RECREATION. 



What's 

 the Use 



of walking when you 

 can get a f it st-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 1896, and 

 who now have their wheels. 



Write for particulars.

I spent the entire summer in the Clear- 

 water country, in the employ of the IL S. 

 Geological Survey, who were making a 

 triangulation survey with a view to setting 

 aside a large portion of that country for a 

 timber reserve. The proposed reserve em- 

 braces 6,000 square miles. If it should be 

 set aside it will in all probability be con- 

 ducted in part as the Yellowstone Park is, 

 and will put a stop to the slaughter of game 

 by trappers.

We have fine fishing here in the old 

 Wisconsin river, mostly small mouth bass 

 and pike; and on our big marshes, some 

 of the finest chicken shooting to be found 

 anywhere. 



We have 30 members in our fishing club, 

 and a club house and grounds about 7 

 miles up the river. Quite a number of 4, 

 4V2 and 5 pound bass were caught here last 

 season. 



Last fall a number of deer were killed 

 within a few miles of us. 



Alex. M. Muir, Grand Rapids, Wis. 



Snipe and plover were abundant last 

 spring, and there were a few ducks. I like 

 the way you give it to the hogs.
