PROPOSES PISTOL
 CARRYING REMEDY

A remedy TOT the Tullidiliy habit of carrying pistols and other deadly weapons which are forbidden by law to be carried is easy of discovery and applica- ton and the enactment of such remedy is imperativeiy demand ed in Texas.
 The remedy is >i ply to amend the law of homicide so far as It sets forth the grounds and causes which excuse or justify tie act by adding in substance this pro- vision to the law as set forth in Article 675 ct seq of the pen- al code:
 Provided, however, that when 1t appears from the teStl. mony that the homicide was com mitted or the assault was made with weapon unlaWfully car-i- ed, such fact shall have the ef- feet to 50 limit and impair the defendants s right of self-defense that 1t matters not to what eX- t.emity he may have been brought in the conflict, or under what circumstances the homi- eide or assault was committed, his act shall be deemed to be un- lawful. and shall b murder in one degree or the other, or man. slaughter, according to the cir cumstances of the case. /"
 This phrasing may not be en- tirely felieitious, but 1t suffiei- ently indicates the idea intended to be conveyed.
 Such an amendment would be no radical departure in law, be- cause 1t is nov and has long been the law. repeatedly adjudicated by the courts of last resort, that fl a man designedly provokes or brings on a difficulty with intent to intiict any injury upon another party, and by reason of his con- duct a difficulty is brought on and in the course, of 1t the party so provoking the difficulty kills his antagonistspefore he (the de- fendant) has withdrawn in good faith from the affray, and is seeking to avoid luther conflict, the act of killing is unlawful, it matters not to what extremity of danger the defendant was reduc- ed in the course of a conflict so provoked by himself.
 This is good sense and gcod law because no man could justly be allowed to take advantage of his own wrong by pleading self de- fense when he had which made the act of killing necessary.
 His light of self-defense i. limited.and impaired, or in legal sense taken from him, because ne was in the first instance in the wrong by violating the law.
 Now apply this principle to the unlawful carrier of deadly weapons.
 As soon as he puts deadly weopon on his person when not authorized to carry it, he is a violator of law. and upon the principal above illustrated, when he takes human life or has com mitted any offensc against law with weapon, he bas forfeited his right to plead self-defense and is estopped to do so. Because when he committed the offense he was a defiant violator of law and was armed in contemptous defiance of the statutes forbid ding such carrying of weapons.
 Such an amendment can be easily enacted. Because the line and list of homicides in Texas, which is daily len gthing, has ar oused public sentiment that pitch that the legislature does not re- fuse to enact it.

HOW TO PREPARE
 XMAS SHIPMENTS

Do you expect to send your mother. sweetheart, or friend a Christmas present this year. If so, you will find it necessary to patronize some Express Com pany, is would be well to bear in mind the following suggestions submitted by an Expressman:
 1st.-Ship your package early, by the 18th of December if pos sible The Express Company will give you J small label to paste on the package reading: Don't open until Christmas. ]" This will insure the package reaching its destination before Christmas and give the addition al pleasure to the recipient of the gifts of having them on Christmas morning.
 End. Use wooden boxes for packing. Glass or fragile arti- cles should be well protected. It may cost a few cents more. but the danger of loss or damage is very much reduced. True. il the shipment is lost or damaged the Express Company will pay for it, but that will give your friend no pleasure.
 3rd. Write the address in full. state, county, city street. number, on the OK or package with ink, or crayon. Tags are frequently torn off and lost.
 4th. If you want to prepay the charges, write the word Paid" in large plain letters on the package.
 Eth. Insist on a receipt and see that the amount paid is marked on the receipt and pack age, and the value of the pack age declared thereon.
 9th. Write your own address in full somewhere on the pack age, following the prefix From
 7th. Enclose a card on each box or package reading:
 From --- Your
 ----------, address
 To Consignee's
The Nevada County picayune., 1910-12-09

This in order that should the outer markings be destroyed, the inner mark will insure prompt forwarding and delivery.
 8th. If not convenient to ship in wooden boxes, use strong wrapping paper (not newspaper and tie with strong cord.
 9th. If package contains any, thing of perishable nature, write the word "Perishable" in large plain letters on the box, or pack. age. to insure special attention ard first delivery.
 If you will observe these sug- gestions, you will greatly assist in insuring the prompt delivery of your gift in good condition.

HARMLESS AILMENT
CAUSES TROUBLE
Man Is Hurried About the
City in Ambulance for
Some Time.

The resemblance of tonsiiltis to diph-
liberia, caused great excitement Satur-
day night, and a prolonged ambulance
ride for A f. McKelvey, a grooming
house lodger.
Authorities at Hotel Dieu received a
call from an FL Paso street roomine
house, and at once dispatched the hos
pital ambulance On its arrival with
McKelvey, who was suffering from some
acute throat ailment, an examination
disclosed suspicion of diphtheria- AS
there is no contagious ward at the hos
pital, the case was refused.
However, nurse was dispatched TO
the rooming house, some medicine sent
for and a physician summoned. But
the lodging house proprietor refused
to receive the sick man, probably fear
ing ontagion- After much delay the
police obtained permission to send the
man to the county hospital.
McKelvey is much improved this
morning. His case was diagnosed as
acute tonsilar trouble, more painful
than dangerous.
