" Faddler is a man who wants to be al- 

 ways on the go." 



"That's a fact; the other day I over- 

 heard him trying to rent an elevator for an 

 office." 



" Why is that Western park called the 

 'Garden of the Gods'?" 



" Well, it must be because the gods are 

 too stuck-up to pull weeds." 



Recreation is the best of all sportsmen's magazines. 

 Dr. A. W. Cassidy, Vigo, O. 



I get Recreation through the news- 

 dealer, and can hardly wait for the months 

 to come around. I wish you published 

 every week. 



I am a true lover of outdoor sports, but 

 don't get much chance to go away. Camp- 

 ing, shooting, and fishing are my greatest 

 pleasures. 



There are lots of good things in Recrea- 

 tion — the exchange column, amateur pho- 

 tography and natural history. In fact, it is 

 all good, and I read every bit of it, adver- 

 tisements and all. 



Another thing (the best of them all), is 

 your showing up these game hogs. It's a 

 shame that a man (or hog) should do such 

 things, and a stop should be put to it at 

 once. F. C. Buell, New Haven, Conn. 



" You sculptors never make equestrian 

 statues of women." 



" No; we never could find a woman- 

 model who wouldn't squeal and spoil her 

 pose when the horse stood on his hind 

 legs." 



" Don't say ' dead as a door-nail. 

 " Well, what shall I say?" 

 " Say ' dead as a '96 wheel.' " 



I have received the 45-70 Marlin rifle, as a 

 premium for club of subscribers to Rec- 

 reation. It is a handsome gun and a hand- 

 some premium, for my efforts. I thank you 

 for your liberality. 



Recreation is valuable to the tenderfoot 

 sportsman, as well as to the old stager, and 

 my friends are all well pleased with it. I 

 hope for its continued good work in behalf 

 of al 4 sportsmen. 



A. C. Bigelpw. Philadelphia, Pa. 



You are putting up a good fight for the 

 protection of game and fish.
