" Do you think," asked the intellectual 

 young woman, " there is any truth in the 

 theory that big creatures are better natured 

 than small ones? " 



" Yes," answered the young man, " I do. 

 Look at the difference between the Jersey 

 mosquito and the Jersey cow." — Life. 



There are still some unfortunate sports- 

 men who are not readers of Recreation. 

 If you know any such send in their names, 

 and greatly oblige them and 



The Editor. 



I have your book, " American Game 

 Fishes," which I think every sportsman 

 should have. 



G. N. Bulley, New Haven, Ct. 



I have read W. T. Hornaday's book, 

 " The Man Who Became a Savage," and 

 have greatly enjoyed it. It is a book for 

 these times. Everyone should read it. 



Geo. Hayden, Jacksonville, 111. 



" I see your son has turned out an artist, 

 Mr. Gibbs. How did that happen?" 



" I dunno sor, his mother thinks he was 

 left that way by the measles."
