I have just returned from the longest 

 fishing and hunting trip on record. Caught 

 all kinds of fish in all kinds of waters; 

 killed all kinds of game from elephants 

 to rats, and have only been gone 6 hours 

 by the clock which sits on my desk. 



I take one of these trips every time 

 Recreation reaches the newsstand. 



I shall shortly send you the names of- 

 the members of the St. Louis Revolver 

 Club, of which I am a member, and shall 

 ask each other member to become a sub- 

 scriber to the greatest publication of its 

 kind on earth, Recreation. 



May God bless your efforts to exter- 

 minate the game hogs. 



Ed. C Hill, St. Louis, Mo. 



The editor of a Fremont paper recently 

 received a chicken, which he took home 

 and enjoyed for dinner, supposing it to be 

 a token of appreciation from a discrimin- 

 ating reader. The following day he re- 

 ceived this letter : "Dear Editor : Yesterday 

 I sent you a chicken in order to settle a dis- 

 pute which had arisen here. Can you tell 

 what the chicken died of?" — Exchange. 



Don't forget that a year's sub- 

 scription to Recreation is the best 

 thing you can give a man or a boy 

 for a Christmas present.
