GAME GALVESTON.
j Those who predicted that the terrific
Hood whlSh laid Galveston waste and
destroyed the lives of thousands of
her people and many milions of dol-
lars worth of her property would be
;the permanent ruin of the city did not
know what they were talking about.
Galveston Is rising from her dosola-
jtlon fairer than she ever was before
and is facing the future with a eon
fidenee that Is well founded.
Ample precautious are being pro
vided against a recurrence of the dis-
aster the city recently suffered. The
people of Galveston act on the theory
tBiat heaven uelps those who help
themselves and have voted to Issue
bonds to the amount of 11,500,000 for
the construction of sea walls. The
city's credit is fine in spite of Us tre-
mendous losses. The proposed bonds
icouid be sold readily in outside mar-
— kets at a low rate of Interest, but they
of will be taken mainly at home. It is
estimated that at least $1,000,000 of
them will bo purchased by citizens of
THE MAN WHO BELIEVES
HE WILL WIN.
This life Is a race—so the sages de-1
dare, and I judge that the sages J
are light,—
And we are the jockeys to handle, with !
care, the horses we speed In their
flight;
And Fate is the starter who bids us to '
go, and we dare noi. that fiat defy; j
If our horses be fast or our horses be
slow, for a place in the race we >
must try.
Somewhero up above sits the Judge. I
and He knows the speed of each
horse that we ride,
And if we are doing our best as it
goes, or lagging, and little beside,
.Jind this I liavo noticed while watch
itig the race and hearing its tur
moil and din;
The man that is likely to win the first
place Is the man who bolieves he
will win.
