"DRAWING THE LONG BOW"
Some Remarkable Exploits Credited 20
Shooters of Arrows,


The expression drawing a long bow"
does not Of necessity mean the telling
of falsehood. It sometimes refers &c
g wonderful story which may be true
enough. but which is 50 marvellous as
to require q firm trust In the veracity
OF the narrator to enable the hearer to
believe it. Some Of the longest bows
Of this sort have been drawn about
bows and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Viz
gil in the ''AIneid'' tells Of four arch.
srs who were shooting for prtsA the
mark being a pigeon tied By O. cord to
the mast of ship. The first man hit
the mast the second cut the cord, end
the third shot the pigeon az tt few
away. The fourth archer, hayine
nothing left to shoot drew his bow
and sent his arrow flying toward thA
sky with such speed that the friction
Of the air set the'feathers on fire, and
It swept on Ike meteor to disappear
IN the clouds. '.s-.ts.r=sst@. ~
The stories told Of Robin Hood'p
archery, illustrated BY bis wonderful
performance as Locksley tn SoottB
'Ivanhoe." are also decided eratn
upon modern credulity. The famous
story OF William Tell. Doubted BY
many persons. is believed BY pthees 10

a Dane named Foke Of whom the same
story Is told, and William Of Clopdee

Of the matter. he saw Barbarossa,

Whether the cannon BAN bad hole

Perhaps the most astounding Of eli
stories about arrow shooting Is that Of
the Indians that used to inhabft Flor
