How to Carry q Gun.

There are only two directions IN
which the muzzle of n gun can safely be
pointed; these are up or down. A shot
fired in air. can scarcely injure any
one or anything and one discharg-
ed into the ground is equally harm
less. Therefore, in all the different
positions which the gun assumes, see
that it is pointed either up or down.
Sometimes a man will be seen who
carries his gun reversed, holding it by
the muzzle while the fore end rests
ON the shoulder and the stock projects
behind. Happily, this practice is not
common, for it is extremely dangerous,
and many men have been killed by
carrying their guns in this way If a
man stumbles or steps in a hole or
catches his foot on root and falls, his
gun will very likely be thrown for
ward with the muzZle directly toward
his body and may easily enough be dis
charged.
Sometimes one may see a boy or
even a man who will carry the gun
across the back of the neck, with one
arm over the stock and the other over
the barrels, sometimes with the hand
resting on the muzzle. This is certain
to give a very uncomfortable feeling
to any one who happens to be walking
by the side of the person carrying his
gun in this fashion and opposite the
muzzle end. While the danger of n
discharge is perhaps not great, it is I'M
pleasant to be walking along with a
gun pointed at your neck or head

WHERE LOVE MUST REIGN SUPREME

WHERE LOVE MUST kEICRH SURE ID 4
Minnesota law makers are now
searching for fame. 1t is proposed to
regulate marriage, to prevent matri-
monial alliances between the sick, or
between the sick and the well. In
fact, it is planned to legislate for pos
terity and to cut path for a race of
physical and mental giants.
We have in mind a picture of q
strong man, full of vitality, who was
attracted to q bit of woman, frail,
not handsome in face or figure, but
blessed with great eyes that showed a
soul too big for half nourished body
that was sick and ever could get
well. And the man loved the little
woman. From her he gained ambi-
ton, courage. sympathy, trust.
Through her he was more quick to
detect sorrow and assuage suffering,
and his whole world conferred about
her. When the time came that he
could make her his wife there was no
thought in his mind except that she
was the most beautiful woman on
earth, who had glorified his life by
sharing his home.
That is not romance. 1t is true
story of two hearts. 1t is repeated
every hour. 1t is what makes MONIES
happy, and the legislature that at
tempts to regulate love will have to
settle with the people.
Throw all the safeguards possible
about marriage. Make it impossible
for children to wed, but never enact a
law that will make marriage less an
affair of the heart that it is today.
Once upon time France took a
hand in matters that are purely re-
lated to home and marriage, and the
result is a warning to the world.

what Our FLAG stands For.

Wherever the American flag is raised in
token of sovereignty, it stands for liberty,
independence and equality. What our flag is
to the nation, Hostetters Stomach Bitters is
to the individual, inesmuch as it not only gives
you freedom from your ailments. but protects
your system in such manner that they can
not return. When your stomach gets out of
order, causing you to belch after eating, or
when you are so nervous that you toss about
all night, unable to sleep, you should GER
tainly try it, because it will strengthen your
stomach, ste ady your nerves and induce
sound healthy sleep, aud for indigestion, con-
stipation and biliousness, there is nothing to
equal it, Rheumatism is also counteracted
by It's direct action on the kidneys.
