HONORED BY TURKS
American Missionary Is Given the
Order of Red Crescent.
and Sick Wins Recognition
From Officials.

The Turks at Sivas have honored
Miss Mary Louise Graffam, an Ameri-
can missionary, by presenting her with
the order Of the Red Crescent for her
devotion to the care of the wounded
and sick.
The Red Crescent is a Turkish or
ganization corresponding to the Red
Cross.
When the war broke out Miss Graf
fam was at the head of the American
boards system of schools for girls in
Sivas and its outstations. Early in
that first terrible winter Erzerum, 200
miles away and near the battle line,
became one fever camp from typhus.
The Sivas missionaries offered to send
group of helpers, including doctors,
pharmacists, nurses, ETC., to the Red
Cross of Erzerum. Miss Graffam was
member of the party. The journey
in midWinter over the mountains, in
cold and storm, took three weeks.
The day after they got there, Mrs.
| Sewny, an American nurse learned
that her husband, a physician, lay
| dying of typhus in a village at the
| front. Miss Graffam went with her
through deep snow, fording unknown
! rivers at night and within sound of
cannon most of the way. The doctor
died and it took the women two days
| to get back to Erzerum.
The need was SO great that Miss
Graffam, though with slight knowl-
edge of Turkish and an acquaintance
with hospital work gained only from
casual observation, was put in charge
of hospital for Turkish officers. Here
for four months she filed difficult po-
sition successfully.
In the spring, while on the return
journey to Sivas, Miss Graffam's COM
panion, a Swiss nurse, died at Srzin-
gan of malignant typhus. The plucky
American had to go on alone. The
inns were full of typhus, the roads
lined with bodies of dead and dying
people and horses. Knowing that NO
absolutely necessary, she wrote Sivas
that if she became ill Of the fever she
would be conscious for two days and
would wire for help. Then she trav
eled on alone, until, within four days
journey of Sivas, some teachers me-
her and brought her in safely.
Then came the deportatfons. Al
the teachers and pupils of Miss Graf
fans high school, with their relatives
were ordered south. Miss Graffam
after much urging of the vail, ,securet
permission to start with them. Sh'
took medicine, food and money anC
was able to be of great help until aftel
five days she was forbidden to g
farther.
| When the other American mission
aries left Sivas Miss Graffam and Mis-
Fowle, who has since died of .typhus
were allowed to remain and given tn
use of two rooms in one of the mission
buildings. They did what relief worl
was permitted and organized indus
,, trial work among the refugees. Sine
Miss Fowle's death Miss GRAHAM ha
remained alone, carrying on her wor
with unfailing devotion.

Svmusthetic Jury.

''In Denver" says a member of the
bar, ga large, fat man was suing a lit
tie, skeleton-like individual who had a
bad hacking cough.
"The case had been given to the
Jury, which had been out half an hour.
On the evidence and the instructions
the big man had won the case. The
jury was called and filed out into the
courtroom.
"'Have you reached a verdict?
asked the judge.
"'No, Your honor said the, fore
man. we only want to know which
is the defendant and which is the

""The large man sitting over there
is the plaintiff, and the small man
here is the defendant replied the
judge.

room. In few minutes they signaled
that they had reached verdict. The
judge received it and read:

SUMMER GARDEN HELPS

Make a succession of paintings of
sweet corn and snap beans up to the
middle or last of July. These viii
give you good vegetables for late use.
Transplanting celery three or four
times develops a stronger root system
for the plants, and the plants will
grow better when set in the perma-
nent row.
If the garden is stirred frequently
during the summer with a fine-toothed
horse cultivator the soil will retain
moisture and 1t will never become
hard and cloddy.
When cantaloupe vines are about
two feet long pick off the ends of the
vines. This will induce free branch
ing and heavier and better fruiting.

SOME TIMELY HINTS
sy L. M. BENNINGTON.

Prune Towering shrubs as soon as
they have finished towering. The
secret of pruning shrubbery, in a nut
shell, is to study the habit and growth
OF each plant, and to strive to encour-
age It; not alter 1t to your views.
Make a note Of the yellow spots on
the lawn. If the grass is scanty the
trouble is possibly sand or poor soil.
The best cure is to dig out the place
and put In some good loan.
Then resod the place. If the grass
Is there, but dead, the trouble is lack
of moisture.
II the grass on the lawn is growing
fast two mowings a week, allowing the
clippings to lie where they fall, are
easier than one moving in ten days
or two weeAs, followed by q raking to
remove the cut grass.
To insure thick privet hedge, cut
back three inches every time the
plants make six inches Of growth.
Evergreens from the nursery can be
safely transplanted by the end of July.
1T is important to keep, the roots moist
with as much soil adhering as possible.
Pinch off the seed-pods from azaleas
and rhododendrons to insure good
flower buds for next year.
Give japanese iris plenty Of water to
insure good blooms.
As fast as flowers fade on herbace-
ous plants, remove them. BY not al
lowing seeds to form the Towering sea-
son will be considerably heightened.
The larkspur, if treated in this man
Iner, will produce spikes almost as
good as those of the first crop, in late
fall when there are few flowers in the
garden.
Geranium cuttings made early in
July will make good winter-fowering
plants. During the latter part of the
month SOW seeds in cold frames OF
English daisies, pansies, foxgloves
Canterbury bells. larkspur, ETC., for
next years Towering.
Fill up the gaps left by the poppies
by transplanting on the cleared ground
such ANIMALS as China asters or portu
1acca.
Plant a few pots Of oxalis anC
freesias for early flowers next year.
When watering, do it thoroughly.

Worth the Price,

No man suffers in vain, if the events
of life slowly conduct him to the dis
coyery in himself of the real and price
less treasure of courage. 1t may even
appear, in the long run, that the dis
covery was worth all the price OF an
guish paid for it, since from it, he
draws the weapons for a more endur-
ing victory. For the supreme need OF
life is courage. Courage, in some form
we must have, if we are not to fall
trampled beneath the feet of circum-
stance. 1t is the coward alone for
whom defeat is final. For the cour-
ageous man, however, defeated, there
Is always future.-Exchange.

The BUSY Bee.

The bee is pointed out as paragon
cf patient industry. Few people, how
ever, realize the infinitude of energy
that must be put forth by swarm of
bees in order to store their hive with
honey. How much do you suppose it
takes to make, for example, pound of
clover honey? The scientists calculate
that it requires the nectar from no
fewer than 62O00 clover blossoms. To
extract this nectar requires 2,750,O00

SWEET SULTAN.

The peculiarly sweet, spicy smell of
sweet sultan has always endeared this

At Beauvais cathedral there is a

planting out, when little well-slaked
powdered lime may be put on as a
surface dressing and forked in before
the seedlings are introduced.
Centaureas are hardy, but as rule
they come up somewhat irregularly
if sown in the open, and therefore it
is best to sow very thinly in pots or
boxes, and prick the seedlings out,
disturbing them at the root as little
as possible in the process.
