An Archer’s Scrap-Book 
Chicago, Ill., April 4 .— Editor Forest and 
Stream: In published letters and articles we 
often find themes for discussion. In one of your 
recent issues there was- a letter from Euclid D. 
Miller, of Nashville, in which he speaks of his 
scrap book, and of the good things from Forest 
AND Stream with which he is filling it. 
In the past Mr. Miller has written enter¬ 
tainingly on archery topics, and now that he has 
started again, we hope that he will keep it up. 
My scrap book will grow on his contributions. 
I suppose every one, some time in his life. 
has made a scrap book, or books. I own to 
being a crank on the subject. My first was made 
so long ago that if I should give you its date 
you might think I am an old man. It contained 
clippings about birds and insects and general 
matters. Then politics and political conventions 
and campaigns received attention. Medical sub¬ 
jects were not neglected. 
In 1878 archery began to be the chief thing 
collected and preserved. In those early days the 
work was not done very systematically, though 
I have interesting newspaper reports of the early 
tournaments of the National, the Eastern, the 
Ohio State and other associations and of local 
meets. 
From 1884 I was out of archery for nine¬ 
teen years. At this time I had copies of Forest 
AND Stream covering all the early archery days. 
Not expecting ever to be able to return to the 
sport, I disposed of the magazines, after mov¬ 
ing them about for several years. It has been 
a real sorrow that I did so. 
For the last ten years I have kept quite 
■closely in touch with the sport, and have kept 
all the printed matter relating to it which has 
come to my notice. 
I now have seventeen archery scrap books. 
In size they average 10 by 12 inches and 160 
pages. 
It has been no hardship to make these books, 
for I never allow the clippings to accumulate, 
and as a rule only a few hours elapse after they 
are received before they are securely put in their 
last resting place. Many of my friends have 
helped me in this work, and to those who have 
not done so I shall be thankful if they will. 
Many facts have thus been recorded which per¬ 
haps could not be found elsewhere. 
Tac Hussey, of Des Moines, and Louis W. 
Maxson, of Washington, have preserved much 
valuable material, and I know of a number who 
are making a record of the archery doings of 
the day. 
Let nxe suggest to my archer friends that 
they keep scrap books not only for their own 
pleasure, but because they will thus be the means 
of preserving the history of the sport.

“The Ladies Who Golf and Shoot.” 
BY TACITUS HUSSEY. 
On velvet turf ’neath sunny skies, 
With cheeks aglow like sunset tints, 
With bended bow or golf clubs *rue. 
And eyes reflecting starry glints. 
Behold our ladies of the lawn. 
With fluffy hair from wind’s salute, 
tyith twanging bow or fleeting ball. 
Our ladies fair, “who golf and shoot.” 
Oh, targets, with your colored rings! 
Oh, bended bow, with well-aimed shaft! 
PITTSBURGH A. C. ARCHERY RANGE. 
How sweet the song the bow cord sings, 
How soft and low the feathery laugh 
Of arrows in their hurried flight, 
Loosed from the hand of archer bold. 
And tell-tale murmur of delight 
Whene’er her shaft has reached the gold! 
And oh, the joy which fills the heart 
When ends the chase of fleeting sphere, 
When hole is made from distant field 
To hear the watchers clap and cheer; 
Hurrah! Hurrah! She’s won the day 
With two holes up, and one to play!” 
If I were old and lame to boot, 
I’d cheer the girls who “golf and shoot!” 
There’s music in the arrow’s thud, 
W'hen through the air it flies apace, 
Unerring in its steady flight. 
Eager to kiss the target’s face! 
It’s fun to watch an arrow’s flight 
From twanging string, like sound of lute— 
It brings to me my boyhood days 
To watch the “ladies golf and shoot!” 
When world is fair and spirits gay. 
When fields and woods by sun are kissed. 
How strange, in stuffy, stifling rooms. 
Women sit down to solemn whist; 
And shuffle cards and ask, “What’s trumps?” 
And rise, mayhap, with burning face 
When conscious of that sin of sins. 
That she has “trumped her partner’s ace!” 
Better the bowstring’s thrilling twang; 
Better the golf ball’s flight sublime; 
Better, by far, an outdoor life 
Spent in the “good old summer time!” 
If I approached Methuselah’s age, 
Sans teeth and “balder than a coot,” 
I d never cease to sound the praise 
Of ladies fair “who golf and shoot!”
