RECREATION. 



I did not shoot. I did not try. I was 

 not disappointed. We went back to the 

 farm house without getting another chance. 

 What more should I have had ? What 

 more would you have? Sim got the coat 

 and 4 quarters and his strut was painfully 

 exquisite. I had 2 cock ruffed grouse and 

 had enjoyed my holiday to its full. A new 



page in my experience of the woods had 

 been bound in the Tome of Memories 

 whose reading would never dull, long 

 though my summers and winters might be. 



"Yet still in memory's magic glass, 

 Those blissful scenes unfading pass, 

 Nor may they fade as fades the past, 

 Till life is rendered up at last."

CALIFORNIA SEA LIONS. 



There was a vacant seat in the car. Little 

 Willie allowed the strange lady to take it, 

 although he looked very tired. 



"Thank you, my little gentleman," said 

 she. "Why didn't you take the seat your- 

 self? You look quite weary." 



"So'd you be weary, lady, if yer father 

 found out yer went fishin', like mine did." —
