BURR HAMILTON
PIST0LSB0UGHT
Pho.o by n ternationaL

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1O.-FeW, IL
any, firearms in existence possess
greater interest than two pistols sold
az auction in Philadelphia yesterday,
They are a pair OF dueliHg weapons,
OF the hint-ioclr type, eneased IN a
plushlined man nogany case. In per-
feet condition, made with barrels I'M
ported from. London BY Booth, one Of
the best-known OF early Philadelphia
gunBmithg ,fhey would cOmmand the
interest o fcoilectoTB Of hrearms
simply Rs specimens Of the art Of the
Eunsmith Of their period. They pos
sesg, however, a human interest and
historic value, which lifts them quite
out fthe class Of mere curiOs.
The tradition On the family by Cae-
sar A, Rodney, for whose estate they
were sold, is that they were given
10 Mr.. Rodney by Colonel Aaron Burr,
and are the pair used IN the duel
which resulted IN the death Of Alex
aRder Hamilton.
That Rodney and Burr were inti-
mate friends Is shown by the letters
they inteFchanged and which we're
reason to doubt the authenticity OF
the weapons. An interesting Instance
Of the changed personal relations
which political life brings about ia
20 be found IN the fact that later, as
Attorney General, under Jefferson,
Rodney had the dlsagFseable task Of
prosecuting Burr, his intimate friend,
for treason.
In 1901 Burr was defeated for the
Presidency, Jefferson Wining, and
Burr becoming Vice President. in
1904 Burr ran as an independent can
didate for the gOYeTnorship Of New
York, ana was again defeated. Both
defeats he attributed 20 the inauence
Of Hamilton, and this political dis
agreement led 70 the duel Of Wee
hawken, I15 years ago last July.
Hamilton according TO tradition,
fred into the air and was killed by
Burr.
The pistols were purchased by Har-
~ Harmer. Of Philadelphia. who is
said to have the best collection OF
American fire arms IN existence.

BUT THERE,SARUB

About 800 years ago there SAIL
ed across the sea a score or 50
OF aged men whose dim eyes
shone with glee as the boat which
brought them grounded on the
land they'd come to reach, and
they hobbled forth with hating
steps upon the sandy beach.
Their eyes were dim. their Boards
were long, and all were hard
O. heafin'," but meath their
wrinkled hides beat hearts both
strong and full Of DARN.
A man told them a tale one
day-they believed it for the
truth-and so they'd sailed the
deep blue sea in quest OF the
FOunt OF Youth. These pilgrims
had set forth upon a long and
futile quest, and meath the palms
in Florida their whitened bones
still rest.
But hearken to the news today
which comes from Sunny France!
A doctor there. both skilled and
wise, now says he's found. BY
chance. a method to restore TO
men OF years three score and ten,
all the energy, and more. they've
lost, and make them young again.
His name is Sergius VerOnoff.
which really sounds suspicious;
for a man who bears a name like
that might prove he's BolBhe-
vicious. But Doctor VerOnoff is
skilled, and well known in his
trade, and it's not thought he'd
seek to wreck a reputation made.
The surgeon states that he has
found, by process most remote,
how to make a frisky lamb out OF
a wOrn-Out goat; and by the
careful, painless use OF a scien-
tific knife, cut a man whose
death is near and give him brand
new life. From the monkey, Of
Darwinian fame, he can steal a
little gland. and sew II in a hu-
mans frame, and from Il, un-
derstand. that man will draw his
youth, and strong and springy
step. and change into a bashful
boy, ambitious-full o. pep.
But dangers lie ahead, tits said,
OF this bold step In science, and
pessimistic doctors are loud in
their defiance OF this smart
Frenchman's method for restoring
youth and laughter, and they
point with fear TO what may come
Immediately thereafter. The
monkey is the trouble. and they
fear the plan will fail; for the
man who thus experiments will
surely grow a tail. He will not
try to spend his time in business
or on ranches, but will live his
regained life again among the
trees and branches.
