HUMOROUS 
There was an old man with a beard, 
Who said: “It is Just as I feared; 
Two owls and a hen, 
Four larks and a wren, 
Have all built their nests in my beard.” 
—Edward Lear. 
“Your son is an actor, you say, Mr 
Magginis?” "Faith, he is.” “And what 
roles does he play?” “iRolls, is it? 
Faith, he rolls up the curtain.”—Tit- 
Bits. 
Grandad: “What makes you look so 
unhappy, Willie?” Willie: " ’Cause 
nobody ever calls me good unless I’m 
doing something 'I don’t want to do.”— 
Catholic News. 
Farmer Hayrick: “What’s that 
noise?” Mrs. H.: “It’s Jane cultivating 
her voice.” Farmer Hayrick: “Cultivat¬ 
ing, eh? If I’m any judge, that’s harrow 
ing.”—Illustrated Bits. 
“The doctor says my wife will never 
be any better as long as she lives In a 
little tucked-up Harlem flat.” “Is It so 
bad as that?” “Yes, it is. He says 
there isn’t room for improvement.”— 
Philadelphia Bulletin. 
“Cook, my husband complains that 
the coffee was cold, the meat overdone, 
the biscuits burned, and the oatmeal 
soggy.” “Yez hev me sympat’y, mum. 
It must be awful to live wit’ such a 
man.”—Credit Lost. 
“He may mean well,” said the young 
doctor, “but I don’t exactly like the tone 
of his letter.” “What’s the matter?” in 
quired the old practitioner. “Jones, the 
undertaker, writes and says that if I 
will send my patients to him he will 
guarantee them satisfaction.”—Judge. 
“That’s right!” exclaimed old Mr. 
Bull, approvingly, after reading of the 
proposed legislation against anarchists. 
“It is a good thing to keep anarchy out 
of this country altogether.’ “The idea!” 
cried old Mrs. Bull; “why, they ain’t 
nothin’ better 10 rub on bruis'es and 
burns.”—Philadelphia Press.

SHORT CUT TO SUCCESS- 
Nearly every man likes to have a nice clean garden that will grow successful 
crops, but he does not like the back-breaking work-necessary to success in the old 
way. This '‘Planet Jr.” No. 4 Combined Seeder and Wheel Hoe does all the 
work; opens the drills, sows, covers, rolls and marks the next row at one opera¬ 
tion; drills and drops garden seeds regularly, producing even growth; cultivates 
vegetables between the rows,or each side of the rowy throws dirt to and from the 
row,hills up, plows, and levels. The change from one tool to the other is 
made easily and quickly. We can’t tell you here of all the good things it will do for 
your garden, but we want you to send for one of our new catalogues for 1902. It is 
complete; tells about the full “Planet Jr.’’ line, Horse Hoes, Wheel Hoes, Seed Drills, Cultivators, 
Harrows, Sugar Beet Tools, etc. Won’t you send for it?
