WASHINGTON, August 1S.-The

League in matter affecting the gen
eral public health has attracted at
tention to this somewhat unique organ
ization. The League is the progeny
of the Committee of One Hundred"

ment of science and which was charged
with the investigation of public health
conditions and the recommendation
of legislation in that connection. The

Hundred is DR.. Irving Fisher, Of Yale,
and among it's vice presidents are Rev.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, Miss Jane Adams,
Felix Adler, Prof. James 3. Angel, Of
Ann Arbor; Hon. Joseph II. Choate,
DR.. Charles w. Elliot, eX-President OF
Harvard Archbishop Ireland, eX-
President Roosevelt, and others. The
list of its membership reads like roll
call of the most distinguished men Of
the country who are interested in
civic advancement.
This committee formed the American
Health League to include ia its mem
bership all persons who seek to ele-
vate the condition of the public Eealth,
it being understood that it was to be
an organization of laymen as diatin-
guished from those of physicians or
scientists, or of parties who might
have a commercial interest in PROPOSE
tons affecting the general health.
For the benefit of its mombers the
American Health League issues pc
riodical called american Health,
and also bulletins from time to time
The League has several state branch

NOVEL BOAT COMING.
Cincinnati Craft Provided With Engine
Windmill.

CINCINNATI, August 1S.-Accom-
panied by his wife and family. c. W.
Gest. living in Norwood Cincinnati
will take a summer vacation Ct one
month and travel to aud from New
Orleans in a comfortable l-.le vessel
he has built. He plans 10 travel tt
New Orleans in twelve days and to re-
turn in fourteen. His vessel has been
named The Vacatiouist." Unlike any
others seen in or about Cincinnati for
many years, it is made to travel un-
der all conditions. 1t has a ten-horse
power engine and can be operated in
MINDLESS weather in this manner. 1t
has a powerful windmill, which will
operate it in case the engine breaks
down. If Mr.. Gest is in any way d.
layed, he says he, can almost double
the crafts speed by using both the
windmill and the engine. Added TO
this is the fact that the vessel is so
narrow and needs so little water that
it can be run in almost any stream in
which a skiff can be used.
The boat is thirty-five feet long ard
has three compartments, the livms
room, dining room and one for the
engine and windmill mechanism.
Mr.. Gest will leave here in few
days, and has to be back in one
month He will take with him on the
trip his wife and two sons, both Of
whom are part owners and part build
ers of the "Vacationisht."

Draughn said:

eral months travel over Western Texas
and Old Mexico, I visited a number Of
ranches while out there. The bowling
of coyotes, which I could often hear
sounded very different from the owl
and whippoorwill with which we are
so well acquainted. I could often see
large droves of deer roaming over the
plains and many other sights with
which was not familiar.
"While in Mexico 1 attended the
largest bull fight sever known, over

the sight which was certainly cruel

A SUDDEN SHOWER.

A SUDDEN SHOWER.
Barefooted bays scud up the street,
Or skurry under sheltering sheds;
And schoolgirl faces pale and sweet,
Clean from the shawls about their
heads.
Doors bang; and mother voices call
From alien homes; and rusty gates
Are slammed; and high above it all
The thunder grim reverbrates.
And then abrupt, the rain! the rain!
The earth lies gasping; and the eyes
Behind the streaming window panes
Smile at the trouble Of the skies.
The highway smokes, sharp echoes
ring;
The cattle bawl and cow-bells clank;
And into town comes galloping
The farmers horse with steaming
flank.
The swallow dips beneath the caves,
And flirts his plumes and folds his
wings;
And under the catawba leaves
The caterpillar curls and clings.
The bumblebee is pelted down
The wet stem of the hollyhock;
And sullenly in spattered brown
The cricket leaps the garden walk,
Within, the baby claps his hands
And crows with rapture strange and
vague;
Without, beneath the rose bush stands
A dripping rooster on one leg.

kissing is less dangerous than the
girls father
Love that feeds on beauty soon dies
of starvation.
For ages women have been trying
to conceal theirs.
A woman is known by the company
she isn't at home to.
Feminine beauty is poor substitute
for a square meal.
Beware Of the spinster who asks you
for a match during leap year.
No matter how beautiful a mans
wife is. he never wishes she was two
faced
A girl seldom maps out a career
until after she has been disappointed
In love
And many man is unable to keep
change in his pockets because of his
wife's small hand.
Often a girl who will let a young
man kiss her doesn't want to let him
know that she will let him.
The sweetest music to the average
woman's ear is that produced by the
sound waves OF her own voice.
After woman has been married a
few days she begins to think how
much better she could have done.
Sometimes It makes a girl blush to
think how a certain young man might
have kissed her, but didn't.
When an heiress marries a title she
probably thinks she may be able to
live happily ever after she is divorced.
Sometimes man can tell what a
woman means by what she doesn't say
that is. If she leaves anything un-
said.
