THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
October 26, 1895 
Humorous. 
Dk voted Admirer : “You don’t be¬ 
lieve in marrying for money do you, Miss 
R.?” Madge: “I don’t know Mr. J.; 
how much have you got ? ”— Modes and 
Fabrics. 
Walter: “Papa, how do you pro¬ 
nounce W-o-r-c-e-s-t-e-r ?” Papa : “Woos¬ 
ter.” Walter: “Well, if Worcester is 
pronounced Wooster, why isn’t Rochester 
pronounced Rooster ? ”— Harper's Round 
Table. 
After gazing rapturously upon the 
new baby, little Elsie whispered : “ Say, 
Bob, is she a sister or a brother ? ” And 
he replied contemptuously : “ Why, 
goosey, you never can tell until they’re 
named.”— Judge. 
The most absentminded man was not 
the man who hunted for his pipe when it 
was between his teeth, or the man who 
threw his hat out of the window and 
tried to hang his cigar on a peg. No ! 
But the man who put his umbrella to 
bed and went and stood behind the door. 
—Atchison Globe. 
Recently a Boston boy’s mother 
noticed that at bedtime every night he 
laid his little boots together upon their 
sides, instead of setting them upright. 
“ Please tell me why you always place 
your boots in that way,” she said. “Why,” 
answered the little boy, “ it’s because 
they must be tired walking so much all 
day. I lay them sideways so they can 
rest.”— Springfield Republican. 
People who were walking along a San 
Francisco street not long ago suddenly 
heard piercing cries from the upper 
story of a lodging-house, says the Post 
of that city. A woman was leaning from 
a window, and for a moment it was 
thought that some brute was trying to 
throw her out. A second look, however, 
showed that she held in her hand a bird¬ 
cage. She had been hanging it out of 
the window to give her bird the sun, 
when the bottom dropped out. The 
startled bird was fluttering about the 
top of its prison, and the woman was 
screaming: “ Oh, he’ll fall! he’ll fall ! 
My poor little birdie ! ” This was only 
for a moment. With great presence of 
mind she turned the cage upside down, 
so that her pet could not drop out and be 
dashed upon the cruel pavement. And 
then the captive went sailing away over 
the tops of the buildings. For some 
reason he did not fall.
