The annual tournaments are held alter

the homes OF the members, back n forth
between the East and West. The last, the
twenty-eighth in the sequence, took place
at Boston in August. The targets we're

Of Melrose, 1877 yards. There was a prize
for clout shooting, won by Benjamin Keys

subscription to buy the lad a fine Lakewood
bow and a set of arrows.
A word as to how the shooting Is done:
The championship is by a double York

duced at the English Grand National, at
York, in 1874. A single York oun n u

Mound is 30 arrows at 80 yards, 30 arrows
at 50 yards and 80 arrows at 30 yards. The
short range championship is at double
the American round, Richardson winning
this as well as the national. He is under
20 and has been a bowman Tor three or
four years, his scores now being close to
record performances.
He also won the midrange shoot at the
Potomac round. which is used in team
matches. 1t consists of 90 arrows at 90

PRINCES KNOCKOUT BOUQUETs.
Mystery Solved when MOntenegrIn Was
Caught Stealing q Bracelet.

Under the high sounding name OF Prince
Tschilindro OF Montenegro, an impressive
and elegant person has made a distinct
impression in the outskirts of Partisan
society. Well dressed, handsome and agree
able, he was successful with the women
and especially with wealthy English and
American women, whose acquaintance he
specially cultivated.
One Of the Princes delicate attentions
was the frequent presentation Of beautiful
bouquets to women upon whom he called or
whom he met in social gatherings. and after
a while 1t came to be noticed that usually
after the presentation Of one OF these bou-
quets the recipient was seized with a faint
ing fit or a sinking spell Naturally the
Prince was the first to offer his services
and assist the stricken lady to a private
room.
1t also happened that after such seizures
the victim was apt to find herself short on
Iewelry. One lost a bracelet, another a
necklace, another a brooch. Search OF the
locality Of the fainting spell neve resulted
in the recovery Of the lost article, but no
suspicion seems ever to nave attached TO
the Montene grin noble.
At last one evening about two weeks ago
Hrl nee lbCDlAiuuTO was BucSt III n muSlCdiS
given in the assembly room OF a Partisan
apa rtment motel. A lady TO whom he had
been paying marked attention was one ofth
performers.
At the conclusion OF her piano solo the
Prince stepped forward to offer congratuls-
tions on her skill and as The did so he presented
a beautiful bouquet Of Alpine ~viOIsts. The
usual result followed. The lady smellsd
the flowers and Immediately shOwed signs
Of collapse.
She stood up o tteTing TO get out Of the
crowded room. whereupon the Prince
sprang To her side and supported her as she
withdrew. Unfortunately the hostess fol-
lowed and caught the Prince outside the
door ia the very act Of disengaging the lady's
diamond bracelet from her arm. He was
arrested on the spot and the effects Of his
bouquets were explained by the discovery
that they we're all impregnated with a power
full narcotic.
Police investigations, the GaEI0is re-
ports, revealed the fao that the Prince was a
gypsy. 81 International no Onety named

HOUSEkEEPING IN MEXICO.
An American woman Experiences in
the Land Of Manana.

TAXCo, Mexico, Oct. I5.-If the American
women who complain Of the trials and tribu-
lations of housekeeping in the United States
could live in Mexico a while they would
complain no more.
This is a very old Spanish town, tucked
up against the side OF a huge mountain.
The wonderfully beautiful, ever changing
colors Of the sky, the resplendeut vcrdure
OF the towering mountains, the red tile
rooted, pink, white and blu houses are
equally fascinating with the quaint pictur-
esque old churches, with their ever changing
bells.
And these Mexicans certainly do revel in
the ear splitting din OF bells. In this tow
Of 5000 persons there are some thirty bells
and when they are all going, with echoes
sounding from the mountains, one wants
to run and hide.
In the early days Of my s~ojourn here
l was hailed by a man with a basket strapped
to his back:
"Do you wish some rice butter?"
SIS it fresh?' I asked, and he replied in
all earnestnesy
"Si, Sonora, it is Of this year"
And that was in November!
My washerwoman uses very strong soap
and rubs the clothes on large, fat stones
at the public fountain. The combined soft
water and strong sun renders all the clothes
most beautifully white, colored garments
rs well as white ones. One may arrive
with colors quite bright, but one remains
all clothed in white.

water, filed the cone, and, after due time,
l asked our maid to bring some filtered
water: She vanished soon to appear with
a pitcher OF dark oozy water. Exclaimed:

The natives bring to our doors freshly
laid eggs, sdll warm, ore at a time, at three
cents apiece. OF course, these are values
in Mexican currency, which IL worth half

also, for IS cents. All Of the fruits and
vegetables are cheap and plentiful the year
round In this locality; hgs, dates and pea
nuts asO.
But nj greatest problem Is In the meat.
As we get no ice, we must eat freshly slauRh-
tered meat. This Is tough, but cheap. Any
part OF o beef costs % cents q pound. and
we don't get steaks and roasts, but anV

party frock and hat instead OF athletic
clothing and that the poses in drawing
the bow make her a pretty picture against
the lawn and trees. Ornamental, too, are
the belt and culver. which men have dis

The feminine follower OF Little John must

fingers tipped with calfskin and having a
strap to buckle around he wrist; she must

string after the discharge OF an arrow.
Bows are Of self or backed wood, and,
sometimes, Of composite horn. The former

arrows must not be touched on the feathers.
