This is a dense nitro • powder wbich Is 

 guaranteed to keep in any climate with- 

 out losing its strength* 



It is clean, quick and strong, giving a 

 high velocity with a very close and reg - - 

 ular pattern* 



Considering its many superior qualities 

 it is cheaper than any other powder on 

 the market at the same price, or that 

 costs less*

I have read Recreation since June '98 

 and like it very much, but one thing I 

 cannot understand. I hear a constant 

 growling about hounds. Now if the city- 

 sportsmen would quit their growling about 

 hounds and see that the laws were en- 

 forced they would have more grouse to 

 shoot. I detest dogging grouse with set- 

 ters and pointers just as much as they do 

 hounding deer. I do not see much dif- 

 ference. 



Chas. Acker, Aaronsburg, Pa. 



Ole Sieverson and Adolph Carlson, of 

 Mason, Wis., were hunting deer in that 

 State in September last — a month before 

 the opening of the legal season. The men 

 became separated and Carlson seeing the 

 brush moving a short distance from him 

 supposed the disturbance was caused by 

 deer and fired into the thicket. He bagged 

 his partner, who died a few hours after. It 

 is a great pity Sieverson did not re- 

 turn the fire and finish up his murderer. 



He gazed upon her fair young face, 

 Her starry eyes, her form of grace, 

 And leaned to listen when she spoke — 

 These were her words: "That ain't no 

 joke." — Chicago Record.
