THEY ALL KNEW HOW. 



When Cleopatra, wise old girl, 

 Got gay one night and drank a pearl, 

 All frugal folk cried out, "For shame!" 

 But marveled at her just the same, 

 And she was right and she was wise 

 To thus get in and advertise. 



When Cheops made his subjects bid 

 On contracts for a pyramid, 

 He got a tomb well worth a king, 

 Though not a very useful thing, 

 But he was right and he was wise 

 To thus get in and advertise. 



When old Diogenes began 

 Pot hunting for an honest man 

 His chances for success were slim; 

 But folks began discussing him — 

 And he was right and he was wise 

 To thus get in and advertise. 



When Dr. Johnson made a spree 

 Of forty-seven cups of tea 

 He surely showed his savoir faire 

 By having Mr. Boswell there; 

 And he was right and he was wise 

 To thus get in and advertise. 



'Tis sad, but it is true, the same, 

 That those who fill the Book of Fame 

 Have left their records, more or less, 

 Through some tremendous foolishness ; 

 Yet they were right and they were wise 

 To thus get in and advertise. 



Blame not the actress out of funds 

 Who plans to lose her diamonds, 

 Blame not the millionaire who capers 

 To get his actions in the papers ; 

 They've little to immortalize, 

 But they at least can advertise. 



— Wallace Irwin in Life. 



I received the Marble axe and Luther 

 gloves as premium for subscriptions to your 

 magazine. After giving both a trial during 

 a 10 days' hunting trip I find them far more 

 serviceable than I should have expected.

The Webber hand knit shooting jacket 

 which you ordered for me arrived the other 

 day. I must express my thanks for your 

 liberality in sending such a valuable pre- 

 mium.

I thank you for the Bristol rod. It is 

 first class in every particular,
