals, without losing

perform some wonderful feats with
the lasso. This is followed by an ex
