When they spoke to me asked for the tall who had
lifted up from the street at the doorstep and in little
while he came in and smiled gently, and knew that

famous missionary physician who known for his kind
nesses to my people throughout the Turkish empire He
had been compelled leave Consantinope when the
came but he had into Erzerum with the Russians
to be among the first to give to my people. The
house was the American Mission. The missionaries had
been forced ee but they returned with the Russians
and had promptly raised the American flag.
Dr. McCalum, who now is in New York and was
the first good friend found after my arrival in this
country bought thousands of Armenian girls out Of
slavery in those days when the Russians pushing
into Turkey from the Caucasus With money supplied
by the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief he purchased these girls from their Turkish cap
tors for 81 apiece. The Turks, knowing the Russians
would Hberate these captive Christian girls glad to
sell them this price rather than risk getting
the one dollar for them.
General Andranik, the great Armenian leader who is
our national hero For many years Gen.
eral Andranik kept alive the courage Of all Armenans
He promised them freedom and constantly endangered
his life to keep up spirits. The Turks put price
upon his head and he hunted from end Of the
empire to the other-yet he always escaped He led the
Armenian regiments made up of Armenians who lived in
Russia in the vanguard of the Russian army against
the Turks.
When told General Andranik how had seen my own
dear people killed he felt very sorry for He

riches in the world.

officer who had talked with first repeated to the other

looking officer then spoke to first in Russian and then
in French. which understood
You have been a very unhappy girl" he said in
French, "and very happy to have arrived with my
splendid troops in time to you. We shall take good
of you and all Russians will be your friends

HOW THE SALMON TRAVELS
Observer Tells of Fish's Action When
it Starts to Ascend a
Waterfall.

Scientists as well as laymen tell ex-
t%raordinary stories of the wonderful
leaps whereby salmon ascend water
falls. One investigator, who has stud-
led the salmon of southeastern Alaska,
asserts that these fish do not select
n particular point of attack in en-
deayoring to surmount a fall.
They show a remarkable lack of ac-
curacy as well as of definiteness, in
their movements. When trying to
ascend a fall they sail through the
air, with the body rigid and the fins
spread and held tense, and at the in
slant when the momentum Of the jump
is lost they impart a rapid and power
full vibration of the tail. This oc-
ours whether the jump is successful or
not.
Should the fish reach water at the
top of the fall this motion insures the
maintenance of its position. In open
water they jump sidewise instead OF
lengthwise, and there is no movement
of the tail.

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
in hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got a chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach is a starter of
untold misery for its owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-stomach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
b%elching, food repeating-it is the dam
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about it in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. 1t is a commonsense
way. No starvation plan Of diet is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get a good appetite in
hot weather and enjoy the things you
like without misery to follow.

COLONEL HALPINEss POEM.
Read AT The Founding OF The
Gettysburg Monument.

Read AT The Founding OF The
Gettysburg Monument.
As men beneath some pang Of
grief,
or sudden JOY viii dumbly stand,
Finding no words to give relief
Clear, passion warm, complete,
and brief
To thoughts with which theirsouls
expand,
So here today those trophies nigh,
No fitting words our lips can
reach;
The hills around, the graves, the
sky,
The silent poem Of the eye,
Surpasses all the art Of speech
Today a nation meets to build
A nations trophy to the dead,
Who, living, formed her sword
and shield,
The arms she sadly learned to
WELD,
When other hope Of peace had
fled;
And not alone for those vino lie
In honored graves before us blest,
Shall our proud column broad and
high,
Climb upward to the blessing sky
But be for all a monument.
48&@H
An emblem Of our grief as well
For others, as for these, we raise;
For these beneath our feet who
dwell,
And all who in the good cause fell,
On other fields in other trays.
To all the self same love we bear
Which here for marbled memory
strives;
No soldier for a wreath would
care,
Which all true comrades might
not SHARE
Brothers in death as in their lives.
On southern hill sides, parched
and brown,
In tangled swanps, Oh ver3ant
ridge,
Where pines and broadening oaks
look down
And jasmine waves its yellow
crown,
And trumpet creepers clotlle the
hedge,
Along the shores of endless sand,
Beneath the palms of southern
plains,
Sleep everywhere, hand locked IN
handA
The brothers Of the gallant band
Who here poured life through
throbhing veins.
Around the closing eyes of all,
The same red glories glared and
flew;
The hurrying flags, the bugle call,
The whistle of the angry ball,
The elbow touch Of comrade true,
The skirmish fire, q scattering
spray,
The long sharp growl of fire by
file,
The thick ming fury of the fray
When opening batteries get in
play,
And the line form Der many a
mile.
The foeman's yell, our answering
cheer,
Red flashes through the gathering
smoke,
Swift orders. resonant and clear,
BIithe cries from comrades, tried
and dear.

Where cyclones orialnate.

The most violent cyclones originate
in tropical latitudes, in the Atlantic
ocean to the north and east of West
Indian islands, and in the Pacific, in
the China sea and in the neighbOrhOOd
of the Philippine islands.
The reason they are so destructive
is because they are carried such great
distances by extraneOus influences. The
West Indian cyclones are attracted
toward the Gulf stream by the great
volume of heated air which always
hangs over it and follows its course !;
so the cyclones of the Pacific follow
the course of KurO SiwO, the great
oceanic current which passes around
the East Indian archipelago, the shores
of China and the Japanese islands.
Cyclones may be anywhere from so
to 500 miles in diameter and may
travel over a path 5000 miles in ex-

Ing to see how much light had been

which would you rather have, one ap-
pie or two halves?"
The little chap promptly replied,
'TwO halves"
"Oh, Bobbie," exclaimed the young
woman, little disappOintedly, "why
would you prefer two halves?"
Because then I could see if it was
wormy."
