THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
March 29, 1902 
HUMOROUS 
For defying the rainiest weather 
I've hit on a capital way. 
I eat salt mackerel for breakfast 
And that keeps me dry all day. 
—Philadelphia Press. 
“When your teacher wants to get a 
train of thought into your mind what 
does she do, Willie?” ‘‘Why, some¬ 
times she tries to switch it in.”—Yon¬ 
kers Statesman. 
Uncle Josh: “Then the Anti-Expan¬ 
sionists think the Constitution oughter 
foller the flag?” Uncle Hiram: “Yes; 
for the purpose of bringin’ the flag home 
an’ makin’ it stay there.”—Puck. 
Professor (lecturing): “Oxygen, gen¬ 
tlemen, is essential to all animal exist¬ 
ence. There could be no life without 
It. Strange to say, it was not discovered 
until a century ago, when-” Student: 
“What did they do before it was dis¬ 
covered, sir?”—Tit-Bits. 
Uncle Cyrus: “Say, this glass eye 
hain’t no good. I want my money back.” 
Optician: “No good?” Uncle Cyrus: 
“ 'Hain’t wuth a tinker’s darn. Can’t 
see a bit better with the blame thing 
than 1 kin without.”—Judge. 
“Din you say that hair-restorer is a 
good thing?” asked the patron. “Yes,” 
answered the barber with some slight 
hesitation; “it’s a good thing. We sell 
several bottles a week at a dollar a bot¬ 
tle.” “But how do you know it’s a good 
thing?” “Because the profit on every 
bottle is 75 cents.”—Washington Star. 
Willie swallowed a penny and his 
mother was in a state of much alarm. 
“Helen,” she called to her sister in the 
next room, “send for a doctor; Willie 
has swallowed a penny.” The terrified 
boy looked up imploringly. “No, mam¬ 
ma," he interposed, “send for the min¬ 
ister.” “The minister!” exclaimed the 
mother. “Yes, because papa says our 
minister can get money out of any- 
body.”—Pittsburg Bulletin.
