A RARE BARGAIN. 



If you have not yet ordered a set of the 

 Hudson pictures, illustrating the poem 

 "To My Gun," you should do so at once. 

 Only a few sets were printed, and about 

 half of them have already been sold. No 

 more will be printed, as the plates were 

 too much worn in running the November 

 edition of Recreation to make any more 

 good impressions. Only $i for the 5 full 

 page artist's proofs. Nothing finer could 

 be found at the price, for decorating an 

 office, a dining-room, a parlor or a den. 



Twynn — I hear you are living at Mrs. 

 Small-Porshun's now? 



Triplett — It is a mistake. I am only 

 boarding there. — Judge.
