CooL.-Some weeks ago one of our
Seattle merchants put an attachment
on some property belonging to one
of his creditors. When the consta-
BILE went to serve the writ he went
along to see that all was right. Ar
irving on the premises of the credit
or, that individual was found paying
a great deal Of attention to reyol-
yer. The merchant who we will call
major, not liking the looks of the
shooting iron. said: Young man,
it looks very bad for young man
like you to flourish revolver at an
old man like myself" The creditor
hesitated, then put up the weapon.
remarking: DO you know what I
could do? I could blow hole right
through you if 1 wanted to- The
major, who has heard the whistle of
bullets, replied very coolly, :" I am
well aware that you can shoot me.
but I am perfectly certain that you
will not do anything of the kind. :"
And this is another proof that only
towards go armed, Of course except
ing those who must carry arms in
the discharge Of their regular duties.
