THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
June 28, 1902 
HUMOROUS 
There was a young giri from Racine 
Who planted a Boston baked bine; 
Said she, with a frown, 
“Baked beans are brown, 
But this one is coming up grlne.” 
—Chicago News. 
“See where they’ve formed a broom¬ 
stick trust.” “What for?” “To beat the 
carpet trust.”—Detroit Free Press. 
She: “He declares he loves the very 
ground I tread on.” He: “Ah! I 
thought he had his eyes on the estate.” 
—Harvard Lampoon. 
“Why, Willie,” said his teacher, 
“what makes your hair so red?” “Aw, 
I just had scarlet fever and it settled in 
me head.”—The Widow. 
Barber: “That man who just went 
out has a good head for business.” Cus¬ 
tomer: “That old, bald-headed gentle¬ 
man?” Barber: “Yes; I sell him three 
bottles of hair rcnewer a month.”—Tit- 
Bits. 
“But you must remember, dear, that 
you promised to ‘love, honor and obey’ 
your husband.” “It isn’t possible, Grand¬ 
ma. I defy any woman to love and 
honor a man who always insists on be¬ 
ing obeyed.”—Philadelphia Bulletin. 
“And aren’t you going to give your 
penny for the poor heathen?” asked the 
Sunday school teacher reprovingly. “Oh, 
I s’pose so,” replied little Bobbie, as he 
held it reluctantly, “if you think they 
need it wurs’n I do.”—Ohio State Jour¬ 
nal. 
Mrs. Youngbiude: “I’ve come to com¬ 
plain of that flour you sent me.” Grocer: 
“What was the matter with it?” Mrs. 
Youngbride: “It was tough. I made a 
pie with it and it was as much as my 
husband could do to cut it.”—Troy 
Times. 
“You seem rather hilarious to-day,” 
the lathe remarked to the buzz saw. 
“Yes,” remarked the buzz saw, “the man 
who runs me brought some whisky into 
the shop with him a little while ago.” 
“Well?” “Well, I took two or three 
fingers at his expense.”—Credit Lost. 
Doctor: “Nothing serious, I assure 
you. Your wife merely has a small ulcer 
on the end of her tongue.” Enpeck: 
“Say, Doctor, is that a fact?” Doctor: 
“Certainly, sir! I hope you don’t think 
I would misrepresent the case?” En¬ 
peck: “Oh, no; but your discovery that 
her tongue really had an end seems too 
good to be true.”—Chicago News. 
“How’s times?” asked the tourist. 
“Pretty tolerable, stranger,” responded 
the old man, who was sitting on a 
stump. “I had some trees to cut down, 
but the cyclone leveled them and saved 
me the trouble.” “That was good.” 
“Yes; and chen the lightning set fire to 
the brush pile and saved me the trouble 
of burning it.” “Remarkable! But 
what are you doing now?” “Waiting for 
an earthquake to come along and shake 
the potatoes out of the ground.”—Chi¬ 
cago News.

A Shipment from Ward's 
There must be considerable satisfaction to every 
man when he realizes that he has done some* 
thing wise and creditable, especially when it di¬ 
rectly concerns the welfare of himself and family. 
Here is a man who is hauling a shipment home, 
content with the knowledge that all his supplies 
for several months have been purchased at whole* 
sale prices, or in other words at a saving of about 
SO per cent over his home prices. 
He has no cause to worry as to what he will find inside 
the boxes. He has received shipments from us before and 
knows that everything will be found first*ciass and exactly 
as represented. Even if something is wrong, he knows that 
no firm in the country is more anxious to make it right than 
we are. We have customers everywhere — in every nook 
and corner of the United States. Beyond a doubt some of 
your neighbors deal with us. If you are not a heavy buyer, 
why not join with a neighbor and get your supplies by 
freight? It only takes too pounds to make a profitable 
freight shipment. 
You may need a catalogue to start with. Our 1,000 page 
catalogue containing over 70,000 quotations and 17,000 
illustrations will be sent on receipt of IS cents to partly pay 
the postage. This catalogue is already in the homes of 
over 2,000,000 careful buyers and should be in your 
home also. Send for it to*day.
