SPEAKING OF ACCIDENTS.
By C. L. GILMAN

Too many small children kill, or are killed, with firearms. There's no getting around this fact, and no use trying to disguise it.
 The one remedy, suggested entire ly by member of both sexes who don't own any guns and don't want to, is-of course-the good old rem edy for the other fellows vices, abolish 'em.
 Aside from it's manifest unfair ness, this remedy is under the fur ther dafect that it would meet with prompt opposition on the part of those adversely affected by it, said parties being the folks best equipped to make their arguments felt as we'll as heard.
 The other remedy, like vaccina- tion, is a precentive one, applied to the child himself. Though painful for the moment, the effect is com plete and lasting.
 After many years the writer still remembers vividly his own inocula- tion. It was hot August after noon. We were thinly dressed, as became the season. Father. deeming the prairie chickens about "ripe"- this being the golden age before the game laws began to bind-was oil ing up his double-barrel. The old fuzee was in sections, and the stock, with it's hammers and triggers, struck us as something in the gun line which about fitted us.
 Inevitably, father impressed us as good target.
 "Cut that out" he ordered, or the mid-eighties' equivalent of the same.
 'Tain't dangerous" we counter ed.
 Always is."
 Not now"
 "Yes."
 Faint dangerous"
 "Pn show you that it's always dangerous to point any kind of a gun at anybody.
 Father was a strong man, he had large hand, ridged with the hard calluses of farm labor.
 As before noted, we were thinly dressed.
 There you have it. in all it's stark, primitive simplicity. It may not &C., cord with modern ideas of child training-but it sure taught one young idea how not to shoot.

JOHNNY kILBANE IS THROUGH
 WITH RING,

Johnny Kilbane, according to Jim worlds featherweight champion for a number of years, never will fight another battle. The words Johnny spoke when a friend of his was kill ed in an Ohio ring are about to come true. Kilbane promised then that he never would fight any more, but the lure of a fight with Freddie Welsh. then the worlds lightweight of battle with Benny Leondrd champion, and the added inducement made him break over.
 The question of a probable match for Leonard arises since he has beaten the man beleieyed to have had the best chance of them all against him. In all the light weights there is scarcely one who measures high enough to provide a real championship go with the marvellous Hebrew The choice un- doubtedly lies between Frankie Cal laha nand Joe Yelling, with odds favoring the latter. Welling is a cool, clever boxer and a hard punch CT. Callahan is hard fighter and one of the toughest boys the game has ever seen
 Either of these boys Would give Leonard something of an argument. It is doubtful if he could stop Cal lahan and Joe Yelling. with odds he would outpoint him. Yelling has chance to outpoint the cham pion in short go.
