This offer is made mainly 

 to introduce our Grand Im- 

 perial Sec Champagne and 

 our fine double-distilled 

 (J rape Brandy, without 

 which no Sportsman or 

 Hunter should start on an 

 expedition, as it is very 

 necessary where such exer- 

 cise is taken. This case of 

 goods is offered at about 

 one-half its actual cost and 

 it will please us if our 

 friends and patrons will 

 take advantage of this and

 Mention RECREATION 



A shrewd old lady cautioned her married 

 daughter against worrying her husband too 

 much, and concluded by saying, " My child, 

 a man is like an egg. Kept in hot water a 

 little while, he may boil soft ; but keep Him 

 there too long, and he hardens." 



" Officer, is there a good restaurant in this 

 neighborhood? " " Yes, ma'am, just around 

 the corner." " Is there a saloon attached 

 to it? " " No, but they'll send out and get 

 you anything you like, ma'am." — New York 

 Herald.

The Manager — This battle piece is all 

 right, except that you seem to have omitted 

 the groans of the wounded. 



The Orchestra Leader — I expect those to 

 be furnished by the audience. — Indianapolis 

 Journal. 



Angry Wife — It seems to me we've been 

 married a century. I can't even remember 

 when or where we first met. 



Husband (emphatically) — I can. It was 

 at a dinner party where there were 13 peo- 

 ple. 



TWO INKY WAYS. 



There was a man who advertised but once — a single time. 

 In spot obscure placed he his ad., and paid for it a dime. 



And just because it didn't bring him customers by score, 

 " All advertising is a fake," he said, or, rather, swore. 



He seemed to think one hammer tap would drive a nail clear in; 

 That from a bit of tiny thread a weaver tents could spin. 



If he this reasoning bright applied to eating, doubtless he 

 Would claim one little bite would feed ten men a century. 



Some day, though, he will learn that to make advertising pay 

 He'll have to add ads. to his ad. and advertise each day. 



— E. G. Townsend, in New York Sun.
