It may not kill so many people but it certainly deafens to some extent, everybody who permits himself to be abroad on the Fourth It has peculiar crack in it's explosion that well-nigh punctures the ear drum, while making a report not nearly so loud as cannon cracker It does it's part of the maiming also. as in the case of the little Willis boy on Satur- day and moreover it is a more cOnven- tent weapon for the festive Fourth of July assassin who desires to creep up close and give his friend the scare of l his life.
