EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
1874-1901
No. 28-Administration of Governor Houston
Early Things in Second Reconstruction Period
1874-1901

tional part that was left was represented
| by ever increasing taxpaying assets. The
military constitution was disposed of by
| that of 1875, and thus the tax rate was
| fixed and the right of state or county
| or town to incur debt was prescribed.
The date of election of state and county
officers was changed from November to
August so as to avoid the federal cleo
| tion date and the consequent federal su-
| pervision of the ports. The sub-legisla-
| tive body, the department of education,
| intruded into the military constitution
was dropped. The offices of lieutenant
| governor and commissioner of Industries
| were dropped. The annual session of
| the legislature was changed to biennial
Thus the reconstruction in it's first 10
| year period was brought to an inglorious
end amidst great revival of hope in the
hearts of the people.
There was a second period of reconstruc-
| ton. 1t continued from 1874 until 1901.
The gravamen of the complaint by the
Washington government in that 26 years
was against the non-observance, in cleo
tions in the state, of the fiftieth article
of amendment, comforting the electorate
upon the negroes. OF the conditions un-
der which the state labored then, We shall
proceed to tell.
State measures of reform beginning to
show themselves in the spring of 1875
were not abruptly by President Grant in
Judge for Alabama, then one district
Busteed resigned in 1874 Parsons and
Alex White were asprants for the posi-
tion. The people of the state expected
nothing of favor from the President.
Finally his choice fell upon a carpetbag-
ger member of the Legislature from Will
cox county, Scotchman, John Bruce
The Southern tSelma) Argus in announc-
Ing the appointment, said it had fallen to
"a clever fellow, utterly unknown as a
lawyer"
Judge Bruce was a soldier with the
rank of brevet brigader general in the
United States volunteer forces. He came
to this state Immediately after the war
and settled in Wilcox to plant cotton
He had made no pretence of practicing
law after that time. but as a young man
had qualified for the bar in the west
He became notorious as the author in
common with General Datus E. Coon.

inventor, Thomas II. Bartlett, to find
out a few years ago that it had the
property of filling" the hair into the

place to "stick to" it's support. Mr..
Bartlett describes his hair tonic as
consisting of pork fat, bean oil and
other specified ingredients, and de-
scribes with great particularly the
cooking of a very nice edible dish of
baked beans preparatory to complet-
ing the tonic. Thus in the descrip-
ton forming part of his. patent he
says: Il take three cups of common
white beans and three pounds of salt
pork. The beans are parboiled, and
then boiled with the pork for eight
hours, and then covered tight and
baked for twelve hours" With brown

Philadelphia has a one-legged knife
grinder who is particularly proud OF
his dog, and no wonder, for the intel
ligent animal aids him greatly in his
daily toll. 1t was formerly the man s
custom-his crippled condition pre-.
venting him from working the pedal
to pay stray youngsters to turn the
wheel for him.
This, of course, greatly curtailed
his profits; SO he set about training
a Newfoundland dog to do the duty
The canine pupil was apt, and is now
installed as the grinders regular as
sistant.
The grindstone is very small one
and, by standing on 81 box, the dog is
able to reach the handle and turn it
fast or slow, as his master desires.

First Aid From kinq Manuel.

King Manuel, in rendering first aid
to one of the audience at a Munich
theater, follows in the footsteps of his
ancestor, Louis Philippe. The king
of the French in his early youth
studied medicine and surgery at the
Hotel Dieu. He habitually carried a
lancet in his pocket, and said he had
found it useful on many occasions
in the course of his wandering life,
Even after he came to the throne
Louis Philippe's surgical knowledge
served him in good stead. In 1899 one
of his outriders was struck with
apoplexy on the road between Paris
and Compiegne, and the king bled him
most scientifically with his own hands.

MENTAL PROCESS OF WOMEN
Mistake to Assume That Because 1t
Seems So, the. Majority Of Sex
Thinks Specifically.

Take, for instance, the assumption
that most women think specifically
and with less logic than men, which
Is probably a fact Ward (Lester F)
avs they reach conclusions by intui-
ion, a sort of shortcut method evolv-
I'd by the emergencies of their lives.
Yet any woman knows from her child
hood that men prefer to do her think
ing for her, and will disapprove of
Ter if she sets up an opinion against
heirs. In primitive ages not only was
thinking unnecessary for woman, be-
rOnd the narrow range of her tradi-
tonal duties, but it was an actual i'm
oropriety.
Now, only genius, a reformer, or
4 mad person does what will be disap-
proved of. Until the last half century
marriage was the only career open to
gomen-a thinking woman was not
attractive to men-therefore the as
ute young woman either stopped rea-
sOning as far as possible when she
came to years of discretion, or con-
cealed her mental operations. Many
woman who attains her ends by
coquetry and hysteria is, like the par
rot who couldn't talk, "keepin' up a
1evil of a thinkin' all the while" and
will confide to another woman, who
is in the secret, a keen analysis of the
issue involved.-Mary Roberts Coo
