LIKED GOOD OLD FLINTLocK
At First That Form OF Firearm Wac
Preferred to Samuel coIt's
Invention.

1t is now Just 100 years since the
birth OF Samuel Colt. who in 1927
shipped before the mast as sailor
lad on the ship Corlo, bound from Bos-
ton to Calcutta. While on that voyage
he whitfield out the wooden model of a
revolving pistol, says the Advance. In
1886 he went abroad again. this time
to secure patents In foreign countries
for his new perper-box gun. Then he
returned to America and tried to in
terest the government of the United
States In a weapon which could be
loaded on Sunday and shot all the
week But he had no immediate sue
cess in the endeavor. The officers of
the army frowned upon it. 1t would
not do. To be sure. 1t shot. and shot,
and shot. six times; but 1t used the
new percussion cap and not the good
old reliable flint.
1t would not do to indorse q gun
which depended on anything less reli.
able than the good old flint. The old.
time flintlock was good enough for
ington, was good enough for grim Old
Hickory, for Tippecanoe and Tyler too,
and good enough for them. Had 1t not
served our country In the past? And
what reason had we to expect that
the future could be saved otherwise !?
So Colt and his new six-shooting gun
met with little favor in Washington.
But Mr.. Colt learned the secret OF
nitrous oxide and went around the
country as Doctor Colt" giving lee.

gas" to his audiences, and he took in
barrel of money and built factory
and made his revolvers and sold them
and grew rich and gave Hartford a
| park.
Two men secured parks for Hart
ford, Horace Bushnell, who, having no
money, preached and pleaded an
stirred up public sentiment till the
people taxed themselves to buy park
and Samuel Colt, who sold so many
revolvers that ne had to get rid of his
money in some way-Bushnell park
and Colt park-there they are!
1t was the laughing gas that secured
the money, but often it has been no
laughing matter. For every now and
then somebody has gotten In front OF
Colt revolver at the wrong time and
something has happened to him.
On July 10 Hartford celebrated the
one hundredth anniversary of the birth
Of Samuel Colt. A medal was struck
and 500 of these were distributed in
honor of the man who invented the
revolver. II we knew who invented
the fintlock, he, too, might we'll de
serve medal Bus what about the
men who would not believe In the re
volver because it did not use flint
lock? Is there anyone who proposes
medal for them?
Yet the good old fiintlock has glo
rious place in American history.
