Herbert Spencer and tho Sea.

To illustrate the advantages the
modern child enjoys in seeing so much
more OF the world than children of
earlier generations did. Herbert Spen-
GER mentions that he had never seen
the sea until after he was twenty-one.
This is the more remarkable. because
his father always spent his summer
vacation at the seaside, rambling along
the coast from one place to another.
But the son never went with the IA
Their until he was man. One result
is that we have a first impression or

The Flood Situation.

The present flood situation
along the Brazos River is be-
yond question the worst this
country has ever experienced. 1t
far exceeds the great flood of
1899 and sets a new record in
Brazos River overflows, so far
as the present generation knows
anything about.
There doubtless have been
overflows, owing to the time of
year, that have been more dis
astrous from a money stand
point, but never one where more
helpless dumb animals were
drowned, or human life so
gravely imperiled.
The situation is terrible. 1t is
utterly beyond the power of hui
man words to describe. The
great levee, constructed to pro-
tect $4,000 acres of fertile lands
on the west side of the river,
was swept away like an embank-
ment of chaff, and the farms de-
pending upon it as a bulwark
against floods are now seas of
raging waters. Houses are gone,
household effects swept away,
and the people, seeking refuge
in trees and on housetops that
remain, are sending out cries for
help that are enough to quail
the stoutest hearts.
The cry has been heard, thank
God this is a Christian land, and
every effort within the range of
human possibility is being done
to bring relief. The people OF
Bryan have heard the IS. o. s."
and in response the citizens have
pledged their individual efforts,
and pledged the city's entire re-
sources to the work of rescue,
of succor and relief.
The situation is such that
none can turn a deaf ear to its
appeal. Strong arms are needed
money is needed, physicians anG
medicines are needed, shelter is
needed, food is need. The peo-
pie of Bryan will not fail. The
