form before the bow was thought of. We

developed into a dart to be thrown, SINH
lar to certain toys still in use among the
children of our plains Indians.
The arrow consisted of three essential
parts. the head, the shaft and the feath-
ers. Sometimes the shaft was compound,
consisting of more than one piece Of wood.
The primitive head was very various. The
feathering Is comparatively a modern in
vention, to much SO that today traditions
exist as to its development and the varf-
Gus steps toward the improved feather
ing of modern times are given. Even with
among our wilder tribes have employed
very primitive forms of arrows, using in
their hunting of little birds arrows with
out heads and having merely a sharpened
fire hardened point, arrows without feath-
GERS and again arrows feathered after an
earlier method, of which, as practiced by
adults, we know only by tradition.
The bowstring was usually made of
twisted sinew, sometimes put on the bow
green and allowed to dry there. In the
southwest. however, the string was some
times made of vegetable fiber. In other
sections it might be made of strips of
raw hide or intestines of animals.
The bow and it's arrows were almost
always carried on the back in cases made
of the skins of animals. The bow case
was long and narrow bag, just wide
enough to admit the unStrung bow. I'm
mediately beneath that, and parallel to it,
both cases usually being attached to a
stiff rod of wood nearly as long as the
CULVER, was the shorter wider bag for the
arrows. 1t was slightly longer than the
arrow. and when arrows were to be drawn
from it they were grasped about the
feathers. so as to prevent this important
part of the dart from being ruffled.

best Quivers and bow cases were made
from the skin of the otter, but the hide Of
the panther was also highly valued for
this purpose. and bow cases and quivers

ONLY TWO ARE OUT.
Rest of the Railway Lines Have Re-
ported to Tax Board.

With the Topeka and Kansas City,
Kan, electric street railways to hear
from, besides several minor lines, the
reports of property which have come
to the state tax commission show that
the street railway property of Kansas
is valued by it's owners at over 112
millions of dollars. This includes II
street railways.
The new tax law placed the assess
ment of street railway and interurban
railway property in the hands of the
state tax commission instead of leaV-
Ing it to local assessors. Hence this
is the first assessment of the kind to
be made.
1t is likely that the Topeka and Kan
sas City railways will bring the total
value of the street railways of the
state somewhat above the $2,OOO,OOO
mark.
OF the roads reported, the Joplin &
Pittsburg interurban line give the high
est valuation on it's property, the total
being 1927 900 including about $4,000
worth of right of way not yet built
upon. This line is nearly ~ miles
long.
The value placed by the owners upon
the street railway and interurbans
thus far reported is as follows:
Union Traction company, Coffeyville,
261k miles, 100000.
Hutchinson Interurban railway, o.93

Materials From Which They Were
Made-The Culver.

The bows of the North American In
dams were made of wood, bone or horn.
Sometimes the bow was made of a sin
gle piece of wood, sometimes of several
pieces; perhaps it was of wood alone,
or it might be backed by sinew or by
the skin of some animal. The material
for the weapon was gathered when
ever it was possible, and a man might
have in his lodge a number of sticks
each of which he intended ultimately
to fashion into a bow, or if he did not
live long enough for this the bow wood
would descend to his heirs. AS the most
important implements of hunter or
warrior the bow was highly valued.
Bows of bone We're made sometimes
of sections of the rib of large animals,
spliced and glued together and were
usually backed by sinew. Those of the
antler of the elk were sometimes in a
single piece, and at other times in sec
tiOnS, bevelled at the ends and neatly
glued and spliced. Bows of horn were
often made of several pieces similarly
glued and spliced, but the horns of the
mountain sheep were sometimes cut
into long and slender rods which We're
laid together, glued and backed by
sinew.
Another type of sheep horn bow was
in a single piece, the horn being cut in
spiral from base of horn to point, this
spiral being steamed or boiled and then
Strengthened and caused to dry
straight. Bows such as these were un-
usual, but they were also very power
full. and never wore out On the other
hand, it is said, that bows made of
bone or of antler were more for show
than for use. They were good to look
at and for a time were effective, but
after a few years became dry and brit

Next to the bow. and, in fact, so much q

Father, Mother and Sister of the
Duchess De Chaulnes Sail.

New York, April 25.-Theodore
Shonts sailed for Europe today on
the steamer st. Louis to attend the

letters came from my daughter, tell
ing how perfectly happy she and her
husband were and full of plans for
their home in Paris and for the duke

him and his grit more and more. He
is showing himself to be a real man
and a good one. I like the stuff he is

as happy as he is making Theodore
