THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
September 8 
Humorous. 
The fool-killer sat on the mossy bank, 
lie did; 
And watched a youthful summer crank, 
Which did, 
As we have often made a note. 
Stand up and, laugbliiK, rock the boat. 
The fool-killer, smlllnK, said: “Te he.” 
He did; 
“That fellow Is doing my work for me,” 
And he did. 
—Detroit Free Prete. 
“ Doks your new dress fit you well, 
Clara?” “Oh, splendidly! I can hardly 
move or breathe in it.”— Tld Bits. 
She : “ And don’t you consider mar¬ 
riage to be an important subject ?” He: 
“Oh, more—it’s a serious slip, you know.” 
—Life. 
“Don’t fool with a wasp because you 
think he looks weak and tired. You 
will find out he’s all right in the end.”— 
Lowell Courier. 
Miss Pbimlips : “ When you say your 
prayers at night, do you pray for all 
men?” Miss Leftover: “No, indeed! 
Just one would be enough.”—Life. 
The custard pie is the poor man’s nat¬ 
ural dessert. There is no aristocracy 
about the custard pie. That is to say, 
no upper crust.— Boston Transcrivt. 
“Thky’s one good thing ’bout these 
here congressmen,” said Farmer Corn- 
tossel’s wife. “ Whut’s thet ? ” “They 
don’t never seem ter get discontented 
with their jobs and strike.”— Credit Lost. 
Paul: “I don’t see anything so very 
funny about your mustache.” Mr. Toots: 
“ What do you mean ? ” Paul: “I heard 
sister tell you last night that it tickled 
her half to death.”— The World. 
Husband: “You are naturally of an 
unhappy disposition, that’s all that’s the 
matter.” Wife: “That’s your theory, is 
it?” Husband: “I never saw you happy.” 
Wife: “That’s because you never saw 
me before I met you.”— Boston Home 
Journal. 
Mothek (coming’nexcitedly): “There! 
Father can milk after this, I think! I 
tied Old Red, but those big flies made 
her so nervous that she kicked the milk 
over and drenched me ; then threw her¬ 
self on the ground in her frantic strug¬ 
gles to get away.” Ollie (aged 11; 
calm, but interested) : “Would you call 
that a case of nervous prostration, 
mother ? ” 
With pardonable pride a lady dis¬ 
played a very ancient piece of house linen 
to her servant, saying, as she held it up 
for inspection : “ Look, Bridget, at this 
tablecloth ; it has been in our family 
for over 200 years.” Bridget eyed the 
article in question carefully, and then, 
stepping close up to her mistress, re¬ 
marked in a most confidential tone: 
“Sure, never mind, Mrs. Arthur, dear. 
If you kape quiet about it, and don’t let 
on to anybody, who would know but 
what it was bought bran’ new out of the 
shop ? "—Tid Bits.
