Shall there be in every joy
Some alloy?
Must the gold of life we gain
Know baser metals train?
VIII the sunset in the sky
Fade and die?
There must be In every joy
Some alloy;
Gladness may our portion be,
Heaven await for you and me.
Yet sigh-but a sigh,
Tells alloy of pain is nigh.
Can our paths be lined with flowers,
Dainty ever blooming flowers,
And no thorns nor branches sere
Rise anear?
Can we look upon the hours
Without fear-without fear?
Pansies rare glow tinted light
Gold improves the lily white.

ODD PHASES OF GULF STORM
Former Signal Officer of the United
states Tells of the Destruction
of IndianOla, Tex.

II was the signal officer at In
dianola, Tex, in September, 1875,
when that fearful West Indian storm
devastated the Florida coast. came
around the gulf and destroyed many
towns in Texas" said Charles How
ard, special agent of the census bu-
reau, recently to a St. Louis Globe
Democrat man. THE wind had been
blowing at the rate of SO miles an
hour for two days and the water was
12 feet deep all over the city when
the big blow came. The signal serv-
ice station was the highest building
in the place, and when the storm was
over, although badly undermined by
the waves, it was the only inhabited
building in town left standing. This
is strange part of the story, as it
illustrates another of the peculiarities
of those gulf wind storms as well as
explains why our house was not
washed away with the rest.
For 4S hours the area OF low
barometer had centered over Indian
ola and the worst was looked for
The gale had driven the waters from
the bay through the town until it
seemed as if there was no chance for
escape. We determined to stick by
our instruments, however, as long as
the building did not GO to pieces. In
case that it became absolutely neces-
sary to leave we had made a raft out
of six bales of cotton, so that escape
might be possible. The wind was
coming from the southeast, and the
last record taken before the instru-
ments on the tower were carried
away indicated a velocity of almost
100 miles an hour. Schooners from
the bay were carried right through
the business part of town and left
high and dry on farm land five miles
away.
- remember that as | watched the
barometer go down and down /
thought that the end would come be-
fore long. This thing had been GO
ing on for As hours, with no let-up.
As a matter of precaution we had
braced the signal service station
against the wind and waves coming
from the southeast. so felt more Sc
cure than would have been the case
Suddenly, as the barom-
eter dropped TO 1924, there was a
dead calm, which came with a sud-
denness which was startling. The
thought struck me that this meant
that the wind would shift, so we went
out and reversed the braces, putting
them on the other side. A minute
later the gale came on again in all
its fury, but this time from the north
west instead of the southeast. In six
hours time the water that had been
flooding the town for two days had
been forced back and the few houses
rot carried away by the inrushing
torrent were swept away by the re-
ceding waters. Some 800 persons
were drowned out of population of
