THEATRICAL INSTITUTIONS. 



'Tis not the star, who, at the play, 



Is bent on winning tears, 

 Who drives the rest of earth away 



And holds your spellbound ears; 

 Who prompts you as your soul rebels 



Against life's way perplexed. 

 It is the man in front who tells 



Just what will happen next. 



'Tis not the singer with the note 



That shakes the chandelier, 

 Who sets your nervous thrills afloat 



Throughout the atmosphere. 

 It is not joy, alas! but woe 



Which fills your being there, 

 Caused by the girl behind, whose toe 



Keeps time against your chair. 



— Washington Star. 



Accept my thanks for the New Haven 

 hammerless double shot gun you sent me as 

 premium for a club of subscribers to Rec- 

 reation. It is a better gun than I ex- 

 pected to get for so little work. 



John A. Tunwall, Lynn Center, 111. 



Please accept my sincere thanks for the 

 double hammerless Shattuck gun you gave 

 me for subscribers to Recreation. Every- 

 one greatly admires it. 



T. H. Herman, Waukegan, 111.
