" Paw was celebratin' the fifth anniver- 

 say of us bein' put on the county relief 

 books." — Indianapolis Journal. 



Every man may have his price, but it is 

 always greater than his neighbor thinks he 

 is worth. 



" Why is it that Davidson never goes out 

 with the boys any more?" 



" He has developed a habit of talking in 

 his sleep about things that he does in his 

 waking hours." — Chicago News. 



A woman may not be able to drive a nail, 

 but when it comes to driving a bargain she 

 is in her glory.

Leading features of July Recreation will 

 be: 



" A Three Cornered Fight with a Griz- 

 zly," by Wm. Jackson, illustrated by Bert 

 Cassady. 



" Boston and Baldy," illustrated by Er- 

 nest Seton Thompson. This is one of the 

 most thrilling fox hunting stories ever 

 written. 



" Finding a New Trout Stream," F. R. 

 Fouch, and other good stories, beside the 

 usual grist of short letters from tr~ game 

 fields, the fishing waters, the haunts of 

 birds, etc. 



I hope to be able to print in this issue 

 several of the prize winning photos from 

 the competition which closed April 30th. 



I am informed on what appears indisput- 

 able evidence, that Wm. Bettis, of Win- 

 chester, 111., who advertises dogs for sale, 

 is a fraud and a swindler. Business men in 

 his town say he has no kennel, never had 

 one, and that his statements cannot be be- 

 lieved, under any circumstances. 



" Witness," said the cross-examining 

 lawyer, " are you willing to swear the 

 prisoner was smoking a pipe at the time? " 



" No, sir," replied the witness; " I never 

 swear, but I am willing to bet you $10 to 

 $5 that he was." — Chicago News.
