DRA WING THE LONG BOW,

The expression drawing a long
bow" does not of necessity mean the
telling OF d fa!sehood. 1t sometimes
refers to a wonderful story which may
be true enough, but which is so mar
velous as to require a firm trust in
the verarity of the narrator to enable
the hearer TO believe. Some of the
longest bows of this sort have been
drawn about bows and arrows.
These stories began long age. Vir.
| gil in the "A1neid" tells of four arch
ers who were shooting for prize, the
prize mark being pigeon tied by
cord to the mast of a ship. The first
man hit the mast, the second cut the
cord, and the thirtissaRt the pigeon ass
it flew away. The fourth archer hav-
ing nothing left to shoot, drew his
bow and sent his arrow flying toward
the sky with with such speed that the
friction of the air set the feathers on
fire, and it swept on like meteor to
disappear in the clouds,
The stories of Robin Hoods arch
cry, illustrated by his wonderful per-
formance as Locksley in Scott's
"1vanhoe" are also a decided strain
upon modern credulity. The famous
story of William Tell doubted by
many persons, is believed by others
to have foundation Of fact. There
was Dane named Foke of whom the
same story is told, and William of
Cloudesley, and Englishman, is said
to have shot an apple from his sons
head merely to show his expertness.
Most stories of bows and arrows
relate to the accurate aim of the arch
ers, but Frenchman, Blaise de Wig
enene, tells one that shows the tire.
mendous force with which an arrow
may be propelled 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. Solymau, send an
arrow from his bow right through a
cannon ball
Whether the cannon ball had hole
through it or not he neglects to in.
form US, probably not considering so
triding a matter worth mention.
perhaps the most astounding of all
stories about arrow shooting is that
of the Indians that used to inhabit
Florida. 1t is said group of them
would form circle then one would
throw an ear of Indian corn into the
air. The rest would shoot 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 sever
al minutes, and the cob never fell un-
til the last grain had been shot away.
1t is such stories as this which full
ly justify the use to which the express
sion drawing the long bow" is some
times t-Chicago News.

The Girl Of His Heart.

"There's no use talking, Jack; I'll
never agree to it-never! Cad! |
can't understand how a son of mine
can be such an idiot"
"You don't know Madelon yet
dad"
"Bah! know her kind-paint, tin
sci, sham and frivollty."
"Madelon is different" Jack pro-
tested patiently. "She is sincere and
sensible-just an honest-hearted,
whites ouled little woman. And she
is so young; she isn't 20 yet"
"Bosh and moonshinep old Squire
Cruger growled in angry dissent.
All young fools talk like that when
they're bewitched by some painted
humbug. A stage woman can man
age to look young at 70; youth is part
of her stock in trade. And no doubt
your goddess was befooling rich young
idiots while you were still wearing
knick erbockers."
"Your prejudices hurt me, dad,'
expostulated in a panied voice.
"It's better for you to be hurt a
little now by your father, than to be
lured into lifetime of disgrace and
misery by such woman" the Squire,
rejoined grimly. ''How do you sup.
pose your mother-a proud Montague
would feel with such creature for
a daughter-in-law? I'm amazed at
your lack of sense, Jack. How a son
of mine can develop such an amount
of stupidity is beyond my compre-
hension.'
Jack remained silent. He felt that
it was useless to discuss the matter
with his father.
"I'll wager what you like" the old
gentleman resumed with a short
harsh laugh; "that | can buy the won
derful lows of your 'white-souled' di-
vinlty. "I'll interview her tonight
or tomorrow; I'll offer her $500 spot
cash, if she'll kick you out of her
house. And she'll do it-she'll do
it,"
Jacks young face turned white.
for an instant his steady, patient eyes
flashed fire.
But he checked the indignant re-
tort which was hot on his lips.
The Squire was his father-one of
the best and kindest. And he would
try to prevent a meeting between the
latter and Madelon Ranlagh.
II can't quarrel With dear old dad
Jack reflected "But I'll prevent
him somehow from insulting my poor
little girl. And after while, I'll

Tue young actress occupied small

As an actress, she possessed some
talent, with an exquisite grace and
charm of personality. But she lack
ed the divine fire of genius; and she
was deficient too, in the enthusiastic
ambition by which even mediocre
performer may sometimes attain
celebrity. Like many young women
she regarded her profession as merely
a temporary vocation, by which she
could earn a living, and which she
would gladly and gratefully renoun ce

ST. LOUIS ALUMNI
CONCERT AND DANCE.

Dreier Hall, the home of the Saints,
was once more a center of attraction
last night. 1t was the entertainment
and dance night which brought forth
many of the Honolulu beauties, most.
ly friends of the college. The program
was rendered under, the direction of
VIM. Welch, who acted as announcer
and floor manager.
A. e. Murphy entertained the audi.
ence with his usual characteristic
pieces and was compelled to respond
to encores.
Miss Betters, the twelve-year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank C..
Betters of Kaimuki, rendered a piano
solo and captivated the whole house.
She was loudly applauded.
The comic song by Eugene X. Allen,
with Mrs. Allen as accompanist, was
the greatest hit of the whole program.
The young and the old alike were
greatly pleased by Mr.. Aliens comical
singing. He sang thrice, and the audi
ence would not let him cease. 1t was
only when Announcer Welsh came to
his assistance that Allen was permit
ted to leave his post.
The music was in charge of VIM. S.
Ellie.

JACK SWEET HAD
NARROW ESCAPE.

Jack" Sweet, an engineer on the
wrecked steamer Columbia, had a mi.
raculous escape from death. When
the ship struck he was below in the
engine room. He instantly realized
that his chance for escape was very
small and before he had time to plan
a way to get out of the sinking ship,
he was knocked senseless by heavy
timber. When he regained conscious
ness it was daylight of the following
day and he was affoat upon the sea.
A nail in the loose timber that struck
him, had at the same time caught in
the heavy jumper he was wearing,
and held. Thus supported he had been
carried up through the mass of other
wreckage to safety on the surface.
Later he was picked up by small
boat One of his arms was broken
in two places and his body was badly
bruised. But the injuries were not
serious enough to prevent his being
taken to San Francisco and allowed to
see his family before being taken to
the hospital.
Mr.. Sweet has quite an acquaintance
here, gained during several trips to
this port. Several years ago he mar
ried Mrs. Kennedy, who formerly lived
in Honolulu.

FLORIDA PINES.

Jared Smith has received letter
from Pathoogist Bessey of Florida
answering certain inquiries which he
had made about the pineapple indus
try in that State. 1t reads in part as
follows:
You can probably estimate the
acreage on fair basis by estimating
an average of about 200 crates to the
acre. This is low for parts of the
State, but high for other parts, and |
think will be fair average. The crop
for 1904 was 4S2,552 crates, valued at
s5S4,548, while for 1906 it was about
$S23,216. The crop for 1906 was con-
siderably larger and | think is esti-
mated at something like 100000 to
100000 crates. The prices, however
remained very good in spite of the
larger crop. This year the crop is
very small, probably not over two
thirds uf normal crop, but the prices
have been correspondingly good. |
fear | will be unable to get the exact
figures for 1906 until towards the close
of this year, as they are not brought
together and compiled until about that
time. Very truly yours"

Mrs. Spencers Hopeful Vse1cS of
