STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. 



The Enterprise Mfg. Co., of Akron, O., 

 reports its works once more running on 

 full time. They shut down to repair fire 

 damages caused by lightning. They have 

 made many improvements in their plant 

 and equipment, adding new labor saving 

 machinery and tools, and are better pre- 

 pared than ever to fill the large and con- 

 stantly increasing demand for their goods, 

 from home and foreign trade. The Secre- 

 tary of the Company, Mr. E. A. Pflueger, 

 reports the volume of the season's busi- 

 ness as highly satisfactory and the outlook 

 bright. 



Buxom Widow (at evening party) — Do 

 you understand the language of flowers, 

 Dr. Crusty? 



Dr. Crusty (an old bachelor) — No, 

 ma'am. 



You don't know if yellow means jeal- 

 ousy? 



Dr. — No, ma'am. Yellow means bilious- 

 ness! — Tit-Bits. 



" Yes, sir," said Jack Dashaway, fiercely, 

 " I've sold my tandem ! I got thoroughly 

 tired of doing all the pumping and then 

 hearing that the girl I took out bragged 

 about her wonderful endurance to ride 

 20 miles and never feel tired." — Judge. 



Mrs. Hayseed (on her first visit to town) 

 —One would think that big store I was 

 just in would do considerable business, but 

 I suppose most of the crowd jest looks 

 around and goes out ag'in. My! Wasn't 

 there a commotion when I bought some- 

 thing and paid for it. 



Hostess — A commotion? 



Mrs. Hayseed — Mercy, yes! Jest as 

 quick as that clerk girl got my money she 

 began yelling " Cash! " like mad, and half 

 a dozen little errand boys came rushing 

 up to see it. — Philadelphia Press. 



I want the names of all the gun clubs in 

 the U. S. and Canada, and the names and 

 addresses of the Secretaries thereof. Read- 

 ers of Recreation will do me a valuable 

 service by kindly giving me such infor- 

 mation. 



" Who was that man who said he would 

 enlist if there were not so many ties to hold 

 him at home? " 



" He keeps a gents' furnishing goods 

 store." — Cleveland Plain Dealer.
