HUMOROUS 
Now the pumpkin 
Sets aglow 
All our fancies, 
Don’t you know 
Now the pumpkin, 
Plump and big, 
Makes our fancies 
Dance a jig. 
Now the pumpkin 
Makes us sigh 
Till our fancies 
Roll in pie. 
—Judge. 
Mrs. Snow: “Carrie says she is only 
35. Do you suppose it is the truth?” 
Mrs. Frost: “It is founded on fact. She 
was born some time, you know.”—Credit 
Lost. 
“Let me see,” said tne minister, who 
was filling up a marriage certificate, and 
had forgotten the date, “this is the fifth, 
is it not?” “No, sir,” replied the bride, 
with indignation. “This is only my sec¬ 
ond.”—Credit Lost. 
Mr. O’Grady (reading paper): “Oi see 
here, Bridget, thot a mon fell 15 shtories 
down an elevator snaft.” Mrs. O’Grady: 
“Oh, the poor mon! Did he die?” Mr. 
O’Grady: “Naw! Oi guess he didn’t hov 
toime. The paper sez he wor kilt in- 
shtantly.”—Judge. 
“Would you like to trade your mule 
for this automobile?” asked the facetious 
tourist. “No, suh,” answered Erastus 
Pinkley. “Ef a mule gits contrary, you 
kin alius depen’ on him to move when 
he gits hungry. But when a automobile 
balks, de case is hopeless.”—Washington 
Star. 
Mbs. Goodsole: “Why, Johnny, are 
you just going home, now? Your moth¬ 
er’s been looking ior you all afternoon.” 
Johnny: “Yes’m, I know.” Mrs. Good- 
sole: “Just think how worried she must 
be.” Johnny: “Oh, she’s near the end 
o’ her worryin’. I’m just beginnin’ 
mine.”—Philadelphia Press. 
“Your constituents have arranged to 
give you a serenade.” “Well,” said the 
Member of Congress, who has grown Ir¬ 
ritable, “I suppose it’s the consistent and 
proper thing to do. My constituents al¬ 
ways seemed to derive a great deal of 
satisfaction from keeping me awake 
nights.”—Washington Star. 
“I hope your motto is ‘Down with the 
Trusts!’” said the earnest friend. 
“Well,” answered Senator Sorghum, 
“my motto with reference to trusts is 
something like that.” “There should be 
no temporizing. Down with ’em!” 
“Yes,” answered Mr. Sorghum soothing¬ 
ly; “cash down.”—Washington Star.

The Universal Bean Harvester. 
The profit derived from the growing 
of beans depends largely upon quick 
and efficient methods of harvesting 
them. When beans are ripe, justright, 
and the weather favorable, iiarvesting 
should be done in a hurry. The quality— 
the 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 
rows 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 llarve.tcr is made of best 
material throughout, well painted and varnished and will last indefinitely. Pole has a special shifting 
lever which enables the machine to work on hillsides ns well as on the level. A long evener and neck- 
yoke are furnished with each machine.. We Guarantee the Harvester in every respeet. Ask your local 
dealer for the Universal Bean Harvester. If not found there, write us direct and we will see that you 
are supplied. Write at once t or catalogue and prices, and be informed on the subject.
