THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Jaiiuarj 17, 190:i 
HUMOROUS 
A beautiful lady named Psyche 
Is loved by a follow named Yche. 
One thine about Ych 
The lady can’t lych 
Is his beard, which is dreadfully spyche. 
—Answers. 
“I HOPE you never talk back when 
naughty boys call you bad names?” 
“No, ma’am. I’m a little tongue tied 
I always hit ’em with a rock.”—Cleve¬ 
land Plain Dealer. 
“To demonstrate the mysterious work- j 
ings of Providence,” says a Billville ex¬ 
change, “while it is true he was run over 
by the train, the engine only cut off the 
leg that had the rheumatism In it.”— 
Atlanta Constitution. 
“Hiuam, I see where that college that 
our Zeke goes to up in Chicago has 
bought 50,000 bugs.” “Gosh, Mandy, 
don’t send any more money, an’ maybe 
we can pay his schoolin’ in Potato hugs.” 
—Chicago Daily News. 
“A noRSE ran away with my brother, 
and he hasn’t been out of doors for 
three weeks.” “That’s nothing; my 
brother ran away with a horse, and he 
hasn’t been out of doors for three 
years.”—Baltimore American. 
Physician (with his ear to patient’s 
breast) • “There is a curious swelling 
over the regions of the heart, sir, which 
must be reduced at once.” Patient 
(anxiously): “That ‘swelling’ is my 
pocketbook, doctor. Please don’t reduce 
it too much.”—Credit Lost. 
I 
The Rector’s Dauchier; “My father 1 
feels it very much, Mrs. Barker, that j 
you should leave the church every Sun- j 
day just before the sermon. Don’t you j 
think you might try and stay in fu¬ 
ture?” Mrs. Barker: “I dursn’t do it, 
miss. I do snore that dreadful when 
I’m asleep.”—Punch. 
“What do you consider the most im- 
jiortant branch of education?” “Arith¬ 
metic.” answered Mr. Cumrox; “give a j 
boy plenty of arithmetic. What blights i 
the careers of so many young men is 
the failure to realize that you can’t sub¬ 
tract a $5,000 expense account from a 
$1,000 income.”—Washington Star. 
Pa he sat down on ma’s old hat— 
Pa’s big around and wide and fat— j 
And when he saw what he had done | 
He rose and seemed to want to run. 
Put ina, she grabbed It with a smile 
And said: “Pand sakes! It’s just the 
style.’’ —Chicago Record-Herald.

WATER. 
If you want water only when the wind blows a windmill will do your work 
and cost less money than our Rider and Ericsson Hot-Air Pumps, but If you want 
water every day while your fiowers are growing and do not want your pump blown 
down when the wind blows too hard, no pump in the world can equal ours. We 
have sold about 20,000 of them during the past twenty-five years, which Is proof 
that we are not making wild statements. 
Our Catalogue “C 4” will tell you all about them. Write to nearest store.
