“I have taken the Rural for nearly 30 
years, and one time I got 49 subscribers 
for it, and always speak a good word for 
it. I would give up every paper rather 
than it. J. d. Roberts.”

were raised at the Rural Grounds the past

“Well,” sb Id an Irish attorney, “if It plaze 
the Court, If 1 am wrong in this, I have an¬ 
other point that is equally conclusive.” 
“Robbie,” said the visitor, “have you any 
little brothers and sisters?” “No,” replied 
wee Robbie; “I’m all the children we’ve got.’’ 
Guest— Waiter, did you say t.liia was gen¬ 
uine turtle soup? Waiter—Yes, sir; it was 
made out of the water of a pond near here in 
which a turtle was kept last Summer. 
“Shall I take your love to your mother?” 
said a lady visitor who was going to see the 
mother in question to a little child of three 
years. “She has my love,” was the quaint 
reply. 
A CHICKEN with & clipped wing made 
several ineffectual attempts to fly over a fence. 
An Irishman who witnessed the efforts of the, 
•‘chick,” laughingly exclaimed, “Begorra, she 
has a defective flew.” 
A man declared that he could invent a ques¬ 
tion to which 50 people would all give the same 
answer. The question was: “Have you heard 
that Smith has committed suicide f* The 
answer in each case was, “What Smith ?” 
Doctor— “You need exercise; what is your 
employment?” Patieut — “I am a mason.” 
Doctor—“But then you cannot lack exercise." 
Mason—“That depends. Sometimes, you know 
we work by the day and sometimes by the 
job?” 
“Has my client anything rig-lit?’ asked a 
counselor, out of patience, o K a brother 
wrangler at the bar. “I know not,” was the 
response. “But one thing is certain—when 
you get through with him he’ll have nothing 
left.” 
“See here, my friend, that dog of yours 
killed three sheep of mine last night, and I 
want to know what you propose to do about 
it ” “Are you sure it was my dog?” “Yes.” 
“Well, I hardly know what to do. I guess I 
had better sell him. You don’t want to buy 
a good dog, do you ?”
