I enclose photograph of a freak set of 

 deer horns that are as pretty as any I ever 

 saw. Each horn has its separate burr, and 

 in pairs they are remarkably symmetrical. 



The deer was killed in this country by 

 George Lucas, an old homesteader, and the 

 mounted head is owned by Colonel Dickin- 

 son, our county clerk. ^

Some one asks what is tact. It is that 

 feeling which prompts a woman to dig up 

 the photograph of a friend who is coming 

 to visit, from the bottom bureau drawer, 

 and put it on the parlor mantel. — Atchison

Eminent Surgeon — I operated on Mr. 

 Bullion for appendicitis to-day. 



His Wife — Dear me ! I wonder who will 

 have it next ! 



Eminent Surgeon (absentmindedly) — I 

 don't know. I haven't decided yet. — Life. 



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 t F. Pope, Colmesneil, Tex,
