be of fine Flanders hemp or twisted shoe

ALPHABETICALLY in Chicago, where the
last two annual Journeys were held
has become interested and it seems GER
tain that at many of the best-known
country clubs archery ranges will soon
be in operation.
The younger people are looking into
1t. Especially interested are the young
girls anxious to straighten their backs
and shoulders and develop their arms in
some graceful, quiet and yet interest
ing exercise and pastime. Here's what
young Washington girl member of the
Potomac Archers has to say about 1t:
Let no one tell you archery is tame
and archaic It's beautiful sport and
is rapidly coming into fashion again,
too. l took it up because l needed fresh
air and exercise. l am getting both
lots of fresh air and the finest exercise
in the world. Everybody is sitting up
and taking notice of archery now. Why
out west they are so crazy about it that
there is party of skilled archers going
out into the Rockies next year on a
camping trip and the men intend to sup
ply the larder with small game shot by
bow and arrow"
why is mere shooting at a mark fine
exercise?" queried a doubter.
1t isn't mere shooting at a mark" re-
sentfUly. There's the position you
have to take-the most perfect physical
position. absolutely erect, shoulders
thrown back, chest expanded, rising on
the balls Of your feet and coming down
exactly right And the long breaths
you unconsciously draw. You simply
have to breathe deep and expel the

your lungs.
why, for men who bend over a desk
or for women who sit sewing or reading
too much there's nothing like it. You
get so Strengthened up that when you
walk over to get your arrows you couldn't
slouch II you wanted to. Then recollect
that you walk fifty yards to the target
many times. That means quite q little
walking
Then there's the tensity of mind and
body as you take aim and pull the string
back to your chin. You can't think of
anything else between heaven or earth
but the direction and force of your shot
1t cleans the cobwebs out of your brain
Did you watch the champions at the
archery tournament? Their extended left
arms were as steady as a steel rod Have
you any idea what a strong pull it took
to send the arrow flying forty yards

Archery Is a fair sport. Spring, sum

ana stiffcned and the right arm and
shoulder muscles getting full play every
time the archer lets fly an arrow it can
be seen that there is plenty of chance
to develop the biceps, as well as smaller
and usually unnoticeable muscles In this

archer marches the sixty or hundred

Stamford, Conn. Oct 22.-The Rev. DR..
William j. Long. the nature writer. was
asked last evening IL he had anything 10
say about President Roosevclt's recent
bear hunt I'm the Louisiana canebrake.
"Oh, yes, a little 10 say and a lot 20
think" was his reply ITS a fine speci-
men OF Mr.. Roosevelt's brand OF nature
study. He went into the canebrake, ac-
cording To accounts, with six or eight
professional hunters, two surgeons, 60 odd
dogs, unnumbered camp followers, camera
men and few despatch bearers To carry
out accounts of his herolsm TO a breath
less world.
There was hulaboo enough 10 scare
any bear from here To Texas. Some OF
them arc probably running yet Bears
are timid. you know; they hate noise and
excitement. It's wonder that he got
one bear, that he even saw a fresh track.
All the able-bodied bears skiddooed at
the first uproar so dear to the presidents
heart Those that remained were PROB
ably cubs or invalids that lacked either
the sense or the strength TO get out.
Hence his one poor she-bear."
las a matter OF fact, this chasing a
timid animal with a pack OF dogs and
then shooting him from safe distance
when he cant do a thing To save or de-
fend himself Is pure brutal cowardicc.

dent finally killed his bear he is reported

Yes" said DR.. Long. that's Roose-
welt glorifying butchery as usual. With
him the whole object OF the hunt seems
to be the killing. The funny thing is that
presently he will be out with a magazine
article. telling us all about the habits Of
Louisiana bears and incidentally calling

". J. BRYAN

New York: Oct. 22.-william Jennings
Bryan spoke last night before an audi
ence that filed Cooper Union, while fully
twice as many persons were turned away.
The meeting was under the auspices of
the Progressive Democratic league. and
Mr.. Bryans subject was "The Demo-
cracy OF Today" He was introduced by
Augustus Thomas. president of the league
He said the Federal government, acting
within its present powers, could curb the
trusts.
LET congress- he said. "say when any
corporation In interstate commerce wishes
TO control IS per cent OF the output IL
deals i'm that IL must take out Federal
license, the license to be so safe-guarded
that the stock of the corporation cannot
be watered. Then the corporation will be
under the eyes OF the Federal govern
ment"
Touching on the tariff question. he said
he had seen every argument that had
been made for a high tariff die. He said
that he thought that the country was
about ready to begin tearing down the
tariff wall by beginning on trust con-
trolled articles.
THE president has done one thing"
said Mr.. Bryan, land / regard it as one
OF the most important things he has done.
He has called attention TO the matter OF
amassing wealth.
''Who has those swollen fortunes? Not
the wage earners. Not the strongest men
OF the nation. but the men who have de-
bauched legislatures gained control of the
taxing power; disgraced the homes of the
land. corrupted business and brought
oGium upon the Church Of God. 1t is these
kind OF men whom the president has seen
At TO point out as a menace 10 the coun-
try"
Mr.. Bryan also addressed the students
of the Dewitt Clinton High school and
the striking telegraphers.
To the striking telegraphers Mr. Bryan
spoke of the destruction of monopoly and
OF arbitration as a means for the settle
ment OF disputes between labor and capt.
tai. He said ii would not be proper for
him to discuss the points of difference be-
tween the companies and the telegraphers
which brought on the present strike or
to sit in judgment on the justice of the
claims OF either side.
He said he was not in favor of compul-
sorry arbitration OF any dispute, but did
believe in the establishment of some tri-
bunal where the truth OF such disputes
might be brought out The public was
fair minded. he said. and only needed to
understand the truth of such disputes to
decide them In the proper way.
