LIKED GOOD OLD FLINTLocK
At First That Form Of Firearm Was
Preferred to Samuel Cote
invention.

1t is now just 100 years since the
birth of Samuel Colt, who in 1927
shipped before the mast as q sailor
lad on the ship Cerlos bound from Bos-
ton to Calcutta. While ON that voyage
he whitfield out the wooden model ola
revolving pistol, says the Advance. z In
1885 he went abroad. again, this time
to secure patents in foreign countries
for his new pepper-box gun. Then he
returned to America and tried to In
terest 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
cess in the endeavor. The officers OF
the army frowned upon It, It would
not do. To be sure, 1t shot, and shot.
and shot, six times; but it used the
new percussion cap and not the good
old reliable flint ua
1t would not do to fndorse gun
which depended on anything less reli-
able than the good old nint. The old
time dintlock vas good enough for
them. It was good enough for Wash
ington, was good enough for grim Old
Hickory, for Tippecanoe and Tyler too,
and good enough for them. Had It 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
a barrel of money and built q factory
and made his revolvers and sold them
and grew rich and gave Hartford q
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 q park,
and Samuel Colt, who sold so many
revolvers that he had to get rid OF his
money in some way-BushneIl 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
a Colt revolver at the wrong time and
something has happened to him.
On July IS Hartford celebrated the
one hundredth anniversary Of the birth
of Samuel Colt A medal was struck
and 500 OF these were distributed In
honor CT the man who invented the
revolver. II we knew who invented
the fiintlock, he. too, might well de-
serve medal But what about the
men who would not believe in the re-
volver because it did not use flint
lock? Is there anyone who proposes
a medal for them?
Yet the good old fintlock has a glo-
rious place in American history

Representatives J. Hampton Moore
Of Pennsylvania and Frank w. Mon

inveterate takers in the house. They
can find a great deal to say on almost
any subject-and do. Both sit on the
Republican side Of the house. but each
is so eager to spread language over
the pages Of the Congressional Record
that they are constantly getting ia

HoteIs the Same the World Over


An American hotel manager has
spent seven weeks touring the Eu-
ropean hotels-which is all that some
seekers after pleasure can accomplish
without being paid for it. Says the
hotel nan:
Il made my first acquaintance with
plovers' eggs, which / was told cost
something like dollar apiece, and =
few other dishes not common to bills
OF fare over here. but in general 1
found that the eating in hotels was
pretty much on the same lines as here,
and that the standard OF what con-
stitused a first class hotel in Europe
and in the United States was pretty
much the same"
This is one of the things that makes
conventional travel without any def
mite object so deadly dull for inteIII-
gent people. People dress very much
alike at hotels in the temperate none.

Easter cards, The Murray Company

Saturday night, some scoundrel
tried to break in the little house
where lives "Aunt Carrie" the faith
full old colored servant of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Harris. The old woman
woke up and screamed, and some one
in the vicinity hearing her sent in a
fire alarm. The marauder left in a
hurry. 1t has been rumored that
aunt Carrie" has boarded up consid-
cradle money, and if she has she had
better put it in the bank.

Cross Knife and Fork In Reverence.
The old custom OF crossing the knife
an& fork after dining had it's origin,

PLANTATION in his new book, Chats on
Household Curios," In a spirit OF devo-
ton He quotes Browning:
Knife and fork he never lays
Crosswise, to my recollection,
As / do in Jesus praise"
I'm Russia" says Mr.. Burgess,
this custom OF the peasantry was
deep-rooted. and there they were care
full to take up the knife and fork and
lay them DOM on the plate crossed
before commenting their meager meal.
Strange to. say, that. although knives
and forks have bsen crossed in rever-
enee, tocross KNIT es has been deemed
unlucky. and to give a maiden a pair
OF scissors-two crossed blades-has
long been held by those who believe
In such signs as uuIucky"

fill her appointment this morning at

talk, taking as her subject Christian
Motherhood" Nearly forty ladies as
sembled for the meeting. She is the
wife of a Baptist minister and her
work has been largely along the lines
discussed. She is a woman of I'M
usually charming personality, excel
lent voice, and her talk was instruc-
tive and beneficial. Offering an op-
portunity for interested mothers to
ask questions, a general discussion

tower above the beautiful citrus trees
and the grove, 35 acres, is in the
heart of dense forest. The trees
are golden with fruit which will be
removed soon and the blooms are rap
idly coming out.
