" I don't have any trouble keeping my 

 calendar leaves torn off." 



"Don't, eh?" *" 



" No; my typewriter girl is always look- 

 ing ahead to see when the next pay day 

 comes." — Chicago Record. 



I have not before acknowledged the re- 

 ceipt of the Cyclone Camera you sent me 

 as a premium, for I wanted to prove its 

 worth. Have done so now and send you 

 herewith a picture of my place of business, 

 taken and finished by myself, without any 

 assistance or knowledge of photography 

 other than that contained in the instruc- 

 tions accompanying the camera. I thank 

 you for the present, for such I consider it. 

 W. B. Smith, Maxwell, Cal. 



The picture is excellent, considering the 

 facts stated above. — Editor. 



Judge — The prisoner denies that he was 

 in a state of intoxication, when arrested. 



Sheriff — Well, your honor, he was in 

 Kentucky. 



I beg to acknowledge the receipt of the 

 New Haven Arms Co.'s double hammerless 

 shot-gun, as a premium for 30 subscriptions 

 to Recreation. Allow me to thank you 

 for the same, with a big T. I am delighted 

 with the gun. It is O. K. The shape is 

 symmetrical, it is well balanced, shoots hard 

 and close, and fits me like a duck's foot in 

 the mud. I take great pleasure in showing 

 my gun to my friends, and telling them to 

 go and do likewise. 



C. L. Stevens, Lanesville, Ct. 



Mrs. Jaggs — If I got as intoxicated as 

 you do I'd go off somewhere and shoot 

 myself. 



Jaggs — N-no you (hie) wouldn't, m' 

 dear. If you wash (hie) hafsh as 'tox'cated 

 as I am you couldn't (hie) hit shid of barn.

E. D. Fulford, who won the grand 

 American handicap, in March last, used 

 a Remington gun, C. E. grade, listed at 

 $95, and U. M. C. factory loaded trap. No. 

 3 shells. Mr. Fulford killed 47 birds 

 straight, which was one of the most re- 

 markable performances ever seen at the 

 trap, under similar conditions. This is a 

 good record for the Remington gun and 

 the U. M. C. ammunition. Trap shooters 

 everywhere will study these facts carefully 

 when next planning to buy a gun. 



" Who gives this bride away? " asked the 

 minister. 



" I do, willingly," replied her father, inno- 

 cently, with an approving smile at the 

 groom. — Philadelphia North American, 



I thank you, most heartily, for the Syra- 

 cuse gun you so kindly gave me for a club 

 of subscribers to Recreation. 



I am more than pleased with the gun. It 

 has given satisfaction in every way, and, 

 considering the small amount of labor nec- 

 essary to get subscribers it is certainly a 

 very liberal premium. 



Recreation is always a welcome visitor, 

 and I shall be glad to forward its interests 

 whenever an opportunity presents. 



Reeves H. Iszard, Atlantic City, N. J. 



The native — Am I to understand that 

 your religion lets a man have only one 

 wife? 



The missionary from Chicago — At a 

 time. — Cincinnati Enquirer. 



Schoverling, Daly & Gales have moved 

 from 302 Broadway, to 325 Broadway. 

 They will occupy this store until some time 

 next fall. Meantime, a new building is be- 

 ing put up, at their old stand, and when 

 completed Schoverling, Daly & Gales, will 

 return to the place where sportsmen have 

 been accustomed to find them for so many 

 years. It is said that when this new build- 

 ing is finished, S. D. & G. will have the 

 finest sporting goods store in the United 

 States. 



Arthur — Has she given you any reason 

 to hope? 



Chester — Yes, she told me last night 

 I reminded her of the only husband she 

 had ever really loved. — Chicago News.

 as to have her husband laugh when she 

 says she has always prided herself on her
