RECREATION. 



You are taking the right stand in pub- 

 lishing the names of game hogs in various 

 localities. One of our leading meat market 

 men and a hotel keeper are fine, fat fish 

 hogs. They speared 120 pike in one even- 

 ing, 162 on another. Am sorry to acknowl- 

 edge that a member* of our local gun club 

 has made a practice of pot hunting and 

 slaughtering game for years back. Grau 

 will do differently this year if he remains 

 with the club. 



Game is getting scarce here, and unless 

 our laws are enforced we will have no 

 shooting or fishing. The selection of a 

 game warden has been carried into politics, 

 and we are represented by a man who 

 knows nothing, and cares less, about the 

 protection of game. We are trying hard to 

 have someone appointed who will act in 

 the interest of law abiding citizens.

Rabbits are plentiful here; also ground 

 hogs. Squirrels are scarce in the bottoms 

 but abundant in the flats. There are 2 fox 

 dens on this place and the Batavia fox 

 hunters have a hunt or 2 every fall and win- 

 ter. Coons and 'possums are plentiful. 

 There are a few woodcock and snipe and 

 sometimes a flock of ducks or geese. The 

 East fork of the Little Miami river runs on 

 2 sides of this place and if it were not for 

 illegal catching of fish this stream would be 

 as good for bass fishing as any in Southern 

 Ohio. S. D. Martin, Bantam, O. 



" Johnny, Johnny, didn't I ask you once 

 to stop whistling at the table? " 



" Yes'm." 



" Well, do you want me to ask you 

 again; 



" No'm. I don't want you to make no 

 bad breaks."' 



" Bad breaks! What do you mean, John- 

 ny?" 



" Well'm, you said it was very impolite 

 to ask for things twice at the table." — Pitts- 

 burg Bulletin. 



Kind Old Man (to sobbing urchin) — My 

 little lad, you shouldn't cry that way. 



Urchin — What other way kin I cry? — 

 Pittsburg Bulletin. 



Mr. Isolate (of Lonelyville) — Have you 

 told the new cook I go in on the 6:18 train 

 in the morning, Amabel?. 



Mrs. Isolate (wearily) — Yes, Ferdinand, 

 and she says she does, too! — Puck. 



" See here, what burst this door off the 

 hinges? " 



" Man who rents the flat sneezed in his 

 parlor, sir, an' there wasn't room for the 

 concussion." — Cleveland Plain Dealer. 



" How did you come out, Tom, when you 

 went to see her father to press your suit? " 



" Come out? In such a manner, dear boy, 

 that there isn't enough left of that suit to 

 take any further pressing." — Judge.
