How to Handle a Gun. =
sA~sf

The first thing you do when you 60
out cunning with another boy is to
guard against accident. The best way
to do this is to shoot the other boy be-
fore he has time to load his gun. Then
take both guns to the nearest creek
and throw them in. Throw the pow
der and shot in after them. If you
have any matches about your clothes
throw them in also. Then start at
once and go home as fast as ever you
can. And ifyou are under Is years young,
the chances are, even with these pre-
cautions. you will get both legs and a
section of your back full of bird shot
before you reach home.
"How?"
Goodness only knows how, nv son,
don't 1 often wondered how it did
happen, but L never could ascertain. l
am not here to advance ingenious the
ories. but merely to state cold facts.
and know it 10 be a solemn truth that
a boy with a single-barreled gun twice
as long as himself, can manage some
how TO shoot himself in more places at
once than man can do with a seven
shooter revolver. ''And am l going to
buy you gunP" Yes, l am; some
time in the long vacation when time
hangs heavily on my hands. and I
think ] would enjoy entertaining you by
picking shot out of your leg with nut
pick. "
But you will be very careful with
it?"
So is a woman very careful with an
umbrella. my son. and yet science is
unable to account for the startling in
crease of one-eyed men every summer.
