RECREATION, 



What's 

 the Use 



of walking; when you 

 can get a first-class, high- 

 grade bicycle for nothing? 



How? 



By getting 75 subscriptions for 



Recreation 



If you live in a town of 3,000 

 or more, and if you are a hustler 

 you can get these in 2 days. 



I can give you the names of 20 

 people who did this in J 896, and 

 who now have their wheels* 



"Write for particulars. 



RECREATION

AROUND YELLOWSTONE PARK. 



"A climb up Electric Peak; a ride over 

 Mount Everts; a trip to Yancey's; pad- 

 dling about Yellowstone Lake; camping out 

 down at Two Ocean Pass; a ride into the 

 Hoodoo country; an excursion down the 

 Madison to Riverside — all these can be 

 made from some one of the hotels as a ren- 

 dezvous, and take my word for it you will 

 be surprised at the results 



" Make up a party of congenial spirits for 

 vacation time in 1897, and go out to Yel- 

 lowstone Park and see how much of its 

 3,344 square miles can be seen before you 

 return. Spend the heated summer season 

 at hotels where the temperature and alti- 

 tude will allow genuine comfort and recrea- 

 tion." 



The above is from a description of Yel- 

 lowstone Park, in " Wonderland '97." This 

 book will be sent to any address by Chas. S. 

 Fee, General Passenger Agent, Northern 

 Pacific Railway, St. Paul, Minn., upon re- 

 ceipt of 6 cents. 



Can any reader of Recreation tell me of 

 a place in the West or Northwest where 1 

 can live cheaply and have good hunting and 

 fishing?
