REVOLVER INVENTED BY BOY
idea Of Deadly Small Arm Was Born
In the Brain of Fourteen
Year-Old Runaway.

The revolver, that until the invention
OF the automatic pistol, was the most
deadly small arm known to man, was
born of the brain of fourteen-year-
old boy, Samuel Colt. Colt ran away
from school and shipped on board a
merchant vessel bound for the East
Indies. He had good deal of idle
time on his hands once the ship was
well at sea, and long period of calm
weather followed it's movements. He
began to seek an outlet for his active
imagination and mechanical urge. He
attempted various things to aid sailing,
but without any great success. He
then took to planning a pistol that
would shoot several times with a
single load. He had only bits of wood
and jack knife to work with, but be-
fore the voyage was over he had cut
out model for a revolver very SINH.
lar to, the pattern still in use.
Once at home again, he went to
work in his fathers factory, but the
revolver idea was still in his head, and
he worked at 10 from time to time un.
I'll he was twenty-one. At this point
his experiments had so far advanced
that he asked for and obtained patents
in America and EurQpean countries
A stock company was organized, and
from this humble start the great Colt
arms factory was begun, and the re-
volver put on market that soon car,
ried 1t around the world.

orIain Of Ereemasonrx unknomn.

The society of Free Masons ante
lates all other societies by centuries.
Its origin is so ancient that the place
and time of Its birth are unknown.
Its legend say that 1t was organized
at the building of the temple of Solo
mon, but this Is not accepted with
much credence. BY some writer's its
origin has been ascribed to the
Druids. by others to the Knights
Templar and to Pythagoras, and it
has not escaped the fad which In mod
ern times has attributed so many
Jof the uncertain productions to the
nimble brain of Sir Francis Bacon.
Within recent years traces of the
organization are said to have been
discovered In Palestine or the Egyp-
tian obelisks and in the pyramids
In fact, 1t has been asserted that IN,

that the society grew directly frUm
an organization engaged In the con,

"ANGELg OF SENATE PAGES
Political Opponents of Senator EIkins
Aver He Is Appearing in En-
tIrely New Light.

When Senator Phelan Of California
retired from the senate there was an
air of gloom around the haunts of the
pages on the Democratic side which
couldn't be dispelled. The California
senator has been the official angel of
the pages for years and he had seen
to 1t that they got tickets for baseball
games and such things. Being a page
without having an angel is hardly
worth while.
About this time Senator Davis Ell
kins of West Virginia heard about the
desperate situation Of these boys and
declared he would be the official angel
for the suffering pages. Since Senator
Elkins is supposed to own lot of coal
mines and oil wells and perhaps a rail-
road here and there, If they haven't
been misIaid lately, nobody could make
grander angel and the pages see be-

the doctor had left and stole softly
from the boat.
1t was in the full blaze of morning

looked around the cabin. The other

Tonnibel went to the deck, shouting

voice repeating itself back from the
woods in echoes. Then she went down.

hastily, and every moment her fear
was growing. She spied the note
pinned to the lamp handle and stared
at it mutely as If dreading to know its
contents, but she unpinned 1t with fin
gers that seemed to be all thumbs.
Her legs were shaking so she had to
sit down to read it.

ber about your swearing not to tell
on your Pop, and don't tell I'm gone to
find him. MUMMY"
Tonnibel gave a gasping sob. They
had all gone and left her stranded in
land of strangers. Because it was
no longer her home, she began to love
the silent old canal boat, and to wish
with all her soul that Uriah and Edith
would come walking down the cabin
steps.
For a long time she sat thinking,
looking out over the water, sometimes
with tears flooding her lids, sometimes
dry-eyed with fright After while she
got up, took Gussie to the lake, where,
much to the little animals disgust,
she washed her with q scrubbing
brush and soap. Then she carefully
washed herself, letting her feet and
legs hang over the end Of the dock
until they. too, were as clean as her
little friend.

Gussie under one arm. Il mightn't be

"Can / come tomorrow the boy
urged.
"Yep. you can come" said Tonnibel,
with filling throat, "but If there's any
one around, don't STOP"
This was all the warning she dared
give him. Then she paused long
enough to see him jump into the canoe,
and for a few minutes she stood
watching the craft as it danced away
on the water toward Ithaca. Then she
started for the doctors.

and the boat came to a stop. Tonni-

right before her, was the Salvation

at her. II see you're having nice
