loading, smooth-bore type and fired
a ball of from one to two ounces.
1t was fairly accurate at 100 yards,
could inf1ict a fatal wound at 200
yards, and had diminishing degrees
of effectiveness up to a quarter
mile.
While loading a musket the sea
soldier had much more to do than
to insert a cartridge clip and man
ipulate the bolt, as is the case with
most of the infantry weapons to-
day.
In those days he had to bite off
the bullet from the top of the cart
ridge so as to expose the powder.
He then sprinkled a little of the
powder into the pan of the gun,
snapped the pan to, dropped the
cartridge down the muzzle, ram
med it home with the bullet on top,
and then took aim and fired.
There were numerous occasions
when the musketry fire of the
marines proved to be an important
factor in the winning of sea bat
ties. Their craftsmanship was
highly praised by J. Fenimore
Cooper and a number of other nav
al writers.

Radiant Living
HONOR COMES WITH
GIVING
BY Rev. G.. M. Griffith
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

All day long the people had been
listening intently to the amazing
instruction given them by Jesus
Christ as He taught them on a
grassy Galilean hillside.
But now, the sun, a big red disk,
was about to drop beyond the pur-
pie western hills. Jesus realized
that the people were tired and hun
cry. Turning to one of His dis
ciples, He asked: Where may we
buy bread that these may eat ?"
In answer to his question an
other disciple reported that there
was boy among the crowd who
had a small lunch with him, five
pieces of crackerbread and two
small sardines. But" he contin-
uedy what are they among so
many"
Jesus, however, directed the dis
ciples to bring the lad to him.
Looking kindly into the boys dark
eyes, Jesus smiled and asked:
Sonny, will you loan me your
lunch ?"
Now it means something for a
hungry boy to give up his lunch.
But the lad wasn't thinking of that
so much as he was conscious of the

4 Pet. Population Drop
Due Each Generation

The American population will
drop about per cent per genera
ton if the present birth and death
rate continues. William Lane Aus
tin, census director announced. If
the 1880 rates had continued the
population would have risen by IL
per cent per generation, Lane raid.
Some time in the 1930-1940 decade
a change took place in the birth
and death rates so that the u. S.
passed the critical point at which
the population would remain sta
tionary.

Marines and Muskets

Accuracy of rifle fire has always
been a speciality of the U. S.
Marines, who have won their full
share of prizes for skill on the
rifle range and elsewhere.
But it is a far cry from the mod
ern high-powered infantry rifle to
the old-fashioned muskets, which
also were used to good effect by
the sea soldiers in the days of Old
Ironsides and other sailing frigates
A wide variety of small arms
were used in the early days of the
last century, including the musket
pistol, boarding-pike, cutlass, bay
onet, knife, dirk, or tomahawk
Each weapon had its use in the
days when war vessels often fought
at close quarters.
The musket, however, was he

him IN such good stead in the years
that followed. Radisson. with knowl-
edge of the wealth to be gained in
the fur trade, determined to become
a trader and explorer. In company
with Medard Chouart GrosSeillers, his
brother-in-law. he started west on his
first expedition about 1855, and after
many thrilling experiences returned in
a few months with a small fortune In
furS.
Then followed numerous other expe-
ditionS into the west. There were many
battles with Indians and continual
hardShips were endured, but Radisson
and his kinman always won through.
In the spring of 1859 they crossed what
is now Wisconsin and followed up the
upper Mississippi, the first white men
TO see this river. On the banks Of the
Mississippi they met great numbers Of
Sioux, who received them Hospitality.
They continued west alone into the
land between the upper Mississippi
and the Missouri, meeting many tribes
who had, not seen white men before.
They were greeted as men from an
other planet and made welcome. The
old men among these Indians told the
white strangers Of Indians who had
Travelled far south and had met "men
who wore boards and had knives like
those the Frenchmen wore"
These were taken to be Spaniards by

miners and proved TO be very popular.
It's route began In Blackfoot City
(now Ophir) and went across the de
vide. In many places It was so steep
as TO make 1t almost impossible with
a wagon. and even pack trains found
II difficult 70 travel especially during
the winter months. AS many supplies
as possible were brought In during the
spring and summer months In order
70 avoid the harder winter journeys.
Soon after the Kennedy road was
completed. however. another was be-
gun. The new road ran through Silver
City, Trinity and Georgetown (now
Canyon Creek. This new road proved
TO be easier TO travel upon and as Il
also made q shorter route to Helena,
Il took the place almost entirely OF
the Kennedy road.
From its very beginning. Lincoln
camp fairly BUSTED with activity and
1t was surprisingly free from the law
leSsnesS so prevalent in other mining
camps OF its day Even the Lolo In

home, finally forgot their antagonism

resulted in many barn raisings, quilt
ing bees. and even horse shoeing par
ties. This feeling Of good will was also
demonstrated BY the willingness TO
help one another when sorrow or
trouble knocked upon q miners door
A story has been handed down con-
corning a small child who had wan
dered off into the woods and failed
the woods for weeks. but, finding no
trace Of the child decided that 1t had
been carried of by wild animals.
Little Pine Casket Empty
The parents grief was pitiful. and
the mother prayed that Il only she
might have the little body given
Christian burial she would try to be-
come reconeiled TO It's death. The citi-
Dens Of Lincoln held a meeting and
the following day word went out
through the town that the child's body
had been found and was already rest
ing In small pine casket IN the COM
bination church and schoolhouse. Busy
miners found time to conduct a COM
forting funeral service for the be-
reaved parents. who never knew that
the little pine casket was lowered into
q small grave empty.
Then suddenly quite as quickly as
they had arrived. the miners OF Lin
coin, hearing tales of greater gold
strikes elsewhere, pulled stakes and
left In search Of greener pastures. Lin |
