It felt so heavy in my hands that I I thought the barrel must be plugged with lead. But that wasn't all.. It was merely an early rifle, a muzzle loader of .60 caliber with an ex tra heavy barrel that was clean en'ough to take the ramrod all the way to the hammer nipple. Its weight was just under 15, pounds. "Its a genuine mountain rule, Pink." said Larrv who had only MrontKr annuirerl it. It's stamped 'J. and S. Hawken' right on the barrel. You can still see it." . .. : The names of the famous lAmerican gunsmiths were there, all rieht. And so also was the name R. Ashmore, stamped on the lock. "Ashmore's name is an added :. touch of authenticity, if any were needed," Larry said. "Ashmore : shipped over many locks and .other parts from England. He ;was a regular supplier of Amer- i lean gunsmiths." ' . AMELIA EAKHAKT MEXICAN 8XAMF A VALUABLE ITEM : "Look at this, Pink.

But in stepping over the thresh- hold I knew there was a change and that it was something other than more lines in Miss Abbe's face. I spotted it when I walked back to the door for another look at the "welcome mat" that had delighted me so much as a child. The letters in the word "wel come" had always been a royal blue. Now they were a dark red. Everything else on the semi-circular house rug was Just the , same as I remembered it. A prim- i,tive looking mother cat still gazed at an awkward kitten play : ing with a ball, the two of them surrounded by the letters and a somewhat ornate floral design. "You're right," Miss Abbe 'said. "The letters are different." The "welcome mat" I liked so much was a hooked rug made from' a "stamped pattern" that 33 MACHINERY and TRACTORS TOR SALE: Gravel bed & hydraulic hoist. In good condition. Yockel Fuel, Ph.

It also made for greater stability in aiming and less kick in firing, "Those are the reasons why men like Jim Bridger and lots of the other mountain men used a Hi,i,vn aoA I raised the gun to my shoul der for a practice sighting. "It's like trying to sight a crowbar," I said. "Believe it or not," replied Larry, "that's the reason why these rifles are so rare today. The Forty-Niners found they made wonderful crowbars and actually used them as such." I I asked how rare they were. Larry said that one, such as his, still firable, was worth at least $1,000, but that he expected to get much more. " had gone on the market right after the Civil War.

But a few of them are valuable, nonetheless, and this was one of them. ; - "I remembered several 'fam ilies around here that had this kind," Miss Abbe said. "And few winters ago I went calling on them and managed to find five. I ve been selling 'em off, one a year since. The summer people pay good prices for them.' I asked Miss Abbe, who lives in sight of the southern Maine Coast, how much they were worth to her. "The one you're standing on is worth $350, Pinkney," she said. "I've got somebody coming in tomorrow who's been begging me to save it, and. I think I've saved it just long enough."

There is a world of dif- Dr. Huxlock f erence in the behavior of the person who is ruled by caution as compared with the person whose life is dominated by timidity. A cautious person is careful. He uses foresight and good judg ment in deciding what to do and how to do it. He does not "rush in where angels fear to tread" but makes sure the 'path is safe before he embarks on it. Because he is cautious, such a person makes relatively few mistakes. When he does get on the jvrong path, he is progressing at such a slow rate that he can quickly apply the brakes, thus preventing himself from becom ing involved in a big mistake. Because of this approach, he is likely to be successful in what ever he undertakes. A timid person, by contrast, is held back so by fear he is un willing to start anything until others have blazed the trail be fore him and have demonstrated to his satisfaction .that all. is well..'Naturally, under such con ditions he frequently starts, too late and misses out on the chanc es for success that were there but which he was too timid ; to grasp. : Wide Difference ' There is another, wide differ ence between the cautious and the timid person which helps to explain the difference in suc cess, ihe cautious person has TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY OIL TO BURN Also Expert Burner Service MEDFORD FUEL Telephone 2-5845 , WE FIX 'EM while you sleep HAWKINS NITE GARAGE 616 S.

Because of his caution, he has 'made few mis takes, and, as a result, there has been nothing to undermine his self-confidence. By contrast, the timid person is ruled by fear of failure be cause his timidity stems from serious failures in the past. These failures have so undermined his self-confidence , he is afraid to try anything new or different in the future. Because of this hesi tancy on his part, he is more of a failure than a success and this further increases his lack of self confidence. , . '. LETTERS FROM READERS : Psychological shock: "What is meant by a 'psychological shock' end how does it affect the per son?" D. E. (A) A "psychological shock" is, in reality, an emotional rath er than a physical blow. It af fects the person's self-esteem and self-confidence rather than his body. It may take the form of fear, anger, jealousy, remorse, grief, or any other emotional state. Regardless of what emo tion it is that is aroused, the characteristic thing about all "psychological shocks" is that they hit the person when he is unprepsred for them, when he least expects them, and they come with great suddenness. Be cause of the damage they cause, their effects are often longer lasting than the effects of ' a physical blow no matter how severe, Wedding ring: "I am planning to be married soon and expect lo keep my wedding ring on my finger from the time my husband puts it on at the 'wedding cere mony until I am ' buried. My friends tell me this is foolish. Do you agree," J. T. . (A) No, I do not think it is foolish for you to keep your wedding ring on your finger for the rest of your life. It is a sym bol of the lasting quality of your marriage. However, I warn you to get a ring that may seem much too big for you now. As age creeps on, your fingers are likely to enlarge and that would necessitate having your ring cut off your finger to avoid its cut ting off your circulation and leading to trouble in your fin ger. Wear: a guard ring to keep your wedding ring from slipping off until your finger enlarges so this will not be necessary.
