THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
November 3, 1900 
Humorous. 
“Why do you name your pacer China 
Egg?” “It can’t be beaten.”—Norris¬ 
town Herald. 
“They say my cousin is a wonderful 
doctor.” “You bet he is! I swallowed 
a nickel the other day and he made me 
cough up $2.”—Chicago Chronicle. 
When disappointment fills your cup, 
don’t be in haste to drink it up, just wait 
a bit, the truth I speak, all cups are 
prone to spring a leak.—Indianapolis 
Journal. 
The Lady of the House: “These 
vegetables look rather wilted.” The 
Grocer’s Boy: “Well, they ortn’t to; 
they been sprinkled ev’ry mornin’ this 
week.”—Indianapolis News. 
Doctor: “Well, I consider the medi¬ 
cal profession are badly treated. See 
how few monuments there are to famous 
doctors or surgeons!” The Patient: 
“Oh, doctor, look at our cemeteries!”— 
Gaiety. 
Lady: “borne weeks ago I bought a 
plaster here to help me get rid of rheu¬ 
matism.” Druggist: “Well, ma’am, I 
hope it did us work.” Lady: “Yes; but 
now I want something else to help me 
to get rid of the plaster.”—Boston Bea¬ 
con. 
The rooster looked at the hen with 
his head very much on one side. “And 
you say,” he said, “that you have al¬ 
ready raised four large families this sea¬ 
son? Really, I can’t account for it.” 
“It is easily accounted for,” said the hen, 
haughtily; “I belong to the smart set!” 
—Cleveland Plain Dealer. 
“Ugh!” exclaimed the ripening pump¬ 
kin, for no apparent reason. “What’s 
the matter with you?” asked the wav¬ 
ing corn. “I was just thinking,’ said 
the pumpkin, “if I should ever be turned 
into a Jack-o’-lantern I’d be sure to get 
a little light in my nead.”—Philadelphia 
Press. 
“My stars!” ejaculated a traveler, 
who had, while journeying through the 
Arkansas backwoods, stopped at a log 
cabin to get his dinner. “You should 
not let that child play with that loaded 
revolver; it is a terrible risk!” “Aw, I 
dunno,” replied the host nonchalantly. 
“I’ve got about fou’teen mo’ childern 
around the place somewhurs.”—Credit 
Lost. 
Mr. G. Ormandizer (struggling to 
carve the first turkey his wife has ever 
cooked: “Say, Mary, the bones in this 
bird are thicker than a shad’s—just hear 
the knife grit.” Mrs. G. Ormandizer 
(almost crying with anxiety): “You 
must be against the shells, John.” 
“Shells?” “Yes, John; don’t you re¬ 
member that you asked me to stuff the 
turkey with oysters?”—Brooklyn Life.

Farm Wagon Economy. 
The economy of this proposition is not all found 
in the very reasonable price of the wagon itself, 
but in the great amount of labor it will save, and 
its great durability. The Electric Wheel Com¬ 
pany, who make this Electric Handy Wagon and 
the now famous Electric Wheels, have solved the 
problem of a successful and durable low-down 
wagon at a reasonable price. 
□ This wagon is composed of the best material 
throughout—white hickory axles, steel wheels, 
steel hounds, etc. Guaranteed to carry 4,000 lbs. 
These Electric Steel Wheels are 
made to fit any wagon, and 
make practically a new wagon 
out of the old one. They can be 
had in any height desired, and 
any width of tire up to 8 inches. 
With an extra set of these wheels 
a farmer can interchange them 
with his regular wheels and have 
a high or low-down wagon at 
will. Write for catalogue of the 
full “Electric Line” to Electric 
Wheel Co., Box 88, Quincy, Ill.
