Locally there was no serious damage
to property, and none to life. The bad
weather set in with a high wind and
some rain, Wednesday morning, and
continued all day, and until past the
middle of the night gradually increas-
ing in violence. A great part OF the
time the wind came from the north
east. Fences were blown down, trees
whipped to pieces, boughs broken, and
nuts thrashed from the limbs bearing
them. The electric plant went out Of
business at early dusk, and wires of
all sorts were blown down. Telephone
connections in most cases were broken,
and linemen have had busy time
putting things to rights. The crops
have been injured greatly. There has
not been storm of anything like equal
violence since September 20, 1909.

WORST STORM SINCE 1909 HITS
LOUISIANA.

The tropical hurricane, expected to
strike the coast Tuesday night, reach.
led New Orleans, Wednesday, and that
city bore the brunt of the wind, al.
though all houses forty miles up from
the mouth of the Mississippi River
were demolished.
+ Lives lost, IA, and property damage
two millions.
The city was near the center of the
hurricane, which reached a sustained
velocity of sc miles an hour for ten
minutes, and 100 miles for period of
twenty seconds.
The center of the storm passed New
Orleans about twenty miles to the
westward at $50 p. m.
The barometer dropped to 2S.11 (of-
Ificial) at $50 p. m. This record was
l 12-100 inches lower than ever before
was recorded in New Orleans. 1t was
even lower, by 1900 of an inch, than
the lowest barometric pressuse record
ed at Houston, Texas, during the hurri.
cane which wrought such great damage
along the Texas coast in August of this
year. 1t was 37-100 of an inch lower
than the barometer reading recorded
during the great storm Of 1900, when
more than 5000 lives were lost in
Galveston, Texas.
The sustained wind velocity of sc
miles an hour exceeded all previous
New Orleans records by exactly twenty
miles. The highest previous wind We.
locity was recorded on September 20,
1909, when a maximum of sixty-six
miles was registered at the Weather
Bureau.
Numerous public buildings suffered
and hundreds of homes were damaged
severely, many being blown down
Scarcely a house in New Orleans
escaped without scratch. Several big
churches were particular victims of the
storms fury. Department stores, hotels
and other big buildings In the business
district suffered. Street traffic was al
most paralyzed during much of the
day, and was rendered perilous by fly
ing glass and debris of all sorts.
All passenger and freight trains
scheduled to leave the city after noon
were detained. An incoming Southern
Pacific train from Texas points was
marooned throughout the day on rail
road transfer boat which was driver
several miles up the Mississippi river
when a crossing from Avondale was
attempted about 8 a. m.
While the storm was at it's height
the tide rose SO high in Lake Pontchar
train that the water went over the new
sea wall and flooded a large area In
the vicinity of West End, Spanish For
and Milneburg. The First Presbyter
ian Church at Lafayette Square col
lapsed, and was damaged to the extern
of $4,000 Felicity Street Methods
Church was damaged to the extent Of
100000.
| DR.. Cline of the Weather Bureau
expressed the belief that the storm
would be more intense than that which
wrought such damage at New Orleans
and along the coast in September, 1909
He also predicted that the winds would
shift to the west by Thursday morning
gradually subsiding, and that Thursda!
probably would be fair.

KNEW WHERE 1T BELONGED
information Not Just What Botanist
Was Looking For, But the Boy
Meant Well.

L
The famous botanist was pacing
slowly along the country road, his
eyes, as usual, roaming from side to
side for now plants to study.
Suddenly an eager look spread
cross his features, and he leaned
yer the low fence inclosfng a cot
tage garden. He had found a plant he
did not know.
What could it be! If only he had a
specimen OF it to study!
At that moment a shock-headed lad
strolled along the road and stopped
to gaze open-mouthed at him.
Il say!" called the botanist urgent
ly. See that plant there-that pale
pink one in the corner? Do you know
it,"
"Uh-hu!" said the country boy
briefly.
What's its name? Do you know
what family it belongs to-"
The lad jerked a grubby thumb over
his shoulder toward the little cottage
as he spoke more briefly still.

i THE CARPET HAeeER.

From the Indianapolis News.

Discussions Of carpet bag government
and carpet Dagger are rife, which would
be more to the point, one newspaper re-
marks, u the younger generation were
told what q carpet bag Is, adding that
there are very young persons who nave
rot the femotest idea how a carpet bag
was used. Carpet bags are not made now
and only In the garrets Of the Oldest fam
lilies may one be found. They came even
before the linen duster and have passed
with the generation that found both use-
full. We have the successor OF the carpet
bag in leather and aatchels Of all grades
and colors. and, for the most part, they
follow the shape Of the ancient carpet bag.
It Is simply that we have increased in
wealth and are able to have such hand
bags Of better material than the carpet
ing and glazed black cloth out of which
the earlier article was made. But the lin
en- duster has gone because of the im-
provenaent in railroad cars and road bed.
The days of the fiinsy car (now generally
called a coach), with It's rafting windows
and no means Of ventilation, have gone,
and with their departure has gone the
"duster.'
Not long before the civil war Edwin M.
Stanton saw Abraham Lincoln enter a ho-
tel in Cincinnati on a hot day, clad IN a
long linen duster, on the back of which
Stanton described q Target wet splotch
that looked like a map OF Africa, and In
his hand a carpet bag" He did not add
that every other traveller Of those days
was similarly fitted out

WHAT HE MIGHT HAVE DONE
Inquiry That Would at Least Have
Shown That Husband Was Not
Altogether Indifferent.

Mrs. Enderly, wife of Judge Ender-
~, of a small Missouri town. com
planned one day that she had acct
dentally swallowed a button, which
she was holding in her mouth prepar-
atory to attaching to some garment.
AS the lady was rather given to
making great ado over trivial mishaps,
and as the Judge was much preoccu-
pied, he did not pay much heed. Soon
after, however, finding her in tears,
he made kindly inquiry as to their
cause.
It's your heartless in-indifference
to anything that h-happens to me-"
sobbed the aggrieved little Il
didn't suppose you'd w-worry much
because | swallowed a button, but l
d-did think you might have taken
enough interest in it to inquire w-what
kind of b-button it was."-Youth's

Auto Lights and Breeding.
From the Fort wayne News.

The News remarked the other evening
that those automobile owners who rush
about the streets with glazing headlights
are usually men from the lower walks Of
life and a correspondent challenges this
statement as a reflection on the poor. The
best answer to this challenge is the very
well known fact that the poor are not
the owners of automobiles with glazing
headlights. There are men in the lower
walks of life here in Fort Wayne who
have a great deal of money and there are
those in the higher walks who have prac-
tically none. Money happily is not the
standard by which true worth is gagged.
Coal Oil Johnny scattering his wealth with
a lavish hand among the parasites Of
Pittsburgh was ~distinctively from the low
er walks while DR.. Johnson laboriously
penning the immortal story of "Rasselas.h
In order to gain money to bury his mother,
was unquestionably Of the higher walks.
Money, and even What is mistakenly des-
ignated social position, have nothing to
do with a mans walk in life. That is a
thing apart-an attribute Of character.
You can't make a silk purse Of a sow's
ear and by the same token you can't
make a gentleman Of a coarse and selfish
creature who thinks only of his own pleas
ure and who is boorish1y inconsiderate of
others. For he, like the beast of the field,
follows the lower walks of life and not
all the t%rappings of wealth can lift him
from them.

PaternaIism Highly Developed.
When ana zone residents go to the
store to make q purchase they a ke q
book of coupons purchased from the gov
eminent, and buy what the government
thinks Is good for them. They may want
something else, but that make no differ
ence to the government. In addition to
telling them what kind of clothing they
have to wear. the government also tells
them that they can not smoke certain
kinds of tobacco which have not met with
the approval OF the government chemist,
and the same is TRUE OF chewing gum.
h canal zone government operates the
Panama railroad, Panama Steamship COM
pany, dock terminals at Cristobal and Bal
boa, and all lighterage and stevedorirg
work at terminals; constructs and rents
dwellings to employees of the canal zone:
buys and sells meats, vegetables, gro

trio light plant and water works. hotels

the postoffice; publishes a daily newspa-
per; rum hospitals in the zone and In
Panama, and runs a cold storage plant
and an ice factory.
This vast machine runs smoothly and
efficiently. Hours are short and pay Is
good. It may be that there Is so much
leisure that the Inhabitants ave to resort
to criticism in order to kill time. They
declare that his stern military govern
ment is creating a bad impression among
the countries down there with whom the
people Of the United States wish to be on
friendly terms. They say also that young
men are getting better pay than the old
employees, and that the military families
hold aloof from the civilian population
and make things generally unpleasant.
Such is the nature Of the criticisms. Gem
eral Goetha1s has long since explained
that he could not have finished his work
nearly so we'll had he depended on civilian
engineers, for, after making a reputation.
they went home to better salaries than
the government could pay. In the extrem-
ity he had to fall back on army officers.
whom he could hold. Hence the military
tone of the government, and, as some
| would nave 1t, hence the canal.

Is the word of one man-Goethals. He Is
an autocrat, but a benevolent one, and he
rules according to a plan which is not far
from socialism. He has his critics. Among
those benefited by the system of govern
ment which he has installed there are not
a few who openly d%enounce him and his
methods. They send blotters DAD
over the country on which are printed
some fact or other which tends to prove
that Major General Cocktails is too much
Of an autocrat. Or one of the blotters
being sent out is printed the following:
Question-Why is the United States gov

which 1t has absolutely no need; paying
$500 a day for q Joint land commission to
adjust values on these lands; paying

These attacks do not seem to worry the
general much. On April /, 1914. he put
into effect the system of permanent gov
ernment for the canal. BY authority of
congress-, the president Of the United
States Is the supreme head. He has dele
gated his power to Gen. George Washing
ton Goethals, and the general has appoint
ed certain assistants to help him out. 1t
appears that these assistants and the In
habitants sometimes entertain different
opinions, and since the general Is behind
the assistants, the inhabitants with a
| grievance aim their criticism at him.
There is no UGH thing az civil govern
ment In the canal zone. 1t is military in

zone is exclusively the property of the

Upon the wharves of Slumber
I watched the Ships of Dreams
Come sailing in through mist and moon,
With glowworrn lights and CLEANS.
Their holds were stuffed with plumber
OF every land and time,
With Ophir gold and gods Of Greece,
And scraps of ancient rime.
l-ssSssk-ssrsAezrs.~-
Pastils Of Cretan henbane,
And bales Of Yemen silk,
With cassia buds and sandalwood,
n Oman pearls like milk.
And slaves, both men and women.
Most fair to look upon,
Whose chanting made the breeze to blow
That swept the Dream Ships on.
I had the pick and taking
OF every cargo there
The spice and gold, the gems and slaves,
And myrrh and pearls and yair.
But while I stood debating
What thing to take and choose,
A voice cried, "Lo! the good ship Dawn
Draws In across the dews."
And all the Dream Ships vanished
And left me wide-awake
To hin of many, many things
It had been mine to take.
