THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
HUMOROUS 
Oft through the stillness of the Summer 
night 
We see the Brick-Bat take his rapid flight. 
And, with unerring aim, descending 
straight, 
He meets a cat on the back-garden gate. 
The little Brick-Bat could not fly alone— 
Oh, no. there is a power behind the 
thrown. —Cosmopolitan. 
Bragge: “I was knocked senseless by 
a cricket ball two years ago.” The Boy 
in the Corner: “When does yer expeck 
ter get over it?”—Tit-Bits. 
“A deaf-mute has a big advantage 
over an ordinary man.” “What is 
that?” “He has all his information at 
his fingers’ ends.”—Indianapolis News. 
McJigger: “The robin is a very timid 
bird, isn’t it?” Thingumbob: “I guess 
so. At any rate the average restaurant 
cook can make it quail.”—Philadelphia 
Press. 
“I can safely say that no man ever 
attempted to bribe me, gentlemen.” 
Voice in the Crowd: “Don’t be down¬ 
hearted, old chap; your luck may 
change.”-—Tit-Bits. 
Small Boy: “Please, Grandad, Effle 
and I want to make a coronation illu¬ 
mination. Daddy says we mustn’t burn 
the packing-cases, so will you please let 
us have your wooden leg?”—Punch. 
Mother (who has been out for the 
day): “Tommy, did you take that medi¬ 
cine that I told you to, when I was 
away?” Tommy: “No, ma. Willie 
Jones came in, and he liked it, :o I ex¬ 
changed it with him for a sour apple.” 
—The King. 
Superintendent: “It is our usual 
custom to let a prisoner work at the 
same trade in here as he did outside. 
Now, what is your trade? Shoemaker, 
blacksmith or-” Prisoner: “Please, 
sir, I was a traveling salesman.”—In¬ 
dianapolis Journal. 
“If people are so crazy for outdoor 
exercise I don’t see why they don’t get 
up garden-hoeing parties and such 
things.” “Wouldn’t do at all. The dif¬ 
ference between exercise and work is 
that exercise accomplishes nothing.”— 
Chicago Evening Post. 
"Does your son intend to work his 
way through college?” asked the Sum¬ 
mer boarder of the farmer. “Yes, I 
reckon he do,” replied the farmer; “he’s 
goin’ to take one o’ them eddication- 
teached-by-mail things, an’ he kin keep 
right on workin’ th’ farm fer me!”—

The Universal Bean Harvester, 
The profit derived from the growing 
of beans depends largely upon quick 
ar.d efficient methods of harvesting 
them. When beans are ripe, just right, 
and the weather favorable. Harvesting 
should be done in a hurry. The quality— 
tlie bright and salable condition of the 
beans, depends upon that. All hand 
labor should be displaced with im¬ 
proved machinery. 
This Machine 
Harvests Beans 
in the most rapid and approved 
manner. The tempered steel 
blades cut off the stems of two 
rmvs of beans at one passage 
and the steel rod cleaners sepa¬ 
rate all dirt, etc., and deliver 
the two rows of beans into one 
long continuous windrow. 
The Harvester is made of best — _ —7 . „ . , , . . , . ,* v ,_
