 Ing III Galveston harbor when the storm came, were found, when the storm ceased and the waters had subsided, ten miles away standingon dry land. These steamers are still standing where the storm left them and are in plain view of passengers coming to Galveston on the Santa Fe. Engineers figure that it will cost five hundred thousand dollars to get them back into the sea.
 The long brick paved drive way along the sea wall was con- pleteIy torn away by the erosion and nothing is left but sand and deep holes. Along the Gulf front more than one hundred dwellings were washed from there foundations and some of them buried in five or six feet of sand.
 Just across the bay lies the Wreckage of a boat on which forty-fve people lost their lives.
 In the face of this great dis aster the people of Galveston are displaying remarkable courage. The great causeWay will be re- built, the sea wall extended, and the city elevated and the time will no doubt come when the city will be protected against these great forces of wind and sea.

 OF GALVESTON STORM
En2NsER EDITOR OF THE TSlg- uNE VISITS STRakEN COAST
 CITY

The Tribune publishes below 8 communication from E. c. Cooper, a former citizen of Green Forest and for two years editor of the Tribune. MT. Cooper has been for several years general adiuster for a large number of fire insurance companies, during which time he has made his his home at Oklahoma City, Okla.
 Galveston, Texas,
 Sept. 27, 1915. To the Readers of the Tribune:
 On September s, 1900. the city of Galveston was wrecked by one of the greatest storms in history. A tidal wave from the Gulf of Mexico accompanied that storm and Galveston Island was inundated to a depth of from four to ten feet of water. When the waters had subsided more than ten thousand dead bodies were found on the streets of Galveston. The property loss was terrific, the city was with out light or water, sanitary con ditions were terrible. Military law was soon declared and the great problem of relieving. the city of it's dead and restoring normal conditions was under taken.
 The dead bodies were lC sded on boats and carried fifty miles to sea and consigned to the waters of the Gulf but the waves soon brought them back and threw them on the sh or e S of the Island. The protection of the living made prompt and heroic action imperative. These decomposed bodies were disposed of by burning them in the streets of Galveston.
 On August Is, 1915, Galveston  was again visited by a storm and tidal wave even greater than the one of 1900. The water was seven inches deeper i'll the busi- ness part of the city, the wind was of greater velocity and longer duration. The Weather Bureau gave the people warning, they went to the upper floors of the strong buildings in the city and the loss of life was small compared with the 1900 storm. A great many lives were lost, how ever. It will never be knownhow many. The records at the Weather Bureau contain and estimate of thousands of lives lost in the Gulf area affected by the storm.
 Soon after the storm l was ordered here by the insurance companies to take up the adjust ment of losses. 1 commenced work on September 8th, just fifteen years to a day from the great storm of 1900.
 have been in every nook and corner of the city surveying the losses, and a few of tke things have seen will perhaps be ot interest.
 The "Causeway" was a great concrete structure two miles Ill len g t h, connecting Galveston Island with the main land. All railway trains and interurban cars came over this causeWay and there was a driveway for automobiles and vehicles. 1t was erected at a cost of approXl- mately two million dollars. This great structure was wrecked. The great concrete slabs look as II they had been broken and crumb- led between the fingers of some mighty giant.
 Concrete columns standing on the sea wall and weighing fifteen tons were moved three hundred T 1 gl

At first glance there may not seem to
be much connection between the posi-
bic ultimate abolition of poverty and
the fact that person with a genius
for drawing human figures is compelled
instead to draw up mathematical &C
counts for which he has as little lik-
ing as ability; or contrariwise, that
the natural born lightning calculator is
condemned TO harness his talent to the
exercise OF counting milestones on a
country road. However. much as they
differ regarding the question generally,
the authorities consulted agree that
there is a long distance link binding
them. Also that when the poet wrote
from the depths of his own unhappy
state "frcm ignorance our comfort
flows, the only wretched are the wise"
he was probably suffering from emo
tional nausea rather than an overdose
of wisdom; and that prior statements

"In the Way He Should Co."
When we see what is being done for
the children OF to-day. the wonder is
that we ever grew up. 1t is now be-
lieved that the only chance for a child
is to train him in the way ne should

and if that training be too long delayed
it can never be made good.
There isn't much hope Of reform
after the character becomes set in
its tendencies, and that occurs quite
early in life.

mathematical certainty the degree of

For instance, one does not study medi-

for the Free Unfolding Of
Child's individuality, Says a
Mistaken Choice Of Occupa-

Living.

II should he accurately observed but
never suppressed II is scarcely too
much to say that the entire future hap
piness Of child depends upon the sue
cessful bringing out of its capabilities,
for upon that rests the choice Of its
life work.
"a mistake in this choice destroys all

a lost life. To help us through the in
cvitable troubles and sadnesses of life
and give us courage to 60 on. one must
work, and more than that have COM
pensation for It.
II do not mean only material gain,
but the inward satisfaction that con-
genial work brings with it, and this
can only be had when a person follows
the pursuit adapted to his innermost
desires. That is why the choice Of
life pursuit is of such supreme impor-
lance.
A Benefit TO the World.
"But greater even than to the man
himself is its significance to the world
at large. II is in this way: The COM
munity and state being made up Of in
dividual existences. II many are discon-
tented it is easy to see how the whole
substructure of government becomes
undermined. and there is little Of order
and security left. Moreover. man will
neglect interests that are repugnant and
turn TO outside distractions for conso-
lation. in that way he may find some
small measure of satisfaction for him
self, but there is none for the commu-
nifty welfare.
Our entire civilization depends upon
a provision of nature which distributes
gifts and talents in the most varying
manner.
This has a direct bearing on the
lessening of poverty, inasmuch as the
person well fitted vocationally is in
finitely happier and therefore success
