7 and 9 Warren St., NEW YORK 



The game laws of this state opened No- 

 vember ist, and we are having the most suc- 

 cessful season in years. Game is plentiful 

 everywhere in this section. Snipe, doves 

 and teal ducks have been killed in large 

 numbers. Deer are plentiful on the small 

 sea islands adjacent to this city, and some 

 very pretty specimens have been brought in 

 during the past few weeks. For the first 

 time in several years quail are plentiful. The 

 heavy rains of this season came too late to 

 hurt either the first or second broods of 

 young, and some fine sport has been had 

 with them.

A HARD HIT. 



" What has Hobson done now, dear? " 



" He has raised the Maria Teresa." 



"It's a ship, isn't it?" 



" No, it's a grain elevator." 



" He must be very strong." 



" Oh, yes, Hobson's strong. Got right 

 under the keel, braced his back and there 

 you are." 



" I thought I read something about his 

 using wind bags? " 



" Yes, he had wind bags, but he didn't 

 need 'em much. Hobson is too strong to 

 need any help. Those wind bags weren't 

 any more use than a single ablebodied 

 man." 



" I see. If Hobson had you he wouldn't 

 need any other wind bags." 



" Say, now, don't you get gay." — Cleve- 

 land Plain Dealer. 



The Cuban insurgent shook his head sad- 



" And is it for this we have been fight- 

 ing? " he asked. 



" What's the matter? " said his compan- 

 ion. 



" The Americans say we must go to 

 work." — North American. 



For Sale: Live wild game, ducks, geese 

 and other similar fowls.
