is Kornman. Indeed, Kornman ranks
IN importance Of trade, improvements,

in Bent and Otero counties.
Following in, and giving these towns
growth, came homeseekers buying land
and establishing farms. Soon the land
scape was Transformed. The railway
close by, and the water flowing abun-
dantly in tho canals, ths settlers entsred
hpon their work and laid out thsir money
with confidence. Within : year they
began to send beets and alfalfa to market,
and many were feeding livestock. For
the work Of starting q farm here is nc
more than plowing and planting. Nature
has laid the land for easy flow and dis
tribution Of water from the laterals, and
fences, even shelter for the family, may
wait.
RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR s41IL1ls.
It was rare opportunity for the new
settler. A little cash down, long con-
tract for deferred payments, and the cer-
tainty Of something to sell within the
first year, made it unusually inviting.
Then there was no fear Of either food or
drought; the water absolutely coming
or leaving off at the will Of the farmer

American Banking association upon
further the of scientific agriculture and TO help capable
farmers finance their business There thirteen thousand
banks organizations already been
formed in twenty-three states to push this movement.
Mr. Edwin Chamberlain Of San Antonio Texas, of the
leading bankers the South just sailed Europe

represents appointed study
these The assumption is that system OF cooperation
between the bankers and the farmers Of the country be worked
that will far toward solving the cost Of living problem
This assumption is reasonable and hopeful Certainly
would say bankers could
cuaed establish cordial relations between the banking atcr
nifty and the Of the people
1t is possible that this movement may open a new era in
American bankng-an in which bankers shall nearly
realize and satcsmankc possibilities of their bust
Hitherto banking in America has been often regarded
merely lucrative calling for gentlemen Of MEANS with talent
for keeping making
signs that banking in America is destined become liberal

There is high significance in the linking of the idea of agri

Thus it becomes practicable lend money low

The bac-toth farm cry will be needed by multiudc of

One More Capital
Discovery Was Made.

One more capital discovery was
necessary before practical ma
chimes could be made. This was
that if the thin wire connecting
the ends of the thick moving wire
was insulated, heightened and
twisted around the bar, the gall
vanic battery might be dispensed
with. 1t was found that the ma
chine could use the very electricity
it generated to increase the mag
netic force Of the bar by simply
conveying the flow around it in in
creased number Of turns.
When steel or permanent mag
nets and galvanic batteries were
discarded, the name was changed
from magnetic to dynamo.
Now, bend the bar of iron into
the shape of the letter U and the
two poles are near to each other
with the effect of increase in the
rate Of alterations. Make a num-
Der of U magnets. Arrange them
on a frame in a circle. Make hun
dreds Of turns of insulated wire
around each branch of each u
magnet. Then make many coils

go, that she might marry the man
of her hearts choice, and that he
would take himself out of the way.
Disappearing as effectually as
though he had dropped into the sea,
Houston went to live with the Cher
okee Indians, and borne down by
the burden of his grief, sank very
low. Even the Indians dubbed him
Drunken Sam" 1t looked as
though he was on his way to the
very bottom of the abyss.
But down at the bottom Drunk
en- Sam" was real man, and when
Texas began her struggle for lib
erty Houston shook off the rags Of
his degradation and became a SOL
dier again in the cause Of free
dom.
All the world knows how he won
Texas independence at the battle of
San Jacinto in 1886, and how. as
the fitting recognition of his mag
niticent service in her behalf, Texas
made him her first president.
A thoroughgoing erican.
HOustOn's earnest desire was that
the Lone Star republic should be-
come a part of the United States,
and he kept at 1t until the splendid
domain his s|ord had won was
united with the greater Republic of
the starry flag.
When the awful days Of 81
came, Houston was governor of
Texas, and he did all he could to
keep her in the Union, but, failing,
he retired to his prairie home, say
ing to them as he departed:
You can go to hell if you please.
but you shall not drag me along
with you"
He died July %, 1863. as he was
completing his seventeen year. the
same honorable man that he had AL
ways been, without fear and with
out reproach."

The Father of Texas
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

CAM HOUSTON died forty nine
years ago. and it was the last
of earth" with one of the great
est Americans that ever looked up
with pride to the flag of our coun-
try.
Houston was born on a farm in
Virginia in 1893, and, with a natu-
raj leaning toward the wild, began
early in life to roam the Wilder
ness. With red man and the
beasts of the forest he was solidly
at home. and it was only by a very
great eXertion of will power that he
finally betook himself to the haunts
of civilization"
After some bOyish experience in
the War of '12," Houston became a
real soldier with Jackson in his
memorable war with the Creek In
dams, and at the famous battle Of
Horseshoe Bend" the young Vir-
ginian displayed the valor and cOur-
age that won from his chief the
warmest praise. Nothing pleased
"Old Hickory" like real bravery,
and with his own eyes he had seen
that Houston was the "bravest Of
the brave"
1t was impossible that a man Of
Houston's ability and taking"
ways should remain in the back
ground, and in the natural course of
events he found himself. at the age
of thirty-one, a major general, and
at the age of thirty four governor
of Tennessee, his adopted state.
With the brightest of prospects,
Houston about this time married
the beautiful young woman who
was to begin the "Iliad Of his woes"
Soon after the marriage he learned,
from his bride herself, that she
loved another and did not love her
husband at all. Broken hearted,
but with wonderful magnanimity,
Houston told her he would let her

Michael Faraday's Great

Bv EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

IN August 81, 1881, the Master
Mind in science. manifesting
in the brain Of Faraday, di-
rected his hand to take up a wire
that was conveying a current of
electricity from one terminal of an
ordinary zinc copper galvanic
battery to the other, and place it
across a bar of soft iron, not touch
ing the iron.
The eye of man hath not seen an
event more wonderful than that
which followed; the iron at once
became a temporary magnet and
attracted iron filings.
Faraday then wrapped thread
around the wire to insulate it-that
is, to prevent contact of metal
and made one turn of wire around
the piece of iron; its magnetism
was inCrea sed. Then he made
coil of many turns, like thread on a
spool, and secured a strong magnet.
BY moving a wire in front of this
temporary iron, instead of perma-
nent steel, magnet, increased cur
rent was obtained, depending on
the number of turns of wire and
speed of the moving wire.

All Due to Faraday
And His Experiment.

Make thirty or forty US weigh

gether on a huge yoke or frame Of
iron from thirty to forty feet in
diameter Make coils and bundles
of insulated wire into a cylinder
weighing many tons. Move the
curved ends OF all the US close as
possible to, the cylinder to allow
free motion. Buy two double COM
pound engines to turn the bundle in
air space against invisible resist
ance and insensible to the human
body, but very sensible to conduct
ing metals. Let the compound en-
gines be of 5000 or 10000 horse
power each.
Buy a dozen OF these gigantic
sets of magnets and rapidly re-
volving bundles. assemble in a

Der of railroads whose cars receive
current from the central station in
their motors, and move the people.

CONCERN TO HAYE
FIREPROOF HOME
Washington Tobacco Company to
Erect Structure From Plans
Prepared by a. P. Clarke, u.

A two-story building OF freproof
construction is to be built at si7 Z
Street Northwest for the washington
Tobacco company. whose former quar-
ters IN Pennsylvania avenue were de-
stroyed bytfre last fall. A. P. Clark.
Dr., Is the architect for the structure.
The drawings are now completed and
building estimates are being received.
The building Will be the most up-to-
date structure of its kind In the city.
It will have a frontage OF 50 feet and
a depth OF 15S feet The front will be
of granite. terra Gotta. and brick.
The feature of the first floor arrange
ment will be huge humidor measur-
ing ~ by 40 feet, which, when COM
pleted, will be the largest ever in
stalled in Washington. The front por-
tion of the first floor will be used for
store purposes. The humidor and ONCE
rooms will occupy the center Of the
building. In this portion will also be a
large built-in freproof vault for s.or-
ing books and other yaluablespapers.
In the rear portion OF the building there
viii be a garage large enough 20 hold
three motor delivery wagons. The floor
of the garage win be several feet lower
than that OF the remainder OF the build
ing. This Will make II possible to back
the delivery wagons up TO loading plat
form which will be on the same level
as the floors OF the vehicles. The open
end Of the garage will be closed at night
time by means OF steel sliding curtains.
The second floor OF the building will
be one large room. the floor of which
will be Of concrete. The window trim
mings on this floor. as well as those Of
the floor below, win be entirely OF
pressed steel.
The walls OF the building viii he made
sufficiently heavy to stand the weight Of
two additional floors which may after
ward be added to the structure. in order
that the work may be done at some fl-
ture time without disturbing the remain

This committee received from Gen.
Ainsworth, nor from any one IN his be-
half, no request or suggestion that this
matter should be made the subject OF
any action by the committee. His views
are unknown TO this committee; but
common justice dictated that this action
should be taken. and that Congress
should be Informed OF all the facts in the
case.
AInswOrth Letters GarbIed.
Your committee has thus gone very
fully into an examination and explana-
tion of these papers because Of the use
which has been made of garbIed ex-
tracts from them to get rid of the serv-
ices of one Of the most accomplished
and useful officers of the army-an Of
ficer who for more than twenty-five years
has rendered inestimable service to
the country. and by that service has
saved much money and time, a service
which has been recognized time and
again by Congress; and in the opinion
OF your committee he has been guilty
OF no act which Justifies the letter or
the Secretary of War and resulted In
the countrys loss OF his activities when
they were most needed. Any one who
Will give the same attention TO these
papers which We have most inevitably
come to the conclusion that Gen. Aims
worth was blameless in every one OF
the instances cited against him by the
Secretary OF war as evidences OF ofricial
misconduct. He acted in compliance with
orders OF superior authority. He occu-
pied "a most responsible position; he had
at his command information not obtain
able from any other source concerning
the subjects under consideration, and It
was his imperative duty to state his
own knowledge and the results or his
own experience as to these subjects, re-
gardless OF whether his views coincided
with those of others or not.
This he did fearlessly, frankly. and
forcibly. and in doing so he gave no
just cause OF orfense TO any person.
