PUZZLE CORNER. 



HIDDEN LETTER PUZZLE. 



My name of letters 6 is known 



To readers far and near, 



In " books worth reading " you will find 



It frequently appear. 



Three letters of the 6 are found 



In " Tales " that thrill the soul, 



And 3 of them in " books " are seen; 



Now who can guess my whole. 



Each person solving this puzzle will re- 

 ceive an article that will come handy in the 

 library. State on what page the ad appears 

 in which the hidden word appears. 



I consider Recreation the cleanest mag- 

 azine published, at any price, for the ad- 

 vancement of true sport, and am glad to see 

 the hogs get a roast. They deserve more 

 than that; they should have their heads 

 shaved and should wear the striped suit for 

 a time. Then they would realize they were 

 not the only people in the world.

FOR THE BOSTON SPORTSMEN'S SHOW. 



Antonio Apache, the young Chiracahua 

 Indian who recently went to the Canadian 

 and Northern Maine game country in the 

 interests of the New England Sportsmen's 

 exhibition, to be held m Boston in March 

 next, has just returned to Boston. His 

 journeyings covered a distance of nearly 

 2,000 miles, and many of the Indian camps 

 and settlements of New Brunswick and 

 Canada were visited. Contracts were en- 

 tered into which secure the personal at- 

 tendance and services at the show, next 

 spring, of a number of Indian hunters, trap- 

 pers and guides, several of them to be ac- 

 companied by their families, all clothed in 

 the primitive and picturesque habiliments 

 of the aborigines, and engaged in canoe 

 building, trap making, and in the fashion- 

 ing of the rude weapons of warfare and 

 woodcraft which have, since the introduc- 

 tion of the white man's methods, become- 

 almost entirely obsolete. Among the inter- 

 esting specimens brought to Boston, by 

 Antonio Apache, is a model of a primitive 

 Indian tent, composed of birch bark, en- 

 closed in a framework of saplings, open at 

 the apex for light and air, and with a deer 

 hide hanging over the entrance, and serv- 

 ing as a door. There are also birch bark 

 canoes, as fashioned 200 years ago; a great 

 variety of traps for the capture of bears, 

 otter and other animals, and a number of 

 devices for the taking of game birds; all 

 composed of saplings and logs, and rudely, 

 yet effectively, contrived. 



The other features of the exhibition are 

 in the hands of thorough sportsmen and 

 effective workers, and rapid progress is be- 

 ing made. 



1 Applications for space from all sections 

 of the country are daily being received; and 

 the management desires to especially invite 

 the co-operation of all who may wish to 

 secure space for exhibits which appeal to 

 or are likely to interest the sportsmen of 

 New England. 



Application blanks, plans of the exhibi- 

 tion building and full particulars will be 

 mailed on application to the executive of- 

 fices of the New England Sportsmen's As- 

 sociation, 216 Washington Street, Boston, 

 Mass. 



You certainly have the best advertising 

 scheme on earth. The man who fails to ad- 

 vertise in Recreation is not wise. Each 

 succeeding number of your brilliant maga- 

 zine is better than the one before it, and I 

 am always impatient for the next one to 

 come. It is doing a noble work among 

 game and fish hogs, by way of educating 

 them to see matters in the right light, and 

 I cannot say too much in praise of Rec- 

 reation. I wish you all the success you so 

 richly deserve.
