RECREATION FOR CHRISTMAS. 



The holiday season is again ap- 

 proaching, and generous, thoughtful 

 people are making up lists of presents 

 for their friends. All such good peo- 

 ple should remember that no more in- 

 teresting, valuable or appropriate pres- 

 ent for a man or a boy can be found 

 than a yearly subscription to Recre- 

 ation. There are many such people 

 who have sent in a number of sub- 

 scriptions at the end of each year, for 

 their friends, and who have announced 

 their intention of continuing this cus- 

 tom as long as they live. Recreation 

 is a great educator ; it is a mould- 

 er of good, sound sentiment with 

 regard to outdoor sports and the 

 preservation of wild animals, birds, 

 fishes and forests. It stands pre- 

 eminently for' clean sport and manly 

 manhood. It should, therefore, be in 

 the hands of every man and boy in 

 the land. Do not forget to include it 

 in your list.

THREE FRIENDS. 



BERT THORNDIKE. 



Give me a morning, crisp and clear, 

 When all nature's at rest and is still. 



At earliest dawn I dress and am gone, 

 For a grouse drums loud on the hill. 



Give me the gun I have always loved, 



'Tis a gun with a history, too. 

 Together we've tramped o'er mountain and 

 plain, 



Through good luck am bad we've been 

 true. 

 Give me my setter, Fairy Belle, 



And my outfit is quite complete. 

 Then we'll get game, be it wild or tame. 



We're a trio the birds can't beat. 



As an English tourist was passing Mark 

 Twain's home near Florence last winter one 

 of the humorist's dogs rushed out of the 

 gate and barked savagely at the stranger. 

 Mr. Clemens called the animal back and was 

 about to apologize for its attack when the 

 Britisher growled : "If I should kick that 

 brute, don't you know, perhaps he'd stop 

 barking at passers by." 



"Well, maybe he would," drawled Mr. 

 Clemens. "He never attempts to bark when 

 he has his mouth full of meat." — Springfield 

 Republican. 



Mother : What ! Fighting again ? Such 

 a black eye ! If you'd only follow the lead 

 of the minister's little boy 



Tommy : I did try to, but he lead agen 

 wid his right, an' dat's where he biffed 

 me. — Philadelphia Ledger. 



I look forward from one month to an- 

 other for Recreation. I take a number of 

 sportsmen's periodicals, but Recreation 

 leads them all.

I received the Davenport single gun- as 

 a premium for subscriptions and it is the 

 best gun I ever owned.
