THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
April 21, 1900 
Humorous. 
Uncle Bob: “Well, Johnny, are you at 
the head of your class?” Johnny: “No, 
but I can lick the fellow that is!”—Hart¬ 
ford Courant. 
Hojack: “I understand that you 
skated into an airhole the other day.” 
Tomdik: “That’s what they called it, 
but I found it was full of water.”—De¬ 
troit Free Press. 
Judge: “Here, officer, this man says 
ne was arrested for merely taking cold. 
Is that correct?” Officer: ‘It is, your 
honor. He was stealing ice when I 
nabbed him.”—Chicago News. 
Growell (in cheap restaurant): 
“Here, waiter, are these mutton or pork 
chops?” Waiter: “Can’t you tell by the 
taste?” Growell: “No.” Waiter: “Then 
what difference does it make which they 
are?”—Chicago News. 
Mrs. Suburb. “No more milk? What’s 
the matter?” Gardener: “The cow ha» 
stopped givin’ milk, Mum.” “Goodness 
me! Why?” “Because she’s dry, Mum.” 
“Then why in the world don’t you give 
her a drink?”—N. Y. Weekly. 
“Under Debs’ socialistic government, 
Eliza, men won’t have to work but four 
or five hours a day.” “That won’t do at 
all, Henry. Lots of men can’t be kept 
out of mischief except by working 10 
hours a day.”—Indianapolis Journal. 
“Mary,” said the lady of the house, 
“you didn’t put any salt in this bread.” 
"But,” replied the new girl, “didn’t the 
master say yesterday he wouldn’t have 
nothing but fresh bread on his table, 
Mum?”—Philadelphia North American. 
“Mother says would you please loan 
her two or three of your flatirons?” 
“She won’t iron anything rough with 
them, will she, little boy?” “No‘m! 
She just wants to heat ’em and iron the 
ice off the front steps.”—Philadelphia 
Record. 
Judge (to prisoner): “You say you 
took the ham because you are out of 
work and your family is starving, and 
yet I understand that you have four 
dogs about the house?” Prisoner: “Yes, 
your honor; but I wouldn’t ask my 
family to eat dogs, your honor.”—Tit- 
Bits.
