Disappearance of Weapon That Is
Morn Fatal Than The Rife.
"The bow, once the worlds chief
weapon, is Aow almost completely a
thing Of the past" said Major D. G.
Johnson, now guest Of the Laclede
Hotel. THE more or less noble red
man of the American forest now car
ries q Winchester and metallic cart
ridges, the Australian bushman is
armed with muSkst, and even the
Congo negroes blaze away at each other
with villainous saltpetre.
The bow is no longer military
weapon of any considerable people.
Even Cupid appears TO be equipped
with repeating rifle and is blazing
away at the stomach instead of the
heart. We are accustomed to think Of
the bow as a harmless kind OF weapon,
fit only for small boys to shoot wood
peckers with, but l tell you that in
the hands of a skillful archer it is one
of the most terrible engines of de-
struction known to man. l have seen
an Apache Indian drive barbed wire
arrow clear through two-year-oId
Buffalo and bring him down as though
struck by the bolts of OlympiaD Jove.
1 would rather be struck by minnie
bullet than with one of those metal
pointed darts.
History tells US that when the Ro-
mans invaded Parthia under Cassius,
those Apaches of the East drove their
arrows clear through them and pinned
them TO the earth. l would back
regiment Of skilled archers TO whip an
equal number Of soldiers armed with
muzzIe-loading musKets. The fire
would be equally accurate and effective
and much more rapid. l can not I'M
derstand how the old flintlock came to
supplant the bow, unless military men
were charmed by its noise. The old
English bowmen constituted soldiery
not to be scorned; the bow OF Ulysses
was weapon that the braVest might
well fear. st. Louis Globe Democrat

tho fact that supplies IN the open market
