There is not the slightest sense back

important.
When a man stops to listen to two

"DRAWING THE LONG BOW"
Some Remarkable Exploits Credited b

Some Remarkable Exploits Credited %
Shooters of Arrows.
The expression drawing long bow"
does not of necessity mean the telling
Of falsehood. 1t sometimes refers to
wonderful story which may be true
enough, but which is so marvellous as
to require 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. Vir-
gil in the "Eneid" tells Of four arch.
ers who were shooting for prize, the
mark being pigeon tied by a cord to
the mast of a ship. The first man hit
the mast the second cut the cord, and
the third shot the pigeon as It few
away. The fourth archer, having
nothing left to shoot, drew his bow.
and sent his arrow flying toward the
sky with such speed that the friction
Of the air set the feathers on fire, and
it swept on like a meteor to disappear
In the clouds. ).
The stories told Of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley in Scott's
''Ivanhoe," are also a decided strain;
upon modern credulity. The famous
story Of William Tell, doubted BY.
many persons, is believed by others to
have a foundation of fact. There was
Dane named Foke of whom the same
story is told, and William Of Cloudes-
ley, an Englishman, is said to have
shot an apple from his sons head
merely to show his expertness. f."
Most stories Of bows and arrows re.
late to the accurate aim Of the archerS,
but Frenchman, Blaise de Vigenene,
tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which an arrow may be pro-
PEELED If the bow be strong and long
enough. According to his own account
Of the matter, he saw Barbarossa, a
Turk, admiral of a ship called the
Grand Solyman, send an arrow from
his bow right through cannon ball.
Whether the cannon ball had hole
through it or not he neglects to inform
us, probably not considering so trifing
matter worth mention.
Perhaps the most astounding Of all
stories about arrow shooting is that of
the Indians that used to inhabit Flor
Ida. It is said that group Of them
would form a circle, then one would
throw an ear of Indian corn into the
air. The rest would shoot at It and
shell it Of every grain before It fell to
the ground. Sometimes the arrows
would strike it so hard and fast that
It would remain suspended in the air.
for several minutes, and the cob never
fell until the last grain had been shot
away. "a
It Is such stories as this which fully.
Justify the use to which the expression
"drawing the long bow" is sometimes

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The man who pities him self always
is pitiable.
1t is easy to mistake a resolution
for reform.
No man ever did his duty standing
on his dignity.
Soul culture is matter of spirit ual
companionship.
They are best remembered who for
get themselves.
Character is the only absolutely in
dispensable capital.
He who has no faith in goodness
has no experience of it.
He who does not fight his appetite
must forego his aspirations.
There are big black shadows behind
the life that seeks the limelight.
1t takes more than information to
work the Transformation of the world.
You may be sure you are wrong
when some men are sure you are
right.
Your prayer check does not amount
to much without the signature of your
deeds.
The Ills of the world never wholly
will be healed without the healing of
our hearts.
When man is conscious Of his rec.
titude he is least convincing in talking
about it.
The reeording angel is not wasting
any ink on the good you are planning
to do later on.
The best prayer for your brother is
not the one that rises to heaven, but
the one that brings you down to earth.
One of the great mistakes of this
age has been the substitution of the
church as an institution for the church
as an inspiration.
This world succeeds in keeping
many man poor in person, but it
never will succeed in keeping one
poor in heart without his consent.
When the gift of little for charity
ms to put man into mortal pain
you may be sure the root Of evil lie
striking down into vital spot.

A LITTLE OUNCE.

BY ANNA BURNHAM BRYANT.
They taught her-oh, hundred things!
The names of all the queens and kings,
And where they lived and what they said,
And what they did ore they we're dead.
All, all forgot-unless it we're
The way her teacher smiled at her.
They tried so hard to make her know
About the land Of Eskimo;
The temperate and the torrid zone,
And all the rest of it; alone
She perfectly remembered this:
The sweetness of playmate's kiss.
Oh, yes, she quite forgot it all,
Except-the pretty asters tall
She picked along the way to school;
The water splashing sweet and cool
When all the children stopped to drink
Beside the old wells messy brink;
And then, when she came home at night,
Her mothers eyes, so sweet and bright!
And fathers hug-the games he played
At tea-time with his little maid.
A little Ounce? Nay, sweetest wit!
To keep for aye the best of it.

pair on even terms with the mare. Mr. Straus had
moderated the team. and had twice taken IDA
Highwood back to wait for them. when A. ]. d.
made a break at the start, but he driving her
with all his skill they neared the finish, after
he had come to realize that she could not shake
