wireless still leaves the question
whether Galveston has suffered a loss
OF lives unanswered. 1t merely says
that the number OF lives lost is un.
known. leaving the inference that there
may have been deaths. Two other
wireless messages earlier In the day
were equally noncommittal.
Another wireless was received at the
brownsville army station, which indi-
Gated that the storm in Galveston had
about spent its force.
Port Lavaca. a bay town more thar
100 miles west OF Galveston, has re-
ported great damage to the growing
crops. Virtually all cotton in the
coastal plains thereabout has been de-
stroyed, the estimated loss being 500
bales In Port Lavaca's vicinity.
The coastal plain country is a broad,
fertile strip OF soil. varying from 20
TO 10 miles In width, skirting the gulf.
This zone is dotted with villages and is
intensively cultivated. There is virtu.
ally no protection against high winds
and for the residents of this section Of
the state fears are expressed. :
Most OF Texas from the gulf to the
northern boundary and as far west as
San Antonio was being swept by winds
whose velocity varies from As TO 60
miles an hour.
Houston and Beaumont were also
isolated from wire communication.

The rarest Of all the virtues Is I'M
selfshness. To disregard self so
completely that all ones interest is
wrapped in another is an outward
and evident sign Of a big nature.
There is only one class of humanity
in which such unselfishness is to be
found in abundance, and that is in
mothers. To be sure, there are .
few other unselfsh souls to be found
scattered here and there in a world
of selfshness, but, generally speak
ing, unselfshness is to be found at
its highest in mothers. That there
are exceptional mothers who are in
tensely selfish only goes to prove the
rule.
If only children could appreciate
to the full the greatness OF the
mother love! Unfortunately, most
of us learn too late to appreciate the
magnitude of our mothers affection.
1t is the contrariness of fate that we
never value anything half so much
as when we have lost it. And, as a
rule, we take our mothers sympathy
and help so much as a matter OF
course that it is not until she haf
gone that we would give anything
to have expressed our love and graft
