THE WORD GUN"
How Its Moaning Has Changed with
Modern Ordnance.

Evolution Of the word gun" forms
an interesting little story in an up-to-
date etymology. a dozen or SO years
ago we all understood gun to mean a
fowling piece-shotgun rs distln-
suished from rifle Or musket. Heavy
and light ordnance-in fact, all pieces
OF artillery. without regard 70 size
were known as cannon. That. Of
course. was IN the confines CT civiIiza-
ton, where people made an effort 10
sneak English. Out IN the frontier
the word gun WAS applied almost ex-
clus:vely TO pistols, and when a citizen
of Tombstone or DeadwoOd invited
another citizen to pull his gun" he
was understood to refer to the 4i-cali
bre instrument worn as chatelaine
belt ornament by everybody IN good
society In those localities. Nowadays
the nomenclature has curiously
changed. BY degrees the good old term
gun has become molopolized by the
long. slim. murderous machine that
constitutes our modern artillery. We
speak of Guick-tre guns, wire-wound
guns. automatic guns, e,ght-inch, ten
inch. twelve-inch guns. and the word
seems singularly aDrop0s. They are not
cannon. Cannon" Immediately sug-

tr~Rkishpe@s Of BOer Bullets.

The freakish performances OF the
Mauser bullets, as reported by sur
geons from South Africa, are almost
unbelievable. Letters received from
Mr.. Frederick Treves, the eminent
London surgeon now at the front.
speak of one bullet which entered the
top OF the head, passed down through
the brain into the mouth and finally
out at the side OF the neck A little
headache and slight squint In one eye
were the only perceptible effects, and
recovery was complete and rapid. In
many eases the abdomen, bowels and
liver have been penetrated almost
without inconvenience. Wounds pierre
ing the lungs often give rise to nothing
more than little blood-stained expec-
Grafton. In one phenomenal instance a
bullet entered just below the collar
bone, traversed the whole length OF tho
chest and body. emerging from the
inner side of the left thigh. without
effecting more than little temporary
shock.

MARRYING IN GERMANY.
Red Tape Americans Have tn Go Through

An unfortunate citizen o. south Da-

a while ago 10 wed the woman OF his
choice. The young couple were al

States. and four months elapsed be-
fore the marriage was permitted n
take place. The dilemma OF this cou-
pie has moved Mr.. Stern. our commer-
cial agent in ihe city o. Hamburg. to
give some advice and information TO
German citizans OF the land who con-
template marrying in the old country.
This advice appears in our consular re
ports which. IS rlle. deaf far moe

nonial interests. Ii appears that the
laws concerning the marriage of for

revised and more stringent regulations

authorities in tie foreign land mus

that they know OF no just cause Or in

a German consul. One or the other o.
these officials also must certify TO =

who had been tramping all around the

the surrounding country and satisfied
himself that there was plenty moro
such ore right there. He took the ore
to Bisbee and had it assayed. AS he
expected. 1t proved to be rich with
copper. He went back and dug in an
other place and took more samples TO
Bisbee. The assay was even more IA
vorable. All this time the outcropping
was in plain view OF other prospectors
passing through the neighborhood.

spot where he had picked up the ore,
and he interested Senator Penrose and
others IN the venture. Mining was be-

outset. Now the property is valued at
sevegal millions OF dollars. Think of
experienced prOspectors passing that
outcropping by the roadside time after
time and never stopping to inquire into
the real value OF the ore.

Tact is born with some men and
women, like the supple, delicate fingers
of the artists hand; and those who
have it use their gift instinctively. It
is not measured alike 10 those who
have it. Men possess it in different de-
grees, while others again are wanting
in it altogether. It IS the outcome OF
intellectual and temperamental quail
fications, and implies the possession OF
clear perceptions. quick imagination
and delicate sensibilities. 1t is these
that give the tactful person his subtle
intuition OF another's mental processes
and modes Of feeling, and in the same
amount exactly the right method OF
dealing with these.

when elected commander-in-chief OF
the Texan forces set to work putting
his army in shape. The war with Mex
leo followed shortly after, and on the
banks of the San Jacinto, Houston de-

the first president of the new republic
and two years later took the initial
steps toward securing the annexation
of Texas to the United States. When

matter, Houston. with characteristic
energy, began to coquette with France,

have a foreign power intrude on Amer

which gave him birth.
