Historic Pistol Has
Had Many Duplicated

There are indications that Alex
ander Hamilton was riddled with bull
lets that summer morning on the
heights at Weehawken. There are
too many pistols that ended his life
to permit one to believe there was
just one shot. Every now and then
the pistol that Burr used turns up
somewhere or other.
After the fatal shot the pistol that
was used by Burr was turned over to
Judge William Van Ness, the second
of the victor-of that there Is no
doubt. He presented it to Col. James
Bowie, who gave it to Doctor Carr of
Baltimore.
In time that clever temperamental
Kentucky orator, Tom F. Marshall
had an impulse, not uncommon in
those days, to shoot James Watson
Webb, the editor Of the New York
Courier and Enquirer, and in the duel
arranged Carr acted as Marshall's
second, and it was the Burr pistol
that killed Hamilton, which Marshall
used in crippling Webb for life.
The famous weapon was retained by
Marshall, who gave it to his brother,
and the latter carried and used it in
the war with Mexico. That would
have given Burr a thrill-he had so
wanted to shoot Mexicans himself.
If pistols could write memoirs,
what interesting stories this one with
the twelve-inch barrel could tell

OF INTEREST TO THE SOUTH.
WEST

Senator Cameron has introduced
a bill in the senate which is of in
terest to the states of New Mexico
and Arizona. 1t has to do with the
leasing of unallotted lands on Indian
reservations for oil and gas produc-
tion The measure is of particular
Importance to New Mexico because
the first big oil field developed in
that state lies largely on the Navajo
Indian Reservation. Arizona is con-
cerned because there is a strong pos
sibility that the New Mexican oil
producing area will be extended into
this state by future developments.
Production in the San Juan basin dis
trict of northwestern New Mexico
has now reached a point only a few
miles from the Arizona boundary.
Senator Cameron's bill proposes
that leases be for a term of ten
years, with the privilege Of extern
sion as long thereafter as oil or gas
is produced in paying quantities.
This provision is necessary in order
to stimulate exploration for oil. In
vestors will not incur the heavy ex.
pense of drilling wells unless thew
are guaranteed sufficient time in
which to extract the oil they may
discover.
The other section of Senator "a IL
eron's bill which has even greater
interest for the southwest stipulates
that states shall have the authority
to levy taxes on oil, gas and mill
erals produced on the Indian reser
vations lying within their boundaries
and on the royalties received on the
same by the Indians.
This would constitute modif'ca-
tion of the present federal statutes,
with exempt Indian property from
taxation. There is no reason in
equity why the states should not be
empowered to collect taxes on oil ur
minerals produced on Indian reserva.
tions within their borders, or on the
income of the Indians therefrom. the
same as is required by other citizens.
The whole principle of exemption
from taxation of the property OF In
dians is wrong and discriminatory.
The practice is utterly unfair to
those states wherein the reservations
constitute a large proportion of the
land area. Any limitation Of that
condition will be welcomed by the
states effected as a recognition in
part at least, of their right to levy
taxes on the property of all citizens
without discrimination Sill.

UNWORTHY FATHER

A New Jersey woman sues her
husband for divorce because, when
their son lay ill in a hospital and
needed a blood TRANSMISSION operation
her husband refused to give his
blood to him. Assuming that her
charge is true, here's hoping she wins
her divorce Every mother on earth
has given her blood for her son,
freely and cheerfully; a father that
isn't willing to initiate here, on a
very small scale, is hardly worthy

"The alchemists of three or four
centuries ago were the chemists of
their day." says Dr. e. e. Free. writ

of another age were either knaves

"This is a new way to define gold.
The alchemists had no acquaintance
with atoms nor were they much con-

they wanted gold, what they wanted
was something which would look like
gold, would feel like gold, would be-
have like gold against the air and wa

their definition of gold If a metal
met them, that was enough.
"It is distinctly possible that a num-
Der of the alchemical procedures

alchemfsts defined it. A number of

SWANS MATE FOR LIFE

The presence OF one or more pairs
of swans lends great charm to any
suitable body of water in public
park or on a large estate. The Bio.
logical Survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture. which Of
fers this suggestion, adds that swans
are slow to mate, but that they re-
main mated permantly, and that the
only satisfactory way to buy breed
ing stock, therefore, is in guaranteed
mated pairs.
Wild swans may not be captured,
confined, bought, sold, or SHIPPED for
propagating purposes without per-
NIT from the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. The Biologi-
cal Survey will furnish list OF deal
ers from whom pairs may be pur-
chased, and information on their
habits and care. Swans are large
and aggressive birds, and must be
given plenty of space. Different
pairs fight constantly, and IL the
available range is not large enough
for pairs to separate when they
choose, an ample pen should be
wired off for each pair. The birds
can not be keep in good condition
without access to a body OF water,
and it is desirable that this should
be large enough to maintain plant
growth for natural roughage.
Swans Craze, but not so extern
sively as geese. Grass, clover, and
alfalfa, as well as water plants, are
suitable green foods. Grain is also
needed. In the Northern States
swans can winter in a shelter open
to the south and Uttered with plenty
of hay or straw to protect their feet.
Where their swimming pool does not
freeze over, no winter shelter is
needed.
