The Canoeing Habit 
If you spend your vacations on a 
lake or river—which is the ideal 
way—you need a canoe. On hot 
summer days the coolest place is 
on the water in the shade of trees. 
There you can enjoy reading, or 
talking, or sleeping a hundred times 
better than on shore. 
First, get the right kind of canoe 
—a Rushton. Ask anybody who has 
used one, compare it with others, and 
you will agree that I make the best. 
My 30 years’ experience built in every one. 
My large illustrated catalogue will help you select the 
kind ef pleasure boat or canoe you prefer. Sent free,

A boy baby arrived at a certain house, 
and a visitor said to a little girl in the 
family: “Do you like the baby?” The 
little girl said she did, but would have pre- 
ferred a lady baby. “Well,” the visitor 
continued, “maybe you can exchange this 
one.” “No, I don’t think we could,” said 
the little girl, “because we have been using 
it for 7 or 8 days.”—Chicago Chronicle.
