THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
February 22, 1902 
HUMOROUS 
A fellow confined in the gaol 
Once turned most exceedingly paol. 
PWhat is it?” they cried, 
And the fellow replied, 
‘‘I thought I had swallowed a whaol.” 
—Baltimore American. 
Street Car Conductor: “'How old is 
that boy, madam?” Lady: “Why do 
you ask?” Conductor: “Because it’s a 
fare question.”—Chicago News. 
Little Johnnie: “Paw, crows go 
south fer th’ Winter, don’t they?” 
Parent: “Naw, they go south for th’ 
Summer; they kin git all th’ Winter 
they want up north.”—Ohio State Jour¬ 
nal. 
“Suppose, Bobbie, that another boy 
should strike your right cheek,’' asked 
the Sunday-school teacher, “what would 
you do?” “Give him the other cheek to 
strike,” said Bobbie. “That’s right,” 
said the teacher. “Yessum,” said Bob¬ 
bie, “and if he struck that I’d paralyze 
him.”—Tit-Bits. 
She had read a good deal, and prided 
herself on being pretty well up on the 
affairs of the day. “All disputes,” she 
said, “should be settled by arbitration.” 
“Quite right,” he replied. “Now, we 
had a little dispute this morning as tc 
certain household”— “There isn’t noth¬ 
ing to arbitrate in that,” she interposed 
hastily. “I am right, of course.” Then, 
alter a moment, she added: “But it 
seems so foolish to have wars and 
strikes when it’s so easy to arbitrate.” 
—Chicago Post.
