guj wales SMITH @ WESSON The Only Absolute Safety Is SMITH & WESSON “HAMMERLESS SAFETY” This shows why The hammer, inside the frame, is always locked by the safety catch. The natural picssize of the hand upon the Safety Lever in the back of the handle (see illustration) is the only way to lift the safety catch and permit the trigger to raise the hammer for firing. The safety lever and trigger must act at the | same instant. To discharge this arm otherwise than de- | liberately is an impos- sibility—and Here Is the Proof Over 300,000 Smith @ Wesson Jammeriess Safety Revolvers have been made and sold; and not one Single accident has ever been re- ported.

Low is the memory of an amusing bit of comedy which occurred on the Hougua, a clipper- ship, during one of his first voyages. One Sa day afternoon, late, the sailors had just f holystoning the decks and painting the bulwarks. ‘The second mate had a fifty-pound keg of black paint in the paint locker on one side of the bow- sprit, under the topgallant forecastle. Unfortu- nately the sailors owned a large Borneo monkey or baboon, and he had been made fast on the bowsprit within reach of the paint. Like a monkey, always full of mischief ished he up- set the bucket of paint, which can down the scup. pers as far as the mainmast over the clean white deck The second mate, as soon as it was found out, caught the monkey and swabbed the paint up with him till he would hold no more, and then threw him overboard; but this made bad worse, for the monkey caught the side ladder hanging over by the main rigging and came up, and before any one could stop him ran the whole length of the bulwarks, leaving the black paint all over the fresh straw-colored paint, and making an awful mess. ‘The man who owned him caught him and hur- ried him into the forecastle, but it was “All hands to clean ship”; for the decks had to be scraped and wiped off and then painted again, for Sunday must find the ship in perfect order. As for the monkey, the men turned to and shaved him clean, and he was the worst-looking animal that was ever seen. The second mate was as angry a man as could be for a time, but soon got over it after the ship was set to rights again, and he never molested the monkey, who was a great pet.—Youth’s Companion, OUNT BONI was another distressing case of overcapitalization.—Washington Star.
