The present time
To the Editor Of The Free Press
A soldier at Fort Ethan Allen told
me the other day about 3 soft iron cap
that is put on the point Of solid shot TO
increase their penetrating power He
called 4, the johnson cap" and added
that johnson was Swede, |, may

"Swede" His name was Isaac John
son. He had large steel foundry at
Spuyten Duvil, N. " His four sons
still continue the business The firm
made shot for the War Of '6l, and for
the Spanish War. II was one Of their
shot that went crashing through a
Spanish ship from end to end at San
tago. No purer or more loyal Amer
leans from way back can be found.
Now about this cap; Mr.. Johnson
noticed that when a nail is driven
through thin piece Of soft wood laid
on an oak timber it goes straight into
the oak, but II you try 10 drive il into
the dry oak il will crumplc and bend.
II occurred TO him that something Of
that sort might help a solid shot to
penetrate steel armor-so he screwed
a cap Of soft iron containing lubri-
cant on to the point of the shot. This
he found made the shot more effective.
! have seen in his factory solid shot

inches long that had been through IA

the little cap, instead of lessening the
range Of the gun under any given
charge Of powder, rather increased it.
Mr.. Johnson went TO England and
Germany with his invention. The
Germans tried 1t but they would not
let him see the trial. Our government
paid him for his invention.
Mr. johnson was deacon in the
Baptist Church at Yonkers, N. Y. His
pastor once asked him how he recon-
ciled his positin with the warlike occu-
patton. He replied that he thought
the safeguard of peace was prepare
ton for war.
No, he was not Swede.

PRESERVATION OF OUR DEER


Looking ai the matter In an al
around way commercially as well A.
acsthctically. our Wild deer are among
the best assets Of our state and thoir
lives should be guarded 70 the utmost
degree Of consistency. No matter il
they do occasionally get into AN or
chard or garden; the woodchucks do
ten times the damage they do and no,
trap Il SGT for them. although such
setting Is sure 20 capture them.
As rule, those who are shooting
our deer upon the pnetense Of crop
eating are just aching for some excuse
and woud not lit finger TO keep the
deer away and thus avoid being shot
Every regular, permanent garden
should have fence anyway and the
cheapest and best looking kind Of
fence is one that costs the least and
will keep the deer as well as cattle
well away--a four foot woven wire
set up foot from the ground, or bet
ter yet six foot set down tight to the
ground, which latter will keep out
rabbits and woodchucks also, as well
as squirrels. Deer do not jump fences
Of any common height.
But, as for me, although deer con-
sumo none Of my crops, ! would like
TO have the privilege Of feeding them.
would even be willing to plant some
thing upon purpose for them to con-
sumo. No other creatures that grow
mot excepting many of the human
kind are more beautious, graceful
and fascinating. Just watch the ex-
IRENE grace of their bounds or look
into one of their big bulging eyes, and
If you have a spark of manhood about
you you will not desire to blot that
eye out!
You can bet upon one thing and that
is that when the ladies come into
equal power with the men, politically,
as they are sure soon to do, there will
be but few deer killed thereafter
even though they should occasionally
chew off cabbage head. Next to the
last session of the legislature a bill
came up for final passage in the House
of Representatives which had even
been reported favorably by the Fish
and Game House Committee allowing
the killing of little fawns, as well as
does, during the hunting season. As
a matter of course | had some remarks
TO make upon a subject like that. The
House was well filled, ladies FREEDOM
mating in the galleries and upon the
front rows Of seats upon the floor. !
arose and defied any member present
to stand up and advocate the killing Of
little fawns in the presence Of these
ladies' and not a member arose and not
a single vote was cast for the bill !!
So you see that there is such thing |
as decency and common sense, espec-
ially when the ladies are around.
If we truly desire to make our state
a center of attraction for those from
abroad, then we must do our utmost |
to preserve our deer even though |
hey should occasionally consume a
little Of our produce.
