I am interested in your plain way of deal- 

 ing with game hogs. I have seen a few of 

 them and think it is a little rough on the 

 natural animal. Otherwise you are all 

 right. L. B. Knight, St. John, N. B. 



I look forward to the coming of Rec- 

 reation with great pleasure. I take sev- 

 eral other magazines, but none of them 

 comes up to Recreation. 



I have just organized a gun club here, 

 and have named it " Recreation Rod and 

 Gun Club." 



Jas. Russell, Cambridge, Mass. 



I thank you sincerely for the honor thus 

 conferred and send you herewith a flag, 

 duly inscribed, which kindly present to the 

 club, with my compliments. — Editor. 



They had a war correspondent in court 

 in an Eastern city. He said to the judge: — 



" Do you want me to tell the truth about 

 this matter? " 



" No," said the judge. " I don't expect 

 it. Just do the best you can!" — Atlanta 

 Constitution. 



The boy stood on the burning deck 



And didn't care a durn — 

 His father was a billionnaire 



And he had decks to burn.

The tent you ordered sent me from D. T. 

 Abercrombie & Co., was duly received and 

 I am more pleased with it than I can tell 

 you. It is much nicer than I expected, for 

 25 subscriptions, and I feel more than re- 

 paid for my efforts in securing subscribers 

 for Recreation. 



It is a pleasure for me to work for Rec- 

 reation, for all who have subscribed, 

 through me, are well pleased with the mag- 

 azine. James E. Barton, 

 445 Gifford St., Syracuse, N. Y. 



I think there is going to be a good crop 

 of grouse through this state this summer. 

 I see some already that are nearly as large 

 as quail. D. C. Covert, Norfolk, Neb. 



Recreation is the stuff as an advertising 



medium. I received 29 answers to my ad. 



and my boat is gone and I have a good 



gun in place of it. Long live Recreation. 



C. E. Rathbun, Norwich, N. Y. 



He raved about the red, red wine 

 That sparkled in the flagon, 



And, later, paid ten dollars' fine 

 Because he had a "jag" on. 



What is the difference between B. C. and 

 the islands taken by the United States? 



One is full o' pines, the other Phil o' 

 pines.
