flag flowers and the meadows fell
asleep; the song of the forest melt
ed into silence and the melancholy

night to the drowsy birds and

halo of parting day upon their

their hair, walked arm in arm

MORNING AND EVENING. "
(By Bob" TAYLOR

Il saw the morning, with purple
culver and FURNISHED bow, stand
tip-toe on the horizon, and shoot
sunbeams at the vanishing dark
ness of night, then reach up and
gather the stars and hide them in
her bosom, and then bend down
and tickle the slumbering world
with straws of light till it woke
with laughter and with song. A
bugle class from the rosy
fires of the east heralded her COM
ing; a thousand smiling meadows
kissed her garments as she passed,
and ten thousand laughing. gardens
unfurled their flower-flags to
greet her The heart of the deep
forest throbbed a tribute of bird
song, and the bright waters rippled
a melody of welcome. Young life
and love, radiant with hope and
sparkling with adew, drops of ex-

$4,000 to $4,000. Water from
the beach came into the lobby,
bringing silt and dirt with it, ruin
ing all their carpets, etc, on the
lower floCr.
The boulevard is entirely wiped
out from 18th street to the Sealy
hospital and from the eastern end
of the post reservation entirely
west The dirt underneath the
brick pavement having been wash
ed away by the force of the waves.
Our greatest loss is in the cause
way The arch portions is all that
remains. The other portion, which
was a sand fill, protected by con-
crete walls, having entirely wash
ed away, leaving only about one
third of the causeway standing. 1t
means that structure that was
built at a cost of $z,900,000 will
have to be practically rebuilt, and,
will have to be rebuilt a great
deal better, and at a cost of not
less than $5,000,000
Outside of the causeway and the
boulevard, the loss in Galveston
proper, including buildings, stocks,
etc, in my opinion would be about
100000.
We were very uneasy about
mother, Gladys and Mrs. Blum and
all of Ike's children, who We're at
the country club, and on Wednes-
day morning, the 18th, we char
tered boat to go from Galveston
to Dickinson, with Stanley and Mr..
Blum, to see what had happened
there. They had q terrible trip,
taking the whole day to get from
Galveston to the country club, with
life preservers on all the time. They
had to leave the boat and catch a
passing motor boat walking sever
al miles, but found that while the
club had suffered with rain water
they were all well and had food
and water. / sent the money and
advised them to go to San Antonio,
but l have just had a note from
mother and she has decided to re-
turn to Galveston as early as pos
sible.
l am very much discouraged and
disheartened, but we will do as
we did after the 1900 storm-go
to work and rebuild our property
and city, and be thankful that we
have all escaped harm and so few
lives lost.

Galveston, Texas, Aug. 20, J915.
The hurricane that visited Gal
weston last Monday did a great
deal of damage in Galveston and
surrounding country. We are still
practically out of communication
with the outside world. kilograms,
however, have been coming in by
train from Dallas and Houston,
then by automobile to Texas City.
then by boat to Galveston.
The weather bureau on last
Saturday gave notice of the ap-
proach of this hurricane and warn
ed all people living on low ground
by telephone, motor cycle couriers
and otherwise, to Immediately come
in behind the protection of the
sea wall, which most of them did,
thereby saving hundreds of lives. l
felt that the weather bureaus ad-
vice was exaggerated and too
alarming, but there is no question
that hundreds of lives would have
been lost had they not been so
alarmingly advised.
On Monday morning there was a
slight wind ranging about twenty
five miles an hour. | went home
tt lunch as usual and stayed at
home for an hour or so, returning
to the office about three o'clock
and attended to some teleg .ams,
leaving shortly afterwards. AT
four o'clock the wind had gradually
increased until it was then about
fifty miles an hour. From then on
it blew from a northeast direction,
gradually increasing in intensity.
1t then turned to the east, and
then to the south and southwest,
and the height of the storm was
reached about three o'clock in the
morning, when the wind blew di-
rect from the southwest, bring
ing an immense tide with it, the
velocity reaching maximum OF 90
miles an hour. The high tide in
the bay, caused by the northeast
wind, backed the bay water up into
town a foot and a half higher in
the downtown district than the
1900, storm, and every stock Of
in Galveston on the
lower floors was absolutely ruined,
entailing a great and serious loss
tc the merchants. besides making
food and other supplies in the city
scarce.
At almost the height of the
storm, at nine o'clock at night. i'm
rense fires broke out, one in the
O: X. Laundry, one at the wharves
and one elsewhere. The city wa
terworks had given out and there
was no water to fight the fires,
although a hard rain was falling,

That the pool and billiard halls
are being recognized as a twin evil
of the saloon is amply attested by
the crusades being waged against
these places in the larger cities,
Fort Smith has just put her sa-
looms out of business and now the
newspapers of that city are calling
for more stringent regulations on
the pool rooms. The Times Record
says: 1.-THE pool halls ought to
close at $50. Eleven O'Clock is
too late for young men to be out.
You seldom see an elderly man in
a billiard hall. They are patron
lied by young men, mere boys, in
most places. Now the Times Rec
ord has no prejudice against bill
lizards, but it just objects to the
long hours. Men who work the
next day have no business being
out at so late an hour. 1t hurts
their efficiency. This is matter
that the billiard hall owners ought
to take up themselves.

JOHN L. M0RALIZES.

Temperance lectures delivered by
men who never flirted with John
Barleycorn can at best be only
half convincing, for the same rea-
son that theorizing lacks the force
of practice.
No one ever associate ohm L.
Sullivan, former champion pugilist
of the world, with the prohibi-
ton movement, yet John L., who
has squandered more than a mil
lion dollars in high living, garnish-
ed with frequent foundations, has
turned teetotaler and prohibition
list. Recently he delivered lee
ture to several hundred convicts in
an eastern penitentiary. Among
other good things, he said:
81 want to teach the young men
of the country never to start drink
ing. There is no other way the
young man can beat it except by
leaving it alone. Take leaf from
the book of John L. Sullivan and
learn that booze has more ways
of hitting at you than you have of
sidestepping, no matter how shifty
you may be. There isn't a chance
for an even break.
Talk about handling it in mod
Grafton. There is no such thing.
You can't do it. l have heard many
a man say, I can handle it all
right but I have never yet seen
the man who could make good on
his statement.
Il went against John Barleycorn
stronger than any man alive. l
have probably hoisted more booze
at my own expense than any other
man in this or any other country.
But l never won a decision against
him l do not regret the past. Let
it stay where it is-dead and bur-
ied-and it is up to you to say to
yourselves, Why can't I do just as
John L. did?'
when I quit drinking / was
half drunk My partner came to
me and asked me if l wanted a
drink. l told him that l would
like a glass of wine and he
brought me a pint. 1t was bright
and sparkling and cold. There
were lots of bubbles in it. Boys,
liked wine. But l took it and
poured it into a cuspidor and said,
BY God, I have taken my last
drink. and l have. That was
ten years ago. - sd
Every man can do as I did. Ev-
cry man is born with a free will
and the power to use it. In a
hotel like this you can't get it..
Why go to it when you go outside?
1t will only get you into trouble"

KEMPNER DESCRIBES
GALVESTON FLOOD
Enormous Losses in Life and Prop
erty Will Not Discourage Tex
as City Builders.

D. w. Kepner, son-in-law of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Bertig of Par
agould, gives a graphic descrip-
ton of the big Galveston flood
and tells of the hardships en-
dured by the people of that city
while a 92-mile hurricane swept
the waters of the Gulf into the
city.

ing would keep the city from peing
wiped out by fire.
OF course, the electric light
plants gave out and there is no
light. The water, as said, is out,
and there is no water except els
tern. water. We are hopeful that
if nothing serious has happened to
our duplicate main at the bottom
of the bay, we will have water in
a day or two If not, conditions will
be very serious as regards sickness.
We remained at our house all
night during the storm, having
Fannie, Lee and Stanley with us,

roof, one or two window panes are
out, and the wall paper dana ged

time l feared that we would have
to leave the house, as l was afraid
it would not stand much longer.
AS regards our own individual
problem here, we have suffered con-
siderable loss, but are entirely sat
isfied with conditions, as not over
twenty-five lives altogether we're
lost on the island. All of this we
must attribute to our sea wall, for
had it not been for this there
would hardly have been a building
left in Galveston or a life saved.
Every house in town suffered some
little damage, being mainly the
roofing, window lights and shut
ters, chimneys blown down and
the wetting of the houses during
the rain.

Our concrete press stood the
storm without any damage what
soever. The wooden shed that we
had erected last year, at cost OF
$4,000, is about one-half destroy
ed. We had $1,000 bales of cotton
in the press, all of which is more
or less damaged by ground wat"r,
but we are already at work trying
to dry this out. About 1000 oales
of ours in all have floated ava. ,

this. All other presses in town

18th. There were very few with
drawals of money made, and these
apparently only necessary, and no
alarm felt.

IT WENT FOR FEES
Senator OverfieId Reports on
Expenditure of $4,000.
1t Was Given to Him to Buy
Gas Property.

Much of the S25, 900 paid to Senator
John F. Overfield under direction of
the Montgomery county district court
went toward the payment of attor-
neys fees and receivers salary and ex-
penses in the Kansas City Pipe Line
company receivership. Payment of
more than $4,000 for this purpose is
shown in a report filed with the pub
lie utilities commission by Senator
Overfield.
Among the attorney fees paid from
the $4,000 fund were J. w. Zevley,
$4,250; Frank Hagerman, $4,000;
Thomas z. Wagstaff, $500; Charles
Curtis, United States senator, $4,000,
including fees and expenses. OF the
balance, Senator Overfield drew S.
400 as his own salary for the receiv-
ship. charging $500 a month for his
work. Other expenses and claims
filed by Senator Overfield brought the
total of his expenses to S10,S00.
The schedule of expenses and ex-
penditures of $4,000 was filed with
the public utilities commission for
their use in the gas case. The report
was made after several insistent de-
mands by the commission and will be
used in considering the handling of
the gas company finances when a new
gas rate is made. During the trial of
the gas case, Robert Stone and other
attorneys representing the gas COM
pany receivers, stated that the $685.
900 had been paid 10 Senator Overfield
to be used in securing new gas prop
