Flowers in 

 California 



Will soon break forth in their annual riot and smother 

 the earth with a blaze of color. 



But they are only one of innumerable charms 



of that summer-land, where thousands of winter tourists have 



fled from ice and snow, and found a region more 



delightful than the Mediterranean. 



Only 2f days from Chicago, and 4 from New York,

REMINGTON'S NEWSPAPER DI- 

 RECTORY FOR 1898. 



This is by far the largest and most com- 

 prehensive directory of newspapers ever is- 

 sued from Pittsburgh by the Remington Ad- 

 vertising Agency, and though it appears 

 under a new name, it is practically a continu- 

 ation of the old newspaper manual, for that 

 business center of the United States. It is 

 one of the most complete and reliable books 

 of its kind, handsomely and substantially 

 bound and the contents arranged for ready 

 reference. 



The directory contains full and complete 

 lists of all newspapers and other periodicals 

 published in the United States and Canada, 

 with their days of issue, politics and circula- 

 tion, and specially classified lists of the 

 principal dailies and weeklies, and the best 

 agricultural, religious, scientific and trade 

 publications and leading magazines. All the 

 lists are catalogued by towns in alphabetical 

 order, and in the general list the population 

 is given of each state, town and of the county 

 in which it is located. 



Containing as it does every particular nec- 

 essary for the general description of each 

 newspaper and periodical, it must be of 

 special value to the general advertiser, as a 

 reference work and in the compilation of his 

 lists. 



The directory is issued from the office of 

 Edward P. Remington, Newspaper Adver- 

 tising, Pittsburgh, Pa. 



TAKES GRIZZLY PETE SERIOUSLY. 



In October Recreation, Grizzly Pete 

 makes an attempt to convince me of the 

 merit of large bore, black powder guns. He 

 has only succeeded in proving himself one 

 of the few degraded men who — calling them- 

 selves hunters — are really game slaughterers 

 and hogs. He must feel proud of his record 

 and of his old blunderbuss. A sportsman 

 would not bang away at a bunch of cow elk. 

 He would pick one out; shoot it, and let the 

 rest go. Pete says he shot 3 bears through 

 the head at 3 shots; yet implies that they 

 were so far away he had to use a glass to see 

 if their fur was good. If he is such an ex- 

 pert why did he not do the same kind of 

 shooting at the elk, and not break the legs 

 of so many more than he killed? What had 

 he been doing with dynamite, that he should 

 hide it when the fish warden came? No; 

 Pete, I don't think you will get any decent 

 hunter to degrade himself by coming to you 

 for information on any subject. 



M. P. Dunham, Woodworth, Mont. 



Dear Sir: I received your letter asking 

 me if the report which you read in the even- 

 ing press was so. It is. I killed over 1,000 

 quail and averaged over 21 birds a day. I 

 used an old second hand 10 gauge gun. 



Samuel Cable, Sullivan, Mich. 



This hog deserves a place in the bottom- 

 less pit, as illustrated on page xxvii. of De- 

 cember Recreation.
