front Of Sweeny's. 'Iu every well
conducted university there should
he Professor to teach boys the
use Of the six-shooter. There are
rules regarding gun pulling that ev
cry Western man ought, to know
Just put EN- down aud publish EN-
in your paper"
First-Never pull Il gun.
Second-If you do pull, be dead
sure that the time has come TO
pull it.
Third Pull quick, with no -four
ishes.
Fourth-Keep banging at your
man till he lies down and quits
These rules ought to be pasted
in every mans hat Ii people
would always observe this schedule
there would be a good deal less
trouble. Take for instance some
young man who thinks he is in
suited and wants to shoot some
body, or scare somebody, or make
general ass Of himself. He takes
step forward with a melodramatic
stride, strikes a position, and be
gins to make fourishes for his hip
pocket. Then he pulls his gun
and begins to do iilagree work in
the air. While he is dong the
scollops like he was On the stage,
the other fellow quietly pulls, lets
go, and sends the lead through him.
Then they pack him to the Coroner
and find that he was killed in self
defense.
CHOW you see, if he had observed
rule No. l he would have been alive |
today, or, after violating rule one,
if he had observed the PROPOSE
lions laid down in rules three and |
four he might have been alive
mebbee, or at least if he was dead |
the other fellow might have been
lead too. At least he has chance
IF securing more points out Of a
possible two.
A slow handed man had better
not monkey with a border gun.
7 ou must be quick witted and
Iuick motioned. A second isn't
ong. but it is about all the margin
-ou can reasonably expect out
Vest when the street duel opens.
, ou must be entirely for yourself
have known several good men to
'e laid out because they stopped
ouple Of seconds to calculate if
ny one in the crowd would get hit
he fired. The other fNow, you
ee, ignored the crowd and is alive
nd well today, holding a lucrative
flee under the present Admins
ration.
Sometimes you stop to think of a
IAN 5 wife and children. This is "a
God idea, and speaks we'll for a
,an's humanity, but not so
luch for his Judgment. After you
brow your head back and touch
he handle Of the gun, it is too
tie to consider the women or the
ids. Many a man has considered
MS before he sent his hand back,
nd spared many a life; but after
le motion to draw, you must only
mink Of how you can pump the
,ad into the other man, for you
an bet high he will begin right away s
umping it into you. If there is a
ost or a dry goods box near, get =
, it. You can display lots OF ,
erve standing out in an open !;
pace but you don't display much !,
,nse. A dead hero ism t much ac- e
,unt a few days after he's dead. i
Dme of the nervieSt men that ,
yer walked get behind a post the u
mute the ball opens. The best /
ca is to go without a gun at all. =
gu hardly ever hear of a man get 7
ng shot who don't have the repu- >
ton of packing guns. If you E
avo no gun you won't get so sassy,
I'd if you have little row down
wn you amt so likely to be
luled home On Bray's express +,
agon.
eff I had the say | would pass a
" abolishing guns; (of course,
hen | use the word gun, it is the a
PORTING phrase for six-shooter) S
