HUMOROUS 
I II stand most anything, hut there’s 
One man I never liked, doggone him I 
lie is the man who sits near me 
And eats his soup with whiskers on him! 
—What to Kat. 
Old Gentleman: “Waiter, this meat 
is like leather!” “Yes, sir. Saddle of 
mutton, sir!”—Punch. 
“It’s wonderful, isn’t it, that they can 
make policemen’s clubs out of paper?” 
“Rapping paper, of course.”—Cleveland 
Plain Dealer. 
“How can you tell, papa, when people 
are way up in society?” “When their 
diamonds are genuine and their man¬ 
ners are not.”—Life. 
“Tehenoe, what is the doctor’s diag¬ 
nosis of your case!” “He hasn’ told me 
jit, but I’m bettin’ it’ll be iv’ry cint av 
tin dollars.”—Chicago Tribune. 
“Has your husband provided a mauso¬ 
leum for you?” asked Mrs. Oldcastle. 
“Oh, my, no! Josiah was bound to have 
hard wood floors all through the house.” 
—Chicago Record-Herald. 
“Ake you a second-hand book dealer?” 
asked the inquisitive person. “No, sir,” 
answered the other pei’son, w'ith some 
irritation of manner. “I am a dealer in 
second-hand books.”—Chicago Tribune. 
Dollie: “Oh, Granny, do the heathen 
savages wear trousers?” Granny: “No, 
dear. Why?” Dollie: “Well, then, why 
did pa put a trousers button in the col¬ 
lecting bag at church to-day?”—Pick- 
Me-Up. 
“And now, ” w'hispered the lover, as 
he caught her in his arms, “what shall 
we do about the rope 1 adder? We 
shouldn’t leave it hanging there.” 
“Don’t worry about it,” replied the 
damsel. “Papa said he would pull it 
up again, so we couldn’t get back.”— 
Philadelphia Press. 
“I wisiiT 1 knowed whether there was 
any sequel to that prodigal son story,” 
said Farmer Corntossel as he looked 
through the open door at the young 
man who was swinging in a hammock, 
smoking a cigarette.” “What do you 
mean?" asked his wife. “I’d kind o’ 
like to know whether the original prod¬ 
igal son settled down an’ went to work 
steady, or whether he got into the habit 
o’ makin’ them trips once or twice a 
year.”—Washington Star.

1903 Shredder Blades 
(Patent Applied for) 
make efficient shredders out of “Ohio” Feed and Ensilage 
Cutters. The New Shredder Blade is the regular “Ohio” 
knife with solid integrally projecting bits which cut and 
tear corn stalks into a nicely shredded condition, as shown 
in the picture. It makes corn-hay of the fodder. 
Shredder Bla-des are interchangeable with knives on all 
sizes “Ohio” Cutters. They successfully reduce fodder to 
the proper condition and do not pulverize the leaves like 
other styles. They shred with the same power, speed and 
capacity as “Ohio” Cutters, and either the Chain or Blower 
Elevators handle the shreaded corn perfectly. Speed, 600 
to 700 revolutions. Power, 2 Horse Tread up to 12 h. p.

Make Yoar Money 
Make Money for You 
Land purchased now in Nebraska, the North Platte Valley or the 
Big Horn Basin will cost from ten to fifty per cent more than a year 
ago, but it will cost more next year than now. 
Dollars intelligently invested there to-day in farms or ranches 
will probably bring forth tens of dollars in a few years, just as the 
dollars invested not long ago are bringing similar returns to-day. 
Now is the time to make your money make money for you.
