Look Ont for the Toy Pistols.

From the New York Herald
The small boy will own New York tomor-
row.
Without wishing to mar his pleasure, a
word of warning Is necessary touching the
use of the toy pistol.
Scores of children whose hands were
wounded by the explosion of these imitation
firearms last year were seized with lock-
Jaw and died.
One death from this cause has already
be reported from Yonkers. where thirty
little ones died last year as a result of
wounds from these weapons.
Let the small boy have good time on
the glorious Fourth, but keep an eye out
for the toy pistol.
