LIKED GOOD OLD FLINTLOcK
At First That Form of Firearm was
Preferred to Samuel colt's
Invention.

1t is now Just 100 years since the
birth of Samuel Colt, who in 1927
shipped before the mast as O. sailor
lad on the ship Coro bound from Bos-
ION to Calcutta. While on that voyage
ne whitfield out the wooden model of
revolving pistol, says the Advance. In
1885 he went abroad again, this time
10 secure patents in foreign countries
,or his new pepper-box gun. Then he
returned to America and tried to in
.erest the government of the United
States In weapon which could be
loaded on Sunday and shot all the
week. But he had no immediate sue
Tess 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
bid reliable flint.
It would not do to indorse a gun
which depended on anything less reli-
able than the good old flint. The old
time fiintlock was good enough for
hem. 1t was good enough for Wash
lngton, was good enough for grim Old
Hickory, for Tippecanoe and Tyler too.
md 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
lures and administering Laughing
gas" to his audiences, and he took in
barrel of money and built a factory
md made his reyolvers and sold them
and grew rich and gave Hartford a
park. ~ 81
Two men secured parks for Hart
lord, 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 he had to get rid of his
money in some way-Bushnell park
sAAA WV pol bACy dI0t
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
1 Colt revolver at the wrong time and
something has happened to him.
On July 10 Hartford celebrated the
,ne 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
svrory-r. II we knew who invented
the fintlock, he, too, might we'll de-
serve a medal. But what about the
men who would not believe in the re-
volver because it did not use a flint
lock? Is there anyone who proposes
! medal for them?
Yet the good old flintlock has a glo-
rious place in American history.

Cream PIE.

A cream and banana pie ia very
rich, but 1t has only one crust and
so has a minimum of the least desir.
able element of pies. To make 1t heat
together in a granite saucepan the
mashed pulp of two very ripe bananas
with the yolks Of three eggs. beaten;
sugar and nutmeg to taste, heaping
teaspoonful of butter and enough milk
and sherry, or just milk, to make a
thin mixture. Pour 1t into deep dish
lined with crust and then fold in the
whites of two eggs, beaten stiff. Bake
rather slowly, chill and serve with or
without whipped cream.

ouEsrIoNs AND ANSWERS

Q-I have a hen that has been walk
ing lame for several days. She has a
large swelling on the bottom of her
foot. Can you tell me what is the mat
ter with her and what / must do to
cure it?
A-This hen is evidently suffering
from what is known as Bumble-foot.
This ailment is usually caused by jump
ing upon hard floors from distance.
Possibly yours roosts are too high and
the bird has injured her foot in jumping
from them to the floor. Bumblefoot
verv much resembles a stone bruiseS $50
frequently seen on the feet of lads who

sharp knife which has been sterllzed'
and squeeze out the pus. Put into the
sore carbolated vaseline and bind up to
keep out the dirt. Apply this for two
or three days. Now remove the cause.
If the roosts are too shigh. lower them.
If YOU are convinced that this is not the
fault. then put good soft litter on the
floor for the birds to light on.
