THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
October 10 
HUMOROUS 
Man born to toil, for Adam's crime, 
Selects the trade he likes. 
And, having learned it, spends his time 
In being out on strikes. 
—Chicago Record-Hei’ald. 
“Do you know anything about flirt¬ 
ing?’’ “No,” he replied sadly. “I 
thought I did, but when I tried it, hang¬ 
ed if the girl didn’t marry me.”—Chicago 
Post. 
Faik Paixtek: “I hope you don’t mind 
my sketching in your fleld?” Farmer: 
“Lor’, no, missie! You keep the birds 
off the peas better’n a ordinary scare¬ 
crow.”—Stray Stories. 
“Yoi;k husband,” said Mrs. Oldcastle, 
“seems to be so altruistic.” “Yes, I 
know it. But Josiah always was a great 
hand to overeat, and I think that must 
he what gives it to him.”—Chicago Rec¬ 
ord-Herald. 
Motheh: “Tommy, stop asking your 
father so many questions. Don’t you see 
it annoys him?” Tommy: “Why, moth¬ 
er, it’s not the questions that make him 
angry. It’s because he can’t answer 
them.”—Punch. 
“I oRDEUEi) this steak not well done,” 
said the impatient guest. “I know it,” 
answered the intellectual waiter. “But 
the cook is one of those people who be¬ 
lieve that no matter how small a thing 
is it should be well done.”—Washington 
Star. 
“That boy of mine,” said the country 
editor, “is a little wild, I admit, but he’s 
young yet. He needs a little seasoning 
-” “Seasonin’s what he’ll git,” inter¬ 
rupted Farmer Hardgrane, “ef he don’t 
keep outer my orchard. I’ll pepper him 
with rock salt.”—Philadelphia Press. 
“Now,” said the professor, “suppose 
you had been called to see a patient with 
hysterics—some one, for instance, who 
had started laughing and found it im¬ 
possible to stop—what is the first thing 
you would do?” “Amputaie his funny 
bone,” promptly replied the new stu¬ 
dent.—Houston Post. 
Mil. Nextdoou (to little Willie, who 
has been invited in to dinner): “What 
part of the chicken will you have, 
Willie?” Willie (earnestly): “Some of 
the white meat, part of the wing, a piece 
of the second joint, some stuffing, the 
gizzard and some gravy, please. Mam¬ 
ma made me promise not to ask to be 
served more than once.”—Judge.
