This nature's nobleman, himself had known and mastered and knowing knew all men. He scorned all place and power and fame.unless broad principles and independent right were seen. The humblest sought and found his readiest weightiest thought; and passed inspired on He through all affectations, titles and disguises saw, the Truth the Right the Way beyond. No earthly power could swerve his axe once raised aright to cleave the mark! Nor was he tyrant Czar or Monk, but to plain duty, lent himself this his life's work! To his poised mind men were not small nor great, but only were they wrong or right: This natural master of himself, by conscience and God's help, lived calmly and serenely in this light. Lincoln C. Cummings February 12, 1909. A PISTOL "EDITORIAL OME comment in con nection with the accom panying clipping from the editorial columns of the Washington Star, is apropos : THE PISTOL HABIT. The latest tragedy resulting from the pistol-owning habitis particularly distressing. A Chicago man on the eve of leaving home on a journey undertakes to explain to the housemaid the workings of his revolver, and as the two are standing by a window the weapon is discharged and the ball kills a woman in an adjoining apartment. It may be that Chicagoans are in such peril of life and property, owing to the activity of the lawless classes, that pistols are considered as a necessary part of the domestic outfit; but the chance is that the pistol owner in this case had never had the least occasion for using the weapon. His possession of it was probably merely a matter of habit, the result of a foolish notion that a xnan should go armed. Doubtless, now that his folly and carelessness have caused the death of an estimable woman, he will realize that a pis tol is a needless risk. The other day an Italian workman in northern Maryland killed a companion while under the influence of liquor. The court concluded that the homicide was accidental, and freed the slayer on the extraordinary condition that he take an oath to lead a tem perate life and that he fling his pistol into the river. Truly a most remarkable precaution against crime and accident! This case directs attention again to the necessity of new legislation here to regulate the pistol trade by rendering it difficult for any j erson to procure a weapon. There is now pending a bill that aims at the prevention of crime by subjecting all dealers in deadly implements to rigid regulations. In view of the tragedy In Chicago, which might have been averted had such a law been enacted in season, this bill should be passed at once. Follow pistol shooting as a sport and continue to find in it increasing fascina tion, benefit and training for eye, nerve and muscle, but don't get "The Pistol Habit ;" eliminate the idea of the pistol as an arm of defence. The time was when it was such largely though matter of necessity in many sections, but that time has long since passed and the man, generally speaking, who considers a pis tol necessary for his personal safety should be classed with the equestrian who rides in central park with a western saddle. Everyone who has carried a pistol, or a revolver, to be more explicit, and who has given the matter careful thought, very soon realizes the danger. One naturally comes to resort to it under all circumstances necessary and unneces sary, usually unnecessary, and there is always the growing terdency among the rougher element, to "kill something" with it. The westerner in a card game, immediately "pulls a gun" when a dis pute arises and frequently shoots, where the easterner doubles up his fist and fre quently hits. The comparison is appar ent. If the easterner was in the habit of carrying a gun, he would do precisely as the westerner did. Sometimes, in certain quarters, you hear women urged to carry revolvers for protection, and the only reply to this argument is that the only real dan ger in such a case is to the woman carry ing the weapon, for others are cdmpari tively safe; that is the others for which the shot is intended. This is said with no reflection on the fair sex the same applies to men in a general way for it requires long practise and association to require sufficient nerve and self control to use a pistol as it should be used as an arm of defence. If you are really in a position where you must have something as a side arm protection get a good old fashioned "slung shot". It does its work well and with little or no damage. It's never loaded and its never "working" unless you choose to set it going. Cut out "the pistol habit'' if you have it, and avoid being led into acquiring it. Own a revol ver if you wish, but don't come to rely upon it for safety as you do upon your watch to help you keep an appointment. Spend all the time you can in practise if the sport appeals to you, and come to regard the pistol as you would a small caliber rifle. You will find it more use ful and an entertaining companion which will brighten many dark hours indoors and out ; a solace in the wilderness, a friend in the city. Further, never forget that a firearm is always loaded and that it is the arm which is not loaded that does the dam age. Never under any circumstances, point a firearm at any one even though you have just examined it and are sure that it is empty. The point is just here : "get the habit" of handling a "firearm exactly as if it were loaded and then in case of accidental discharge, there is little or no danger. This is absolutely the only safe rule. Make careful handling of firearms a habit and it will soon become mechanical. MISS OLEV S TALKS. First of the Series is Hooked for Friday Morning- If ext.
