THURSDAY, DEC. 5, 1914
For a long time, remarks the
Honey Grove Signal, there has
been an agitation from one end of
the country to the other to put the
pistol toter out of business, and
great good has been accomplished.
But it is doubtful whether the
time will ever come when the
bully, who is inherently a coward,
or the man, r.ot necessarily a
coward, who believes that his life
is in danger, will not carry a gun.
But peace officers are on the trail
of the df.hmen, and to overcome
the dAger threatening those who
canfcsuch weapons a new kind of
pjProT ha6 been invented. It is
-'said to be a little thing not larger
than a lead pencil in diameter and
about four and a half inches long,
having an oxidized rubber handle
and looks a great deal like a foun-
tain pen, in fact so much do
these guns resemble such articles
that it is said they may be carried
in the vest pocket and no one will
suspect that they are guns.
Around the barrel there is a rub-
ber ring and when it is drawn back
it releases the hammer and fires
the gun. One of these instru-
ments of destruction was found
near the place where a murder
was committed in Erath county
some few days since and it is be-
lieved that it is the weapon which
was used in killing the victim.

Times When Audience
Should Always Stand *
By W. G. BENTLEY. Joliet, ID.
Loyalty is the body. Sen-
timent in the soul. Loyalty
is a duty one owes his coun-
try. Sentiment gives it life
and prompts action. Patri-
otism to be* effective must
be inspired by both. Love
life in action. The “Star-
the sweetest of his life.
He can choose that way, or he
can choose another. He can help
those he never knew to safety,1
and with a last thought of his lit-
tle circle at home he can go to his
death. They may be praying for
his safety at the instant the sea
closes over him forever. If he
takas this course his life is notl
lost.
The people arc too s^ish at
best. Men consider their own wel-
fare too mucii and that of others
too little. Hut for these lessons
of self-sacrifi .e the world might
become far worse than it is today.
When men die for others their he-
roism cannot fail to influence mil-
lions.
If you are in position to help a
tellowman and fail to extend that
aid, you will marvel at the action
of one who gives his hopes, his
life, that another might be saved.
In life he could provide for his
children, but now perhaps he must
trust that the world will extend
them a measure of the rich gift
lie left to the people of his coun-
try. •
Such acts make men more con-
s derate of the welfare of others.

be done.
Teach the people that whenever the “Star-Spangled Banner” or
“ America” is sung or played the uudieiiee should stand—should always

Such sacrifice brings man to real-
it will be very popular with gun-
men, since they can put it in their
pockets and it will be almost im-
possible for them to be caught as
it occupies but little more space
than a pocket knife. In the face
of this new invention it will be
still harder for the officers to en-
force the pistol law. It is bad

The Servioa of Heroes.
Those who fall upon the battle-
field, and those who heroically
give up their lives on land and sea,
do a service for humanity that
may be far greater than the work
they could have done if heaven
had permitted them to live the al-
lotted life of man.
^ j When a soldier falls in a foreign
land, removed far from the scenes
of childhood and from his friends,
millions regret his fata. Those
who are bound to him with kin-
dred ties and ties of love may be
looking at the stars—wondering
where he is—when those same
stare meet the gaze of his eyes as
he expires in the service efhis
country. A letter crossing the
sea may tell of his health and
strength, but before it reaches
their hands hie spirit has gone to
a fairer field. But his life is not
wasted.

ize that this is not an arena where
we must seek to destroy each
other, but the world is a home,
and its people a great family.
That not only the child his mother
bore and cherished, but the labor-
ers in the field, the factory and
the mine, are all his brothers.
The world is better that men
have died when they might have
lived. Their heroism enriches all
lands. The story of their deeds
in history, tradition and song will
make men better to the end of
time. It is terrible on their loved
ones now—and every man must
wish that the last sacrifice has
been made—but we feel, uncon-
sciously, the influence of their un-
timely end.
Their fate makes us feel a deeper
sympathy for all who suffer. They
did more for humanity than a mas-
ter mind could do in an aga. If to
be of service to the world i6 a well
spent life, they must haye seen
their Maker—before t|jc sea had
settled over them 4r before the
din of strife had diefl away—they

There arc* hermit souls that live with-

In a place of their self-content;

There are pioneer souls that blaze

And lie a friend of man.
Let me live in a house hv the side of

Where the race of man go by
Tlie men who are good, the men who
are had,
As good and as bail as I.
I would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Nor hurl the c>me's han;
Let me live in tin- house hv the side of

Both parts ol an infinite plan;

And lie a friend of man.
I know there are brook-gladdened

And mountains of wearisom height;
That tlie road passes on through tlie

And stretches away to the night,
But still I rejoice when the travelers
rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that

An Example of Co-operetion.
The gradual stamping out of the
hoof and rriouth disease is another
striking example of the benefits
that come from co-operstion. In
dealing with this national peril,
the officials of the department of
agriculture have worked in co-
operation with owners.and shippers
of cattle and with officials of state
departments and the result is that
the spread of the epidemic has
been stopped. Heroio measures
were necessary and millions of
cattle were slaughtered, entailing
an enormous lose to owners, but
