THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
April 5. 1902, 
HUMOROUS 
When women get into politics 
Re-forms will just be great, 
Two dollar notes will be marked down 
To 51.98, —The Capital. 
“Gobang’s wife is a deaf-mute but he 
says she is worth her weight in gold.” 
“Perhaps it is her silence that is gold¬ 
en.”— Judge. 
“Be a little careful with that picture,” 
warned the photographer. “Why so?” 
asked the assistant. “Because it is a 
member of the police department and 
won’t stand too much exposure.”—Chi¬ 
cago News. 
She: “I know some couples that 
quarreled a good deal at first but got 
along pretty well later on.” He: “Oh, 
yes! Some people take matrimony like 
rheumatism—they get so they don’t 
complain much.”—Puck. 
Citizen: “Madam, why do you per¬ 
sist in punching me with your um¬ 
brella?” Madam: “I want to make you 
look round, so I can thank you for giv¬ 
ing me your seat. Now, sir, don’t you 
go off and say that women haven’t any 
manners.”—Credit Ixist. 
“I can’t understand about this wire¬ 
less telegraphy,” said Mrs. Wunder. 
"Why, it’s plain as day,” said Mr. 
Wunder. “They just send the messages 
through the air instead of over wires.” 
“I know that,” said she, “but how do 
they fasten the air to the poles?”—Bal¬ 
timore American. 
“Why, Bridget,” said her mistress, 
who wished to rally her for the amuse¬ 
ment of her company upon the fantas¬ 
tic ornamenting of a huge pie, “why, 
Bridget, did you do this?” “Indade, it 
was meself that did it,” replied Bridget. 
"Isn’t it pretty, mum? I did it with yer 
false teeth, mum.”—Pearson’s Weekly. 
Mrs. Dcguid (President of the Society 
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani¬ 
mals): “My dear children, I love all ani¬ 
mals. I never under any circumstances 
hurt one. I even have a family of pet 
toads. I love them so that I catch flies 
to feed them. Small Boy: “Please, 
missus, ain’t flies animals?”—Town and 
Country.
