Friends just in from a goose hunt at Wil- 

 lows, Glenn county, say that their automatic 

 shot guns are simply great; nothing gets 

 away. One bunch of 8 birds all stopped by 

 2 guns. This is in line with your claim 

 that these guns are murderous. The use 

 of this gun will certainly exterminate water 

 fowl much quicker than would the ordinary 

 double or the pump gun. I have a 3-year- 

 old boy who takes a great notion to guns, 

 but if automatics are much used he will 

 never know the pleasure of wing shooting.

It was a well-dressed young, man, with 

 a sad. far-away look in his eyes, that stood 

 on the steps as the lady opened the door. 



"Excuse me, madam," he said, as he lift- 

 ed his hat, "but could you direct me to the 

 Home for the Friendless?" 



"Do you mean to say that you are seek- 

 ing it as a refuge?" she asked, in surprise. 



"I am, madam," he replied. "I am a 

 baseball umpire." — Chicago News. 



Recreation is the best magazine for 

 sportsmen in the country.

 fect working order and am well pleased 

 with it. I heartily thank you for your kind- 

 ness.

Bottom Boards rest on the frame, not on the canvas, ribbed longitu- 

 dinally and diagonally. They are stiffer and safer than a Wooden Boat 

 because the lines are fuller, and are much easier to row or paddle.
