The half of the hulk of the Polly Ann

feelings of mingled pity and friendship-.for

my vi ,ttar-away home and the dear ones, there.
Ever since the wreck the weather had
been perfect-such charming days and nights
as can be found only in the Bahamas follow
ing each other uninterruptedly until, as
Christmas approached, l conceived the idea
that 1t would be nice to have our holiday
scheme all acquiesced, thinking it would be
novel and delightful.
But the twenty-thrd of December ushered
in in a gale that swept with great fury along

huge rollers from the broad Atlantic came

rampant of coral reefs outside, which broke
very land itself.
For twenty-four hours the elements held
high carnival, and then, on Christmas Eve,
there came q great lull, and the fierce storm,
denly as it had arisen, giving us hope that
our original plan might yet be carried out.
I'VE were up early on Christmas morning,
and looking seaward were astonished beyond
measure at what we saw.
"The hulk of the Polly Ann had been
loosened from the catch of the coral reef and
carried bodily over the ledge by the great
waves-had been hurled upon the low inside
beach, a huge broken mass, with its stern
buried deep in the wet sand. its heavy tim
bers splintered to pieces and its rusty iron
bolts twisted like corkscrews.

near the nose Of the Polly Ann, some cir,

discovered were nothing of the kind,
nearly. two inches broad, perfectly fiat and
smooth, the edge worn almost sharp. with
some inscription on one side and figures on
the other, which we could scarcely trace, SO
black and discolored was the entire surface.

bed the piece briskly over it, until presently
the tarnish began to come off, and shouted
to Bethel that it was a piece of silver

"And then he danced around like mad for

"Next we fell to work picking up all we
could find till both our hats were nearly full

TROOPS TO TRAVEL

Kitchen Tourists" Will Be Used in
Moving Any Large Num-

Henceforth parties of recruits for
Uncle Sans army viii ride in private
Pullman cars. when It is found neces-
sary to transport them from place to
place. Through the recommendation Of
Quartermaster General Aleshire, and on
the Endorsement OF the other officials
whom II was necessary 10 consult, the
Secretary of War has authorized the
use of Pullman kitchen tourist cars
in the transportation OF troops and re
cTuits.
These kitchen cars are especially de-
signed by the Pullman company for
army use. A kitchen tourist car is an
ordinary tourist car, with two sections

SEEKS A DIRECTOR
FOR HEALTH BUREAU
President Will Make Selec-
ton If Congress Approves
His Plan.

With the announcement from the Pres
ident that he would recommend in his
next message that all of the various bu-
raaus and divisions of the Government
now doing public health work be placed
under one general head, there is con-
siderable speculation as to who will be
placed in charge Of such an important
department
Although the President has said that
the new department Will not create an
other Cabinet position. the general
hold a position not unlike that of q
Cabinet officer in many respects. The
two bureaus mainly affected are the
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service and the Pure Food Bureau, the
former now in charge Of Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman. and the latter of Dr.
Harvey ". Wiley.
If the Presidents plan goes through,
It is probable that both of these Of
hcials may continue to exercise their
quite different functions, but it is also
possible that one Of the two many be
named as the supreme head of the
General Health Department.
The selection Will be made by the
President. provided Congress author
tees the merger. Prof. Irving Fisher. of
Yale, representing the COmmitte Of One
Hundred on Public Health. said that a
canvass Of the members Of the House,
both new and old, showed a large ma
jority TO be in favor of the change.

Of the decision Of the commission in the

THE MAN IN THE RAIN.
His Manner of Managing Apparel As
Compared With Woman's.

You would think, now, wouldn't
YOU" she said, to a New York Sun re-
porter, that lordly man would defy
the weather and not permit himself to
be disturbed by such a little thing as
rain? But my I think men are more
particular about their fine clothes than
women are.
Take a man who is out, for in
stance, in a light gray suit and let a
shower come up. Does the man in gray
go bithely on and let the rain fall upon
him as it will? Very much not, sir!
He seeks the nearest shelter and there
he waits for the rain entirely to cease
before he ventures on; more careful of
his raiment, surely, than any woman
would be of hers.
But it is what man does with his
straw hat in the rain that interests me
most. Why, have seen a man take
off his straw hat in the shower and car
ry it under his coat, so careful Isl he
about it, and isn't a man going along
the street hatless, with his hat clutched
in that way under his coat, funny
figure? Did you ever see woman do
that?
ITS a common thing to see man
caught in a shower carrying his straw
hat sort of casually down at his arms
length at his side, as if he was just
sauntering that way, but really to pro-
tect his hat so much as he can. And
do we not even see men in the rain
holding newspapers over their hats?
Who ever saw a woman do that?
Women seem somehow to be able to
go through a shower without making
conspicuous figures Of themselves. They
are always serene, never troubled. and
somehow they never seem to get as wet
in the rain as men do"
