The ather 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 1898. and, with a natu-
raj leaning toward the wild, began
early in life to roam the Wilder
ness. With a red man and the
beasts of the forest he was solidly
at home, and it was only by 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 thirtyone 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
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-08-13

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 a real man, and when
Texas began her struggle for lib
erty Houston shook off the rags Of
his degradation and became a SOL
der again in the cause of free
dom.
All the world knows how he won
Texas independence at the battle of
San Jacinto in 1885. and how. as
the fitting recognition of his mag
nif1cent 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 sword 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"

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
