RECREA TION. 



This is a strong, heavy, well made bench 

 mould, cut for 6 of the largest Military and 

 Sporting bullets. Further information re- 

 lating to this and other goods of a like nat- 

 ure may be had by writing for a copy of the 

 Ideal Hand-Book. Mention Recreation. 



WESTWARD THROUGH THE ROCKIES. 



The traveler, tourist or business man is 

 wise when he selects the Rio Grande West- 

 ern Railway " Great Salt Lake Route " for 

 his line to the Pacific Coast. It is the only 

 transcontinental route passing directly 

 through Salt Lake City, and in addition to 

 the glimpse it affords of the Temple City, 

 the Great Salt Lake and picturesque Salt 

 Lake and Utah Valley, it affords the choice 

 of 3 distinct routes through the mountains, 

 and the most magnificent scenery in the 

 world. 



On all Pacific Coast tourist tickets stop- 

 overs are granted at Denver, Colorado 

 Springs, Manitou, Leadville, Glenwood 

 Springs, Salt Lake City, Ogden and other 

 points of interest. Double daily train ser- 

 vice and through Pullman and Tourist 

 sleeping cars between Denver and San 

 Francisco and Los Angeles. 



For illustrated pamphlets descriptive of 

 the " Great Salt Lake Route," write L. B. 

 Eveland, T. P. A., 305 West Ninth Street, 

 Kansas City, or F. A. Wadleigh, G. P. A., 

 Salt Lake City. 



A MATTER OF TASTE. 



If a man really prefers to wear a collar 

 that costs 25 cents, or even 15 cents, and 

 pays a laundry to transform it into a hideous 

 thing of torment and tatters — why — he can 

 do it of course. But a linen collar will stand 

 the average laundry one to 3 times. If it 

 endures 3 times that makes it wearable 4 

 times in all. Suppose it costs 15 cents — a 

 low price when new. The 3 washings, at 

 V/i cents each, brings the cost of 4 times 

 wearing to about 5 cents a time. Mean- 

 time it has shrunk or stretched, or acquired 

 a saw tooth edge, or the button holes have 

 torn out a.id much anguish of spirit has re- 

 sulted. Four Linene collars would have 

 looked as well, felt better and cost just half 

 as much, to say nothing of saving in 

 trouble. 



THE MEDICAL EXCURSION IN JUNE, TO DEN- 

 VER AND SALT LAKE CITY. 



The American Medical Association 

 meets at Denver June 7th to 10th. One of 

 the features of the gathering will be an ex- 

 cursion from Denver to Salt Lake City and 

 return, via the D. & R. G., Colorado Mid- 

 land, and Rio Grande Western railways, 

 through the " Heart of the Rockies," fur- 

 nishing a splendid opportunity to view the 

 most magnificent scenery on the American 

 Continent. Salt Lake City is an ideal sum- 



mer resort and the bathing at Saltair, in the 

 Great Salt Lake — an inland salt sea, nearly 

 a mile above sea level — is superb in June. 

 There are more attractions in and about 

 Salt Lake City than at any place in the 

 world. Write F. A. Wadleigh, G. P. A., 

 Rio Grande Western Ry., Salt Lake City, 

 for pamphlet on Salt Lake City and the 

 Rocky Mountains. 



TOURS IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. 



The " Scenic Line of the World," the 

 Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, offers to 

 tourists in Colorado, Utah and New Mex- 

 ico the choicest resorts, and to the trans- 

 continental traveler the grandest scenery. 



Write S. K. Hooper, G. P. & T. A., Den- 

 ver, Colorado, for illustrated descriptive 

 pamphlets. 



Nie and Dean, Grand Rapids, Mich.,, 

 have put on the market an automatic bell 

 ringer for bicycles. It consists of a seam- 

 less steel sleeve fitted loosely over the 

 handle bar, so that it may be easily rotated 

 thereon. To ring the bell a slight turn of 

 the hand inward is all that is required. It 

 is adapted to both gear and rotary bells, and 

 can be used on any standard handle bar,, 

 without making any change in it. 



It appears to be an excellent arrange- 

 ment, though I have not yet tested it. It 

 is certainly worth investigation, for it ap- 

 pears that by the use of this device, the 

 rider may ring his bell without in the least 

 loosening his hold on the grip — a feature 

 that is often desirable when riding in 

 crowded streets, or on bad roads where 

 every precaution must be taken to keep full 

 control of the wheel. Send for descriptive 

 circular. Mention Recreation. 



Hoskins and Sewell, 16 East 15th Street, 

 New York City, are making a light fold- 

 ing iron cot that is especially useful for 

 camps and summer cottages. It can be 

 folded up, during the day; and stored away 

 in the closet, or in a corner of the tent, so 

 as to occupy little more room than a grip 

 sack. Yet when opened out, at night, it is- 

 big enough for a full grown man, and is as 

 staunch and solid as an iron bedstead that 

 costs $100. It is clean, durable and will 

 stand any amount of hard usage that it can 

 possibly be subjected to. Send for a cir- 

 cular of it. You will like it if you ever try 

 it. I have slept on one of these cots, many 

 a night, and the only trouble with it is that 

 you do not want to get up when breakfast 

 is ready. 



Parker Bros., manufacturers of the old 

 reliable Parker gun, Meriden, Conn., have 

 lately issued a calendar, which contains the
