RECREATION. 



XXXIX 



MUTUAL. 

 You say that you will pity us, my dear, 

 When rolling breakers strike in clouds 



of spray 

 Along the rocks, you'll pity us that stay 

 And suffocate in city quarters here? 



And I, while sipping juleps at the club, 

 When from the inland blows the sultry 



breeze 

 That brings the dread mosquito from the 

 trees — 

 I'll pity you, and seek my porcelain tub ! 



J. H. EL, in Life. 



"Who is that distinguished looking 

 man over there with the worried expres- 

 sion on his face?" 



"That's Colonel Timms. He's our rich- 

 est citizen. He's also a trustee of our 

 local college." 



"But why does he look so careworn 

 and anxious?" 



"Because he's in a constant worry for 

 fear John D. Rockefeller will give the 

 college a big wad of cash on condition 

 that the trustees raise as much more!" — 

 Cleveland Plain Dealer.

 for 

 Baby, too.

Recreation is growing in popularity in 

 this vicinity and I note much benefit from 

 its teachings. One of your readers said 

 to me the other day, "I don't want to 

 shoot so much game as I did before I read 

 Recreation." I also hear that a club has 

 been made up here, the young man who 

 started it being a converted pot hunter.
