THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
October 31, 1903 
HUMOROUS 
There was a fair maid named Pomona— 
The first time she ate of bologna 
She said: ‘‘It is queer. 
Tint 1 really fear 
You must help me remove its kimona.” 
—Chicago Tribune. 
Teaoiittr: "Johnny, you may define 
the first person.” Johnny: "Adam.”— 
Town and Country. 
Stranger: "How many inhabitants 
in this town?” Native: “The popula¬ 
tion of this yere city is 27 souls an’ a 
editor.”—New York Journal. 
She: "Oh? just look at the lovely ap¬ 
ples those boys are getting. Do you sup¬ 
pose they grow wild?” He: “No, but 
I fancy the owner does.”—Brooklyn 
Life. 
Pijofe'Ssor: "Suppose you were en¬ 
gaged in the autopsy of a subject and it 
gave signs of life, what would you do?” 
Student: "I think I should—change the 
subject, sir.”—Town and Country. 
Magistrate: “Did I understand you 
to say the prisoner offered resistance 
when you placed him under arrest?” 
Policeman: None worth mentioning, 
your Honor, only a couple of dollars.”— 
Chicago News. 
Visitor: "You haven’t got half as 
nice a cemetery here as we have in Elm- 
ville.” Prominent Citizen (of Haw- 
ville): “No, I’ve always heard that the 
cemetery is the only part of your town 
that holds out any inducements for per¬ 
manent residents.”—Chicago Tribune. 
“Gittin’ subscriptions fer a fence 
round the graveyard, eh? Ain’t none o’ 
the bodies tryin’ to git out, I hope?” 
“Oh, no, but-” “Wa-al, as long 's 
nobody’s tryin’ ter git out—an’ I don’t 
hear of anybody round these parts thet’s 
mighty anxious ter git in—I ain’t 
squanderin’ good money ’fer fancy da¬ 
does round no buryin’ ground.”—Judge. 
A CERTAIN hotel proprietor chanced to 
glance out of a rear window and saw 
A is new waiter chasing a chicken about 
the yard. “What have you in that 
bowl?” demanded the hotel man. 
“Mushrooms,” responded the new waiter. 
"Der’s a gentleman dat wants chicken 
smothered wid mushrooms en Ah’m 
tryin’ to smother him, sah.”—Chicago 
Daily News. 
"Ma;mma, didn’t you say last week 
that you wanted the carving knife and 
the chopper sharpened?” Mrs. Suburb: 
"Indeed I did. Bless his little heart! 
How thoughtful you are! They are both 
so blunt as to be useless.” "Well. I’ll 
take ’em round to the cutler’s for you.” 
“How sweet of you to offer to do such 
things for your mamma, my little 
cherub! I’ll wrap them up.” "No, don’t 
wrap them up. I want them to show. 
There is a bo 3 '^ out there waiting to lick 
me, but I fancy when he sees me coming 
he’ll go home.”—Tit-Bits.
