Lifting the Hat.

The custom of lifting the hat had It's
origin during the age of chivalry, when
it was customary for knights never to
appear in public except in full armor,
says an exchange 1t became u custom,
however, for n knight, upon entering an
assembly Of friends, to remove his he'll
met, signifying: 81 am safe in the pres
cncc Of friends" The age of chivalry
passed away with the fifteenth cen
fury, but among the many acts OF cour-
tcsy which can bc traced back to its in
fiuencc none are more direct in its ORR
gin than that Of lifting the hat to ac-

RICHARD j. GATLING.
Tho Man Who Invented the Fa-
nous Machine Gun.
lie Manifested ut an Early Ago Signs of
Inventive Gcnius-IIow He Acquired
the Tito of doctor His
Latest Inventions.

Richard Jordan Calling was horn in
Hartford county, n. c., September IL,
1915, and manifested at IN early are
signs Of the inventive genius which was
to characterize his future. He re-
ccived, says the Mechanical News,
q common-echool education, and spcnt
several years in trade Us general
storekeopcr In his native state. In 1913
he invented the first wheat drill in
America, and introduced the use of it
in the west, teaching the farmers the
art, before unknown to them, of SOW
ing wheat In drills During trip on
the Ohio river very serious misadvcn-
ture befel him. He took the smallpox,
and the boat on which he was n passcn-
ger being frozen in, he was without
medical aid for nearly two weeks, and
came near losing his life from neglect.
With this experience in mind, and with
O view solely to minister to his own
necessities in the future, he studied
medicine for several years, and thus
acquired the title of doctor But,
though the prefix remained, us
we'll as the professional knowledge
accumulated in his studies, his chief
line of thought and inquiry soon took Il
different direction.
In 1861 he conceived the idea of q mo-
chine gun, which at once attracted at
tention by it's novelty and successful
working. He was then living in In
dianapolis His first gums were made
i'll Cincinnati, and as they were Just
ready for delivery they were destroyed
by fire in the establishment Of Miles
Greenwood e Co., who manufactured
them for him. The patterns were also
destroyed This was great loss, but
the inventor, nothing dauntcd, at once
effected an arrangement with the Gin
cinnati type foundry, who made the
first lot OF guns for sale. A part of
these were purchased by Gen. Butler
and used by him in 1854. No attempt
was ever made by Dr.. Calling to keep
his invention q secret, and in conse-
quencc host of imitators sprang up.
The French ''Initraillcuse" was no
doubt the product of ideas furnished
the French government from drawings
and data sent them by Dr. Calling in
1868, and negotiations then commenced
with that government, being broken off
by our civil war. However, the cele-
brated ''Gatling gun" has been sue

the tremendous pressure from the ,lelud-

The result is astonishing. He not only

The liquor traffic is not simply

all questions of private morals

suggests as a means OF putting
down the liquor evil could with
lust as much consistency be used As
the proper way to suppress any OF
the other vices that atfiict society.
Would Mr.. Keller say to the
good people of Louisiana-many of
whom are of his religious faith
when lately they proposed TO put
down the Louisiana battery, that
the right way to kill that lottery
was for all Christians to hold two
years council and come together on
some ecumenical omnibus creed or
platform and crush out that lottery
by abstaining from buying tickets
in it?
One of the best Christian women
lever knew, who has lately died
and gone to Heaven, if anybody
does, who was kind to the poor,
and used her money to make others
happy, was born and reared down
in that southern country, and
bought tickets in the Louisiana
lottery with no more conjunction
about it than the average Lexington
lady would have in buying a ticket
to our big stock fair, and with not
half as much as our ladies must feel
in buying tickets to the races
Still Mr.. Keller would doubtless
agree with me, that the suppression
Of the Louisiana lottery was right.
But if this lady's religion, as a
member of the church as it now is,
did not restrain her from buying
lottery tickets, what assurance
could Mr.. Keller have that an al
lance of her church with all the
others would have that effect p
What force could such an alliance
add to the present New Testament
teaching on that subject?
But I think it was fortunate
that this very circuitous plan tor
suppressing that lottery was not
adopted by the people who under,
took to suppress it. They went
at it through the instrumentality
of the the law just as the Prohi-
bitionists are trying to suppress
the liquor iniquity and now the
louisiana Lottery is done with,
it's evil influence all gone, its
whole case most etfectually dis
posed of, and we are ready to get
rid of something else; while
according to Mr.. Keller's plan we
would be two years yet before we
could agree upon a schedule for
putting down the louisiana
Lottery, with an immense prob
ability that his scheme would not
work when he got it completed.
Mr.. Keller's argument is that
these great moral revolutions can
not be enforced until the people
are educated up to the point OF
approving of them. OF course
We do not expect to enforce Pro-
