Wise Dad Saved Boys From Trouble

THEY called themselves ''The
4 Sharp Shooters''-tl1is gang
Of six small boys-because they
were experts in handling their
little air-rifles.
To start with, Bobby's parents
had given him an air-rifle for q
birthday present. Then the rest
OF the gang-Billy, Dick, Sam.
Buck and Edwin-had told their
parents that the only Christmas
present that would register at all
with them was a gun. They
argued that the kind they wanted
would shoot only little bitsy BIB
shots that wouldn't even hurt q
chicken. The youngsters were so
persistent, so eager and so de-
termined about the matter that
