AGED GUARDS GUN
TOO HEAVY FOR lob

Private I. o. Gordon is a civil war
veteran. He is also a Waterman al
the Treasury.
Several days ago Gordon was dele
gated to guard the two German
howitzers captured by American
troops at Chateau-Thierry and sent to
this country as war trophies.
Wartime regulations OF the Treas
ury provide that. all watchmen carry
revolvers.
The regulations, however, failed to
prescribe the manner in which the
side-arms should be worn.
A .45-caliber Colt revolver is
rather heavy affair. Altogether Its
weight is entirely too much for the
average pocket
Private Gordon did not have a hol-
ster in which to pack his big Colt
and the Treasury does not issue mol
sters to watchmen.
Accordingly, Gordon solved the vex-
ing question by carrying the revolver
in his hand.
Visitors who came to see the war
trophies were much impressed by the
sight OF an aged Waterman standing
guard over the captured cannon, with
a business looking revolver half con-
cealed behind his back.
The captain Of the Treasury watch
force also was impressed.
An order was issued. Private Cor
don is still guarding the two cannon.
His big revolver, however, is miss
ing. It is reposing in a desk drawer,
and the Waterman has a smaller gun
that lies fat in the pocket.
