I bought a copy of Recreation to-day 

 and my ad shows up well. I am sure it will 

 bring me some business. I asked the news 

 dealer, of whom I bought the magazine, 

 which of the sportsmen's journals sold best. 

 He said Recreation was far the best seller 

 and that there were a good many subscribers 

 here too. 



I never miss a chance to put in a word for 

 you, and I am not the only friend you have. 

 Some men whom I meet speak so enthusi- 

 astically as almost to make me believe they 

 are working for you. No wonder your cir- 

 culation is growing, with such an army of 

 friends as you have. 



This Western country is full of good 

 shooters. There are gun clubs in every 

 town.

" In London they call a store a shop, don't 

 they?" 



" Yes." 



" And an elevator's a lift, isn't it? " 



" Yes." 



" Then I suppose they call an elevator boy 

 in a store a shoplifter? " — Chicago Tribune.
