---A revolver is a nickel-plated substitute for bravery, which has practically driven the original article out of the market. The revolver gives a puny man with a 5-8 inch brain and the pluck of a grasshopper a 100-year reach and makes him more deadly than a Sioux Indian. There was a time when this country had no dangerous animals, except bears and wolves, and life was safe except on the frontiers, but now vast hordes of 16-year-old boys with cigarettes in their face and portable cannons in their hip pockets, produce obituaries with the skill and enthusiasm of a cholera microbe; while it is not at all times possible to meet a personal enemy who has been chasing you for a week and who is reluctantly compelled to defend himself when he catches you by filling you so full of lead that your remains will require eight pallbearers. Revolvers are now so generally used in debate, in domestic quarrels and repartee of all sorts that 8,000 Americans die of them each year, it is said.
