Tournament Nerves. 
A Scotsman would say that a “cock crows 
best on its own midden heap,” and certainly it 
looks as though archers can do wonders at home, 
and although everyone would scorn the idea of 
DR. WESTON TROPHY. 
nerves as applied to them, our annual tourna¬ 
ment produces yearly the greatest upheaval of 
form possible to imagine. Any and every ex¬ 
planation is given for the poor show on the 
great occasion, which careful study of should 
induce the veriest novice in archery to take part 
in the big events, as only too often it is the case 
of the first shall be last and vice versa, or nearly 
so. The writer watches carefully all the year 
round the scores of the many shooters, and feels 
thankful that there is no inducement in the way 
of odds held out to back his fancy, or his judg¬ 
ment would receive a blow pretty often. 
Jersey City has been honored within the last 
day or two by visits from several shooters en 
route to and returning from Boston. T have 
watched Wills, Hertig and Jiles at York round 
practice make scores that would make most of 
the shooting at Boston look feeble indeed, but 
that was here, and Boston was another place. 
Prior to the tournament Mr. Jiles and I shot 
a double American round with the following re¬ 
sults.

Such modest people some archers are! Mr. 
Rendtorff is so crippled with rheumatism that 
he has not been able to shoot for a month, and 
is not yet able to draw his bow. 
He was sorely disappointed in being unable 
to go to the National tournament, as. were his 
club mates. 
The Reckless Archer. 
BY TACITUS HUSSEY. 
T shot an arrow at the sky; 
It fell to earth; but what cared I? 
I drew the bow with all my might, 
Not caring where the shaft might light. 
I roared a song unto the breeze; 
It soared above the highest trees; 
And who, at distance, short or long 
But could have heard that high, old song? 
When morning came—Oh, what a row! 
That arrow was found in my neighbor’s cow; 
And the song was found, in a year or more, 
On the shelf of a cheap music store! 
Now the moral of this is very plain: 
“What is your loss is some one’s gain-” 
Remember this, as. you pass along. 
If you shoot an arrow, or sing a song! 
Army bayonets now form part of the 
emergency telephone outfit of forest rangers, 
used chiefly in fighting fires. This emergency 
line consists of small instruments and a coil ot 
fine copper wire. The wire is attached to the 
nearest telephone line, the bayonet is thrust 
into moist ground at the other end, and with 
the circuit thus completed, the ranger can talk 
with headquarters, report his position, and sum¬ 
mon fire fighters if necessary. 
The forest service of India has demon¬ 
strated that teak wood grown in plantations is 
just as strong as that grown in natural forests.
