A CAMP TREASURE. 



While discussing guns and ammunition 

 it is strange to me that the brethren don't 

 say anything about other articles which go 

 to make up the hunter's kit. There are 

 many other articles which are quite as 

 essential to the comfort and pleasure of the 

 hunter as the gun or the load; for instance, 

 that most useful article in the camper's 

 kit, the Marble safety pocket axe. What 

 a boon to the camper-out this little tool is! 

 I have had one nearly 2 years, and have 

 used it for nearly every purpose to which 

 a thing of that kind could be put. I would 

 not be without one for 3 times its cost. 

 The safety guard on this little axe places 

 it far ahead of anything else in its class. 

 This enables anyone to pack it among 

 other utensils without damaging the edge 

 or injuring other articles. It can also be 

 carried in the hip pocket and scarcely be 

 noticed. If you are interested in getting 

 one of these little axes get up a club for 

 Recreation and obtain one as a premium, 

 or else write W. L. Marble for his book, 

 "The Story of an Axe." Let us hear from 

 others who have anything of interest. If 

 you have a good thing let your neighbor 

 know of it. If you see a good thing ad- 

 vertised in Recreation say so. There are 

 more good things to be found in Recrea- 

 tion than in any other magazine pub- 

 lished, regardless of price.
