History of the Gun.

Since the introduction Of gunpowder
as a propeller and the general use Of
firearms in warfare and hunting, there
has been more or less insistent de-
mand for mechanisms that would give
the soldier or hunter a number of
shots at his command without reload
ing, and enable them to be rapidly dis
charged. The first patent for a fire.
arm of this description seems to have
been issued by the British patent Of
fee in 171S. to James Puckle, a citi-
zen of London, for a gun mounted
upon tripod, having a single barrel
and a revolving cylinder. Strangely
enough, one of the claims set forth in
this patent appears almost verbatim,
1870 years later, in patent taken out
by Rollin White, an American invent
or of a revolving pistol. Another Gu
rious claim of the patent was:
The mechanism permits the use OF
square bullets against the Turk and
round bullets against Christians;
moreover. so great is the rapidity of
fire, that ships armed with the gun
cannot be boarded by an attacking
force. IS. j. Fort in the Outing Mag

MADE SOUTH
FEEL KINDER
TOWARDS TAFT
HIS SPEECH At ARLINGTON
Arlington and Gettysburg Nee
cas- in July, 1918
Washington Post.)

What the Washington Post said a
day or two ago in a leading editorial
about President Tafts great speech at
the Lotos Club, and also about the
President being much stronger with
the people of the whole country now
than before the election is very true"
said former Senator Marion Butler, of
North Carolina, at the Willard last
night But there are more people who
are praising and commenting upon the
Presidents speech made here last
week welcoming the United Daughters
of the Confederacy to the National
Capital Every expression that have
heard about that speech, and l have
heard many from both the North and
the South, agree it was the greatest
speech that the President has ever
made 1t was a wonderful occasion in
the history of our country, and it was
a wonderful address that met fully
the occasion.
"Col. William Jennings Bryan, who
was here, and who delivered the prin-
copal speech at the laying of the
ment at Arlington, has expressed the
same opinion. Col Bryan went from
here to the capital of my state to de-
liver one of his noted prepared lee
lures. He went outside of his manu-
script at Raleigh to say that President
Taft's speech on that occasion was the
greatest he had ever delivered, and
that it was well for the Democratic
party that it was made after the cleo
ton, for it would have had a profound
effect on the election"
When asked what he meant about it
being a wonderful occasion, Senator
Butler said:
THE Daughters of the Confederacy
were organized to care for the old,
needy Confederate soldiers and their
widows and to help educate their chill
dren, to build appropriate monuments,
and to keep straight and preserve
Southern history. When President
Taft was Secretary of War he granted
them permission to erect monument
to the Southern dead buried in the
Confederate circle at Arlington. The
Daughters have now raised the money
for a very handsome and imposing
monument, and it was peculiarly fit
ting that President Taft should well
come their national organization to
the National Capital, the first time
they have met out Of Dixie, to lay the
cornerstone of the monument.
There will be another important
milestone in our history when next
year this beautiful Confederate monu-
ment is unveiled. This will occur ON
July 3, 1913, the day before the fiftieth
anniversary celebration of the battle
of Gettysburg. Thousands upon
thousands of old Confederate soldiers,
who will be present at the unwilling
of this Confederate monument at Arl-
ington, are arranging to go in a body
from here to Gettysburg to attend the
fftieth celebration of that great battle,
the greatest in the history of the world
There is nothing in all history to
equal what occurred here in Washing
ton last week and what will occur at
Gettysburg next year. This is the
complete proof, if further proof was
forever united country under the
Stars and Stripes"

almost all the time.
We have said before I'm this paper
that there is an unusual amount Of
bronchial trouble now. and this is
because so many people neglect t.
There is no excuse for letting a

The proof of this fact is that rem

as It should be.

chronic bronchitis which 7 have had
