Wliat tire Groat Rifle Shot
Says of tire Cso of the Bow
amt Arrow.
‘ You see,” eaid Dr. Carver, as ho
deposited a whole sheaf of brightly
feathered airows on a table, tock otf
his uuiOrageous felt, and drew up a
“h. ir, “I must be shooting something
or other all the time. If it isn’t a
Winchester it’s a bow and arrow.—
Pretty, they Hut most too fine!
Fancy things, theae arrows, for hund
sorne young ladies to shoot on grass
plats at straw targets. Now, an In
dian arrow is a good b>t longer, inav*
be thirty two inches—and when a
Sioux draws it chock up to the bow
it fairly hums when he lots it fly.
AN INDIAN ARROW
Has grooves cut in it behind the barh,
that is to say the ones they use in
hunting, so that the blood car. flow,
otherwise the wood would spoil and
swell. The fighting anows are r.asty
things. The barb is so put on tho
shaft that when it hits you the steel,
or old hoop iron, stays in Ihe flesh
when you go to pull out tho arrow.
Dear sakes, what ugly wounds I have
seen them make! An Indian hoy be
gins to handle a light bow when he
toddles, maybe at 4or 5 yerr. His
bow is talier than he is. He shoots
at most anything around the camp.
W T hen he is 12 he uses sharp arrows.
A boy must be stiong at 18 to use
a man’s bow. Now, a white man
who takes an Indian bow for the first
time has ali he can do to bend it. It
wants 6ome strength, hut more knack.
Tne bow is made straight. When it
is fttiung, the cord, even when in ten
sion, almost touches the bow. It is
thick, totr.e to 5 feet long—that is
thiir hunting how—and lias extra
stffening by having sinews pasted on
it. I have seen We-shessa-has-ks,
that’s the Long Man, and lie was the
best of the Ogala Sioux, kill an ante
lope with his arrow at 125 measured
yards. We-shessa has-ka was nearly
7 feet tall, and a erood Indian. Ou
horseback, broad side to a buffdo, I
have more than once known that In
dian to
iENb AN AUKOW TUROUOn A BIG COW.
The airow hung out on the other
side. The boW for horseback and lor
war is a trifla shorter and maybe
stiffer. You do not draw the arrow
to the eye, but Catch aim as Ido when
shooting from the hip. That can on
ly be mquired by long practice. The
string is drawn by the clutch of the
whole fingers, though some of the
tribes use the thumb and three fin
gers. The long man could shoot an
arrow in the air out of sight, and so
can I (the Doctor pointed to an arrow
buried up to the feather in tho ceiling
of our office, his own peculiar orna
mentation of tfto Forest and Stream
sanctum), I think that in a couple
of months I could get Into perfect
practice, for I used to hold my own
with any Indian on tho plains. Some
times alter I had been shooting with
n,y Winchester, an Indian would come
up and show his bow, at and tell me bis
bow was ‘mucheo good; but then I
used to take his oWn bow and beat
him at it.
‘"To pass away the time when 1
was at the Brooklyn Driving Paik, I
bought me
AN fcXGtISU BOW AND ARROW'S.
Of Holberton, and soon gat into tho
tiick of it. I hit blocks of wood
thrown into the air quite as often as
I missed them. The English bows
aud arrows are fancy, but good. I
would rather have an old Sioux one
made of hickory or ash, but the boss
bow I ever owned was made of Buffa
lo ribs. An Indian carries his quiv
er of arrows over bis right shoulder, [
so that he can get his arrows quickly. |
\Vli6n he has discharged one arrow,
the Doctor pronounces anow with a j
single letter ; lie calls it an R. with the j
same motion as he uses in pulling the |
string he clutches another arrow. If
he shoots one hundred yards he has !
three or four arrows in the air, all
going at the same time. It’s great I
fun shoo'ing at a bird with a long
tail that flies over the prairie. Knock
out his tail and his steering apparatus
is gone. I have knocked the tail out
of many a one, and so caught him in
n:y bauds when h 6 tumbled. See
here. Talking about these things
just makes me long to be back again
on the plains. New York is a migh

How lie was Stunned by a
Heavy Blow from a Stone
Used as an Anchor.
AVw York Sun.
Thursday evening at 5 o’clock Char
les Gates, aged fourteen, of 46 Pres
-1 ident street Brooklyn, anil Arthur
Cole, aged sixteen, of 96 Saokett
street, had a rovel and oxciting encoun
ter with a shark in Isast river. They
had hired a boat at the foot of Colum.
hia steet for the purpose of going] on
a crab fishing expedition. They em
baiked at 5 o’clock, and pulled slowly
down the river until they reached tho
breakwater between Columbia and I
Ilicks streets. Here Gates remarked
to his companion that ho would like
to take a swim. Cole replied, “Ali
right; peel off and i’ll remain in tho
boat until you return.”
Gates undressed, plunged into tho
river, and swam several timos around
the boat.
Meanwhile Cole was engaged In at
taching a rope to a large stone which
he had on board, and which ho meant
to use as an anchor after they began
to fish. Cole’s attention was soon di
veited fiom this work by a sudden
and violent displacement of the water,
which almost upset the boat. Almost
simultaneously with the shock which
was thus given him he was startled
by the screams of hi#companion, who
loudly called for help. Cole conclu
ded that Gates had met with some
accident, and was about to leap into
the water wheu looking over the side
of the boot, he saw his companion
struggling with a shark.
There was no time to Le lost. The
cries of Gates were growing fainter
and in a minute more . is life must
have heon sac diced. Cole bi thought
himself of the* primitive archer lie
had heon in iking. He p'omply
seized the stone and with all his
strength hurled i. at tho shark. For
tunately his aim was good, and the
heavy stone strurck the shark on the
head.
Seemingly stunned by the blow for a
second, the shark released his hold
upon Gates. Cole seized this oppor
tunity to oscue lii * friend, whose bleed
ing and mangled body was about to
sink. Colo lay to bis oars, and a few
strokes brought him alongside of
Gates, who was being swept along by
the tide. He reached out lbs oar but
the drowning boy was Unable to catch
hold of it. At last a fortuuate wave
brought the boat and Gates’ body
close together, and Cole leaned over
the side, and ceizing Gates by the
bead > nd shouldor, and pulled him on
boil’d.
By th ; a time the shark had partial
ly rocovoted and began to plunge vio
lently about in the water. Theap'eech
loss and almost lifeless Gates was
place! in the bottom of the bout* and
Cole again lay to bis oars, and pull
ed with all bis strength in the direc
tion of tho boat-house, from whence
they bad started. Tho shark seemed
to have lost its rckoning when it miss
ed its victim, and after making divers
mat oeuvres it disappeared.
Ou reaching ttie sboie it was found
that Gates was terribly lacerated. Ilis
body seemed to bn bleeding at tvety
porß. He was exhausted from loss of
blood as well as the shock be had sus
tained. An ambulance was sent for
Dr. Cochran and an ambulance
promply ariived at McOothry’s boat
house, where the unfortunate boy had
been p.ovided with a blanket aud
otherwise temporarily cared far.
After a cursory examination of |
Gitos’ wounds the ambulance sur
geon pronounced him to be in a most
critical condition, and directed his im
mediately r.tnoval to St. Pet t’s lies
piial, at Hicks and Congress shouts.
Here the wouuds wars closely exam
ined by the resident surgeon. It was
found that the hoy’s back and sides
were tommy lacerated, and little if
any hope is entertained of his teeov
eiy.

hour by bis relaiives and noignbors is
a lad ot qttijt demeanor, and has un

that the shaik was at le st eight feet
