Revolvers

A revolver is a nickle-plated
substitute for bravery, which has
practically driven the original ar
ticle out of the market.
The revolver gives a puny man
with a 5-8-inch brain and the
pluck of a grasshopper a 100-yard
reach and makes him more deadly
than a Sioux Indian. There was
a time when this country had no
dangerous animals, except bears
and wolves, and life was safe, ex-
cept on the frontiers, but now
vast hordes of 16-year-old boys
who use their skulls for a dime
novel bookcase, roam the streets
with cigarettes in their face and
portable cannon in their pockets,
producing obituaries with the
skill and enthusiasm of a cholera

possible to meet a personal enemy
who has been chasing you for a
week, and who is reluctantly com
PEELED to defend himself when he
