Somehow. the champions say that
turkey feathers are the best feathers
for an arrow. There Is no scientific
reason for this. and | am inclined
IL believe that the superstition
about turkey feathers as brin.ers of
good tuck is the only basis for their
argument.
The best bows are usually made
from the yew, because Of its steadi-
ness and sweetness. For a woman

ful young woman whose golden jew
elry glistened and who combed her
flowing hair. There being neither mar

of the Park Avenue Hotel, and sent a
deputation to inform the management
Of the threaten I'd publiclty.
Jere Lane. a clerk, accompanied the
deputation 70 the roof and stalked the
young woman, taking cover behind
chimneys and copipgs. She was highly
indignant when they bounced upon her.
Mr.. Lane recognized her at once, al
though she had been wa hing her hair
and had a ukulele under her arm. She
was Miss Yvonhe V. Siiverston, who has
been living thee for more than a year
with her father. She said that she had
gone to the roo TO dry her hair and
play her ukulele and had no suspicion
that she was visible from the street.

CAMP MILLS, Long Island, oct Ia
The usual order was reversed to-day,
and instead OF the entire Rainbow
Division playing host to thousands OF
visitors. thousands of the men took
advantage Of leaves Of absence and
themselves went visiting. Consequently
there were fewer soldiers and fewer
friends Of the men in camp to-day than
on any other Sunday since the division
first encamped.
A number of weddings marked the
day for those left in camp. Each happy
pair were given a rousing send-oit by
the bridegroom's comrades, and the
sight of fast-moving automobile with
a long string Of tin cans rafting behind
was the signal for a great outburst Of
cheering.
The ball OF the lGSth Iowa Infantry
was invited to play at the country home
Of Mrs Leo +. Wanner. where the an
