S. K. Hooper, G. P. A., D. & R. G. rail- 

 way, has been unusually active during the 

 past few months in planting young trout in 

 the streams reached by that road. More 

 than 6,000,000 fry have been liberated since 

 August 1st. This, in connection with the 

 work done in previous season, means that 

 sportsmen may reasonably expect to find 

 good fishing in all the D. & R. G. territory 

 within the next few years.

"I never become angry because a man 

 does not think quite as I do," remarked 

 the professor ; "for when I find a man who 

 disagrees with me I realize that it is prob- 

 ably with difficulty he thinks at ail." — 

 Judge. 



The gun Pop looked in wasn't loaded, 

 And yet in Willy's hands exploded ! 

 "What can't be cured must be endured," 

 Said Willy. "Pop was well insured.'"

Indian Baskets: I have a few rare and 

 beautiful baskets made by Alabama In- 

 dians living near me, which I will ex- 

 change for yearly subscriptions to Rec- 

 reation at the rate of one basket for 4 

 subscriptions. Many dealers in Indian 

 curios sell these baskets for several dol- 

 lars each. Here is a chance to get one 

 free. Nothing finer for a Christmas 

 present. Full description and photo for 

 5 cents. These Indians also make from 

 the inner fiber of Spanish moss, the best 

 saddle blankets in the world. These 

 blankets are cool to a horse's back, do 

 not become hard and stiff and will last 

 for years, as they are well made and 

 positively will not rot, the inner fiber of 

 Spanish moss being absolutely impervi- 

 ous to moisture. Will give one blanket 

 for 3 subscriptions to Recreation. The 

 above articles are guaranteed to give sat- 

 isfaction. E. F, Pope, Colmesneil, Tex.
