ENGLISH ARCHERS LOSE HOME
Ancient Organization Puzzled az to the
Disposition Of Its Relies Of
Days Long Past.

There is Royal TOxOphilite society
IN England, which has had its head
quarters in Regents park for many
years. Now, however, the society has
to move, and is concerned as to the fu-
ture resting place Of the wonderful
treasury Of archery relics now in
Archers' hall.
One bow and set Of arrows are more
than 1900 years old. These were
taken from the tombs at Sukkarah, in
Egypt, and are believed to have been
In use about 1900 b. c.
Another bow WAS given to the soci-
ETY. by Mahomet Effendi, "embassy
from the Sublime Porte" in 1894, when
he came to England for the first time,
bringing his bow and arrows with him.
When this Turkish official saw the
ground mt Regents park he said it was
much too small. SO he went into a
street outside the park and shot his
arrows into field The distance was
measured and found to be Il quarter
of a mile. Mahmoud was so pleased
with this shot that he presented his
bow and arrows to the society. The
bow Is beautifully carved and is OF
immense strength.

MADE DOG CARRY KITTENS
Mother Cat Had No Compunction at
All in Making Friend Do
All the Work.

An English lady, says contributor
to the Cornhill Magazine, having re-
ceived a kitten and puppy as gifts,
determined to bring them up together.
She put them into the same bed, fed
them from the same saucer, and they
became fast friends
! ! In time the kitten arrived ut matron'
hood. She presented the world with
little ones and chose for their nursery
q remote and quiet room In the house.
But in a few days she evidently de-
cided that there was q better place
for them in room on the floor above.
Instead Of removing the kittens her
self, she trotted of to her friend the
dog and got him to follow her to the
SPOT where the, kittens We're lying.
When he had looked ut them she
started off to the upper room, and he
followed her; but, seeing that he was
so to speak-''empty-h she
doubled back and returned to the kit
tens; and eventually, after two or
three more false starts, he understood
her and, picking up one OF the Kittens
in his mouth, followed her up the
stairs to the new place. That was as
far as his understanding went, and
she had to conduct him back to the
other kittens and repeat the whole
performance again and again until in
the end he had removed them all, and
she was happy in her new quarters
But it was not the ideal spot after
all she was happy there only for q
day. Again she summoned the dog,
and he moved all the. kittens again,
but more readily than at first. Again
the cat became dissatisfied, and the
dog moved the kittens again. From
first to last there were so many re
movals that the lady lost count OF
their number.
