With a Bow and Arrow.— “ You see,” said Dr. Carver, 
as he deposited a whole sheaf of brightly feathered arrows on 
a table, took off his umbrageous felt, and drew up a chair, “I 
must be shooting something or other all the time. If it isn’t 
a Winchester it’s a bow and arrow. Pretty, they are.” 
But most too fine ! Fancy things, these arrows, for handsome 
young ladies to shoot on grass plats at straw targets. Now, an 
Indian arrow is a good bit longer — maybe thirty-two inches— 
and when a Sioux draws it chock up to the bow it fairly hums 
when he lets it fly. An Indian arrow has grooves cut in it 
behind the barb, that is to say the ones they use in hunting, 
bo that the blood can flow, otherwise the wood would spoil

His bow is taller than he is. 
He shoots at most anything around the camp. When he is 
twelve he uses sharp arrows. A boy must be strong at 
eighteen to use a man’s bow. Now, a white man who takes 
an Indian bow for the first time has all he can do to bend it. 
It wants some strength, but more knack. The bow is made 
straight. When it is strung, the cord, even when in tension, 
almost touches the bow. It is thick, some 4$ to 5 feet long 
—that is their hunting bow— and has extra stiffening by hav- 
ing sinews pasted on it. I have seen We-shessa-has-ka, that's
