HER ERRAND. 



H. H. RICHARDSON. 



George, dear, will you do an errand, 

 As you're coming home to-night; 

 Here's a list, the few things in it, 

 Will not take a minute quite, 

 They will make a little parcel 

 But I know you do not mind, 

 Mercy! don't forget the powder, 

 Dupont smokeless, that's the kind. 



And a tire, now remember, 

 Single tube, make no mistake, 

 And besides — well better send them — 

 Ten pounds of Spratts' dog cake; 

 And I want another brassey, 

 Sure, the kind that Golflett sells, 

 Oh, good gracious! I'd forgotten 

 Those U. M. C. paper shells. 



And I ought to have an Ideal loader, 

 Mine is not the best thing out. 

 There! I want some flies for salmon, 

 Mine are only fit for trout; 

 And George — can't you wait a second, 

 You're as restless as a stag; 

 Let me see! — oh, I remember, 

 Bring a Kenwood sleeping bag. 



Ada — Why does Alice speak of Tom as 

 her intended? Are they engaged? 



Beatrice — No ; but she intends they shall 

 be.— Tit-Bits. 



Hartley & Graham, 315 Broadway, New 

 York, send out a circular stating they have 

 secured a limited number of genuine Span- 

 ish Mauser repeating rifles, 7mm. calibre, 

 with knife bayonet and scabbard. Also a 

 lot of cavalry carbines, and a quantity of 

 ammunition for same. 



H. & G. are also prepared to supply sam- 

 ples of the Springfield rifle, .45 calibre, with 

 bayonet, and carbines of the same make. 



I received the Graphic camera you sent 

 me as premium and am much pleased with 

 it. It is handsome and strong, has every 

 modern attachment Jor universal photog- 

 raphy, and is easily the peer of any hand 

 camera I have ever seen. Your premiums 

 are, like Recreation, first class.
