A prisoner was brought before a Dutch 

 justice in Eastern Pennsylvania charged 

 with stealing. 



"Guildy or nod guildy?" demanded the 

 justice. 



"Not guilty, your honor." 



"Den go avay. Vat you vand here? Go 

 apoud your bishness !" ** 



I received the Harrington & Richard- 

 son single barrel shot gun all right. It is 

 a beauty and am much pleased with it. 

 I can not see how you can afford to give 

 such valuable premiums.

Don't Handicap Yourself 

 with Poor Ammunition 



Tatham's Chilled Shot is the only kind you 

 can depend on. Is hard and round and 

 there is only one size in a bag. Poor shot 

 may do, but why use it when you can get 

 the best ? When you order shells specify 

 Tatham's Chilled Shot. It gives satisfac- 

 tion.

 SERENA, ILL. 



My mother, who is 50 years old, and 

 who never fired a gun in her life, likes 

 Recreation as well as I, and we nearly 

 quarrel over it when it first comes in the 

 house. My only brother, now in California, 

 used to say, when he saw me plunge into 

 a copy of Recreation, old or new, "Now 

 he is going to study his Bible." 



G. B. Dennick, Waldport , Or. 



The West End gun cabinet arrived 

 safe and is a beauty. It is useful as well 

 as ornamental, and I thank you for your 

 generosity. C. C. Vincent, Rochester,
