RECREATION. 



Something JVetv! 



PRESTO! CHANGE! 



Attachable Eyeglass Temples 



Every wearer of eyeglasses wishes occasionally that they 

 were spectacles. Spectacles stay on, however violent one's 

 exercise, however warm or stormy the weather. This little 

 device can be readily attached or detached without injury to 

 the lenses, thus in a second giving you the choice of either 

 spectacle or eyeglass. Just the thing for outdoor sports. 

 The Temple Attachment will fit any of your eyeglasses and 

 can be carried in the same case with them.

EVER NEW. 



Dodgin' round among the boulders, 



Whippin' with the bogus flies, 

 Rubberneck an' hump yer shoulders 



Lookin' fur a speckled prize. 

 Peerin' through the wavin' willers 



Eager fur to git a bite ; 

 Holy smoke ! I tell you fellers, 



That's the acme of delight; 

 That's the sport that sends the spirit 

 Up to heaven, or mighty near it ! 



Waters on the rocks a dashin* 



In their crystal, jolly fun, 

 Spray up in the air a flashin' 

 Liquid diamonds in the sun ; 

 Songbirds in the trees a singin' 



Sassy songs of music rare, 

 Butterflies around us wingin' 



Jes' like spangles in the air, 

 Breezes in their merry freaks 

 Coolin' down the fevered cheeks. 



Whiz ! A hungry trout has lighted 



On yer fly ! Jes' see him spin ! 

 Take it cool ! Don't git excited ! 



Let him play an' reel him in ! 

 How yer line does cut the water — 



Holy Moses! See him jump! 

 Steady now ! You hadn't oughter 



Let him rattle you, you chump ! 

 Give him line! What's that you say? 

 " ! !! !!! He got away!" 



O ! see here, now, stop yer cussin' ! 



Rippin' slivers from yer hat! 

 Doesn't help you out — sich fussin' 



' Bout a little thing like that ! 

 Runnin' swear-talk through yer throttle 



Puts no sweetness in yer cup ! 

 Hit the bait there in the bottle; 



Mebbe it'll brace you up. 

 'Twan't your fault, fur fishers say 

 Big 'uns alius git away. 



There's another ! How he rushes ! 



Lordamighty, see him jump! 

 Line all tangled in the bushes ! 



There you go agin, you chump ! 

 No, of course you didn't ketch him ! 



What the deuce you swearin' at? 

 How could you expect to fetch him 

 Through a network sich as that? 

 Git yer line ontangled, quick ! 

 Lots more beauties in the crick. 



Keeps a fishin' an' a r'arin' 



Round till day begins to wane, 

 Then he starts for home a swearin' 



He will never go again. 

 Meets a kid with fish — he eyes 'em — 



Never was a finer string — 

 Nobody in sight — he buys 'em — 



Then, a steppin' like a king, 

 Ambles homeward, mighty spry, 

 Loaded with the usual lie. 

 — James Barton Adams, in Denver Post.
