UNLoADED guns are as unsafe to handle as
loaded ones, for the simple reason man don't
know when tn are unloaded, especially if the
gun has been stored away for months. The
other day one of our merchants desired to go
out hunting ana lie picked up an old rusty,
double. barrelled shot gun, and put a clerk to
blowing into the muzzle. He placed himself
into the active duty of IA blacksmith's bellows,
and blowed and blowed, until the rush of blood
made his face la,lS like heated furnace. But
the gun kept its color and seemed to say your
blowing don't hurt me 'fworf a cent At last
the merchant tried his skill he put cap on
the tube and pulled the trigger The gun done
the blowing this time and, with more success
than the clerk, blowed a hole through the floor
and left splinters enough to kindle a fire. The
room was full of smoke and the merchant was
full of fear. That man didn't go hunting,
but if you had passed by that store shortly af-
forwards you could have heard the carpenters
busy making repairs.
