Four Excellent Rules for Pulling A Gun
in the Wilds of Nevada.

Four Excellent Rules for Pulling A Gun
in the Wilds of Nevada.
81 think the general education OF
young men is being sadly neglected in
this State" SAID an old sport in front OF
Sweeny's. ''In every well-conducted
university there should De a professor
90 teach the boys the use Of the Six
shooter. There are rules regarding
gun-pulling that every Western nan
ought to know. Just put Rundown and
publish 'em in your paper:
"First-Never pull a gun.
"Second-If you do pull, be dead sure
that the time has come to pull it.
"Third-Pull quick, with no flour
tshcs.
"Fourth-Keep banging at your man
till he lies down and Tlits.
''These rules ought to be pasted in
every mans hat. If people would al
ways observe this schedule there would
be a good deal less trouble. Take, for
instance, some young man who thinks
he is insulted and wants to shoot some
body, or scare somebody, or make
a general ass of himself. He takes a
step forward with a melo-dramatic
stride, strikes a position and begins to
make tlourishes for his hip-pocket.
Then he pulls his gun and begins to do
hlagree work in the air. While he is

doing the scollops as il he were on the

doing the scollops as il he were on the
stage, the other fellow quietly pulls, lets
60 and sends the lead through him.
Then they pack him to the coroner and
find that he was killed in self-defense.
"Now, you see, if he had observed
rule No. l, he would have been alive to-
day, or, after violating rule one, if he
had observed the proposition laid down
IN rules three and fonr, he might have
been alive-mebbe, or at least if he was
dead the other fellow might have been
dead, too. At.least he has a chance of
securing more points out of a possible
two.
ga s~low-handed mar had better not
monkey with a border gun. You must
be quick-witted and aforementioned.
A second isn't long, but it is about all
the margin you can reasonably expect
out West when the street duel opens.
You must be entirely for yourself. I
have known several good men to be laid
out, becSDse they stopped a couple of
seconds to calculate if any one in tho
crowd would get hit if they fired. The
other fellow ignored the crowd and is
alive and well to-day, holding a lucra-
tive office.
Sometimes YOU stop to think of q
mans wife and children. This is Il good
idea, and speaks we'll for a mans hui
mainly, but not so much for his iudg-
ment. After you throw your hand back
and touch the handle of your gun, it is
too late to consider the woman and the
kids. Many a man has considered this
before he sent his hand back and
spared many a life; but after the
motion to draw, you must only think
how you can pump the lead into the
other man, for you can bet high he will
begin right away pumping it into you.
If there is a post or dry-goods box ear
get to it. You can display lots of nerve
standing out in an open space, but you
don't display much sense. A dead hero
isn't much account a few days after he's
dead. Some of the nerviest men that
ever walked get behind a post the min
ute the ball opens. The best idea is to
go without a gun at all. You hardly
hear Of a man getting shot who doesn't
have the reputation Of packing guns. If
you have no gun you won't get too
sassy, and if you have a little row down
town you amt so likely to be hauled
home on Bray's express wagon.
L-"If | had the say 1 would pass a law
abolishing guns (of course, when 1 use
the word gun, it is the sporting phrase
for six-shooter); but so long as guns 90
everybody ought to know something
about their use, and more especially
how to use 'em. "-Carson (Neu.) Ap-
peal.

My Christian friends, have we a right to
delegate to others the discharge of this
duty which God demands of us? Suppose
tina Jour woodthrushes propose to do all
the singing some bright day when the
woods are ringing with bird voices. 1t is
decided that four woodthrushes shall do
all the singing of the forest. Let all other
voices keep silent. How beautifully the
four warbled! 1t is really fine music. But
how long will you keep the forest still?
Wby. Christ would come into that forest
and look up as he looked through the
olives, and he would wave his hand and
saw: "Let every thing that hath breath
praise the Lord" and keeping time with
the stroke of innumerable wings there
would be five thousand bird voices leaping
into the harmony. Suppose this delega-
ton of musical performers were tried in
Heaven; suppose that four choice spirits
should try to do the singing of the upper
temple. Hush now, thrones and do
minions and p~rincipalities. David, be
still, though you were the sweet
singer of Israel" Paul, keep
quiet, though you have come to that crown
| of rejoicing. Richard Baxter, keep still,
thoueh this is the "Saints' Everlasting
Rest.n -Four spirits now do all the sing

quiet? How long? "Hallelujah" would
cry some glorifed Methodist from under
the altar. "Praise the Lord!" would sing
the martyrs from among the thrones.
