HOW IT WAS DONE. 



The accompanying drawing shows how it 

 is done. 



R. D. Von Nieda, Ephrata, Pa. 



A boy was spending his vacation in the 

 country with his grandparents. One day 

 he was walking in the fields with his grand- 

 father, and was surprised to see all the 

 cows chewing their cuds. Not understand- 

 ing what it meant, he exclaimed : 



"Do you have to buy chewing gum for 

 all them cows, grandpa?" — Albany Journal. 



Father (from top of staircase) — Ethel, 

 is that young man gone? 

 Ethel — Awfully, pa. — Grit. 



ROAST PORK. 



E. L. TAYLOR. 



We vas sometimes tink's allreatty dot der 



pigs hafe all been found 

 But we'll read of some in next month's 



Recreation. 

 Dot no hunter mon vos smaller as a flea 



dot zhumps around 

 But we'll read of him in next month's 



Recreation. 

 Mit his leedle dog und gun tin anodder hog 



to boot 

 He'll start oud in der morning for a day 



of grunt und shoot. 

 A million years togedder wit der pigs dey 



ought to root 

 Und read a page each day in Recreation. 

 Dere's bristles on anodder hog all up und 



down his spine. 

 We'll read of him in next month's Recrea- 

 tion. 

 He's got a dollar und he owns a rod and 



line — 

 About it we will read in Recreation. 

 He's fishing in der morning und he's fish- 

 ing in der night. 

 He's fishing yet to-morrow if der fish will 



only bite. 

 Und dere he has a photo made 

 Sh.ust like it was all right 

 For decent men to see in Recreation. 

 They vas need a roasting und they needs 



it mighty bad 

 They'll get it too I think in Recreation. 

 But nodding ever enters there to make 



a sportsman mad — - 

 Each one has got a friend in Recreation. 

 Ven I eats mine saur kraut und drinks 



mine lager beer, 

 Coquina's health I give a toast und wish 



dot he vos here, 

 I'd like to shook him by der hand dot pulls 



der butcher's ear. 

 I do it too by reading Recreation. 



BLONDES. 



Blondes are of 2 kinds: the real and the 

 chemical. It has, however, been ascertained 

 by several observers that real blondes are 

 often false. 



The real blonde ranges 4 to 6 feet in 

 height and over various parts of the coun- 

 try. Her eyes are gray, blue and goo-goo. 

 In common with others oi her sex, she is 

 supported at length with some difficulty, but 

 at short intervals with ease. She toys with 

 her victims and delights in being loved. 



The chemical blonde is self made and 

 correspondingly independent. She is man- 

 ufactured extensively in all districts, and 

 appears to be much brighter than she 

 really is. She is easily caressed, and ex- 

 pensive when allowed to have her own way. 



Her eyes and her ways are apt to be 

 dark. — Life.
