HUMOROUS 
The meanest man I ever knowed 
Wuz named Augustus Howell; 
He let his hair grow nine foot long. 
Then used it for a towel. 
—Penn Punch Bowl. 
WiLLre: “Tuis is an excellent picture 
of you, Miss Marie. I wish I owned the 
original.” Marie; ‘‘You may have the 
negative.”—Pittsburg Dispatch. 
Miss Malaprop: “I walked 25 miles 
yesterday.” Mr. Parlormop: ‘‘Did you 
wear a pedometer?” Miss Malaprop: 
O, no, indeed—^just a short skirt.”—Har¬ 
vard Lampoon. 
‘‘Have you noticed any signs of im¬ 
provement to-day?” asked the doctor. 
‘‘Oh, yes,” replied the nurse. ‘‘He swears 
now when I give him his medicine.”— 
New York Sun. 
‘‘Here, take this rifle!” cried the ex¬ 
cited showman. ‘‘The leopard has es¬ 
caped. If you And him shoot him on 
the spot.” ‘‘Which s-spot, sir?” gasped 
the green tent boy.—Chicago News. 
Near-sighted Clerk: ‘‘Do you sol¬ 
emnly swear to speak the truth, the 
whole truth and nothing but the truth, 
so help you—” Horrifled Victim: ‘‘Great 
Csesar’s GhO'St, no! I’m the lawyer for 
the defense!”—Baltimore American. 
The Professor of History: ‘‘In the 
Great Rebellion, how many soldiers 
fought on the Union side?” The Pupil: 
‘‘About flfteen million.” ‘‘Great Scott, 
man! You must have got your informa¬ 
tion from the pension lists!”—Life. 
‘‘We may not have much Summer dr. 
our latitude,” muttered the professor, 
looking at the thermometer and noting 
that the temperature had fallen 30 de¬ 
grees in 24 hours, ‘‘but we have a great 
deal of latitude in our Summers.”—Chi¬ 
cago Tribune. 
Exasperated Pueohaser: ‘ ‘‘Didn’t 
you guarantee that this parrot would 
repeat every word he heard?” Bird 
Dealer: “Certainly I did.” “But he don’t 
repeat a single word.” “He repeats 
every word he hears, but he never hears 
any. He is as deaf as a post.”—Tit-Bits.

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 flowers 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-flve 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.
