Tho Critic Answered.

An acute critic calls attention to
what he styles an inelegance in lead
Ing article of The Pilot. 1t is that in
which the following sentence occurs:
And Paul said, But was born SO. "
We are sorry it is inelegant, but it must
stand as 1t is, for it happens to be the
exact words of the New Testament
chapter xii. verse 90, Of the Acts OF the
Apostles. The Pilot never tries to i'm
prove upon the language Of holy writ.
Some afternoon when we have reformed
all the wrongs in the world and point
ed out all the faults Of all our neighbors
for their reformation we may sit down
and revise the New Testament, but IL
will not be this year nor next year.
Somew here along ABOUT 1908 we shall
inaugurate these important reforms

cess must dance we'll, be up in the
subjects Of the day, have a thorough
knowledge of the Cuban campaign, par
ticularly Of the engagements in which
her prospective cotillion partners took
part. She must play golf and be con-
versant with the sports and amuse-
ments of her brothers and their friends,
as well as play tennis and know how
to preside with grace at an afternoon
tea table. Theoretically, she must
know something of music and art, even
though, in the language of a debutante
of two seasons ago, she would rather
listen to a thunderstorm than go to a
Wagner opera. She must know French.
German, and If possible, Italian al
most as well as her native English,
which she must speak with the accent
of Boston rather than Philadelphia If
she wishes to be very smart, and she
must have a disposition to be amiable

when to listen and always be courteous

WILD WEST PISTOL,
Style Used in the Cow Country Not
Pretty, but Effective.

style Used in the Cow Country Not
Pretty, but Effective.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
One Of the big frontier six-shooters
used by the rough riders at the charge
Of San Juan hill attracts a good deal
OF attention in the window Of an up-
town store, 1t is a type Of weapon al
most peculiar to the West-single-ac
ton, forty-fve caliber, with a barrel
eight inches long and q wooden handle.
The real cowboy and veteran miner
will carry nothing else. Both despise
double-action or self-cocking pistol.
and in the Cow country it is COM
mon thing for ranchmen to take out
the triggers Of their six-shooters and
ire them by manipulating the hammer
with the thumb. To see an expert do
this is to witness a pretty piece of Jug
Cling. Another oddly of frontier re-
Volve1 etiquette is in the way the wea-
pom is carried. Many cowboys sling
1t In a holster on the right hip, with
the handle pointing outward. 1t is
drawn with curious circular sweep
and comes UP cooked and ready for
business. More than one "tenderfoot'
has bored a hole through himself in
attempting to acquire this particular
bit Of legerdemain- d
