THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
November 10, 1900 
Humorous. 
Josiah Jones 
A humble man, 
Sent a $5 bill 
For a "get-rich plan," 
He got it—and— 
Well—anyhow— 
Josiah Jones 
Still follows the plow. 
—Mail Order Journal. 
Reporter: "What should I do with 
this long article about the milk trust?' 1 
Editor: “Condense it.”—Chicago News. 
Hix: “Do you consider it wrong to 
cheat a lawyer?” Dix: “Well, it may 
not be wrong, but it’s impossible.”—Chi¬ 
cago News. 
Visitor: “How much the baby re¬ 
sembles its mamma!” Father: “Yes; it 
talked when it was only six months old.” 
—Illustrated Bits. 
“What are you going to call your 
new office building?” “I think I’ll call 
it the ‘Serial’ on account of its contin¬ 
ued stories.”—Philadelphia Record. 
Mr. Wudby: “You and I get along 
famously, Dolly. I’m not very hard to 
please, am I?” Dolly: “No; I heard 
sister say you were very soft.”—Harlem 
Life. 
“What,” says an inquisitive young 
lady, “is the most popular color for a 
bride?” We may be a little particular 
in these matters, but we should prefer a 
white one.—Tit-Bits. 
She (during the tiff): “Man was made 
of dust, you will remember, but woman 
wasn’t.” He: “That’s right. If you 
were made of dust you’d dry up once in 
a while.”—Philadelphia Record. 
Processor (to student of surgery): 
“Please inform the class the names of 
bones forming the skull.” Student: “Ah 
—er—I do not at the present time re¬ 
member, but I know that I have them 
all in my head.”—Credit Lost. 
Mrs. Young wife: “I want to get 
some salad.” Dealer: “Yes, ma’am. How 
many heads?” Mrs. Youngwife: “O 
goodness ! I thought you took the heads 
off. I just want plain chicken salad.”- 
Catholic Standard and Times. 
“I must admit,” said the mannish girl, 
“that I’m very fond of men’s clothes. 
You don’t like them—do you?” “Yes, I 
do,” replied the girly girl, frankly, 
“when there’s a man in them.”—Tit- 
Bits. 
“It is rumored that the pure food 
cranks are after the Chicago packers,” 
said the first Texas steer, “to have them 
put their beef up in glass instead of tins, 
hereafter.” “Well?” remarked the sec¬ 
ond steer, indifferently. “Well, wouldn’t 
that jar you?”—Catholic Standard and 
Times.
