RECREATION. 



HOW SULFLOW SLAUGHTERS 'EM. 



In July Recreation there was a repro- 

 duction of a photo showing a catch of fish 

 in Minnesota, accompanied by the proper 

 remarks. I enclose a clipping from Min- 

 neapolis Tribune of July 2d, containing pic- 

 ture of another of the bristly breed whose 

 education seems to have been neglected. 

 Henry A. Allen, Minneapolis, Minn. 



The clipping referred to by Mr. Allen 



picture of this catch which I will gladly 

 forward to you if you wish it. 



W. H. Sulflow, Minneapolis, Minn. 



I have already secured a copy of the pho- 

 tograph and so need not trouble you for 

 one. This and your letter show that you 

 are another thoughtless, reckless, ignorant 

 fish butcher. If you had kept pace with 

 the thought and sentiment of decent sports- 

 men the last few years, you would know 



ANOTHER MINNEAPOLIS BUTCHER. 



showed the photograph reproduced here- 

 with, and the statement that W. H. Sulflow 

 had caught 46 fish in one day. I wrote 

 Mr. Sulflow, asking if the statement was 

 true, and he replied : 



The number is correct ; 36 bass and 10 

 pickerel. They were caught between 6 and 

 10 o'clock in the morning. I have a good 



that in taking this number of fish in one day 

 you have disgraced yourself. You would 

 also know that in having those fish strung 

 up on clothes-lines, standing up alongside 

 of them in the proud, boastful, vulgar man- 

 ner you have assumed, and being photo- 

 graphed, you have placed yourself on record 

 as another member of the unfortunately and 

 disgracefully large herd of Minnesota 

 swine. — Editor. 



"O ! she's so sweet, so angelic and fair," 

 sighed Lovett Fursyte. "But I know I 

 shall never succeed in winning her love." 



"Nonsense!" exclaimed May Sharpe. 

 "Lots of other men have succeeded. Why 

 shouldn't you?" — Philadelphia Press.
