10 KNOWN TO
BE DEAD AT
new ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-The
known list of dead at New Or
leans has swelled to 10, while
property damage along the water
front is estimated at millions OF
dollars.
The s. P. wharves and offices
were swept away.
The full fury Of the storm
struck Houme. The lack of word
from that place leads authorities
to believe the ruin has been tre-
mendous.
Fear also is felt for the in
habitants of the lower coast and
those west of the city. While no
buildings in New Orleans we're
destroyed, nearly every one was
damaged to some extent.

Raises man to noblCT state;
There Is love Of man for woman,
And love for duty's call,
But love for king and country
Is the Uandest love of all.
Life.
There are many kinds Of lifs
As many kinds Of men.
And every kind Of life
Knows a sweet bitter end:
There is life that's full Of joy.
And life that's full Of pain.
But life for king and country
Is the life not lived in vain.
Death.
There many kinds Of death.
As many kinds Of fear.
And every kind Of death
May ask at least a tear;
There Is death that's for another.
And death that love has blessed
But death for king and country
Is the noblest death. and h,st.
