THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
October 4, 1902 
HUMOROUS 
A dog in the town of Cologne 
Absent-mindedly snapped at a bogne, 
But the misguided brute 
Had just grabbed his own foot. 
So the bone that he snapped was his ogne. 
—Philadelphia Press. 
Fred: “John’s wife helps him with his 
literary labors, doesn’t sne?” Frederica: 
“Oh, yes; she cashes his checks.”— 
Springfield Union. 
Hiram: “Has your son given up farm¬ 
ing?” Obadiah: “I guess so. He’s at¬ 
tendin’ one of them agricultural col¬ 
leges at the city.”—Harper’s Bazar. 
“On!” remarked Amy, with a sigh, 
“the men are not what they used to be.” 
“Indeed!” said Douglas. “And why not?” 
“Well, they used to be boys, you know.” 
And then he left.—Illustrated Bits. 
Little Clarence (with a rising in¬ 
flection): “Pa?” Mr. Callipers (weari¬ 
ly): “Uh?” Little Clarence: “Pa, what 
is a perch?” Mr. Callipers: “Something 
to come down from.”—Puck. 
It was at a fashionable boarding-house 
and they had calves’ brains for lunch. 
She spoke to the gentleman next to her: 
"And do you like calves’ brains, Mr. 
Domo?” “I always try to feel content 
with what I have, madam.”—Tit-Bits. 
. “And yet,” said the man who was al¬ 
ways trying to prove old sayings, “I 
can’t think of a single invariable in¬ 
stance in which ‘troubles never come 
singly.’ ” “You can’t, eh?” retorted the 
practical fellow. “Did you ever see any 
single twins?”—Baltimore News. 
Sunday School Teacher: “Why, 
Willie Wilson! Fighting again? Didn't 
last Sunday’s lesson teach you that when 
you are struck on one cheek you ought 
to turn the other to the striker?” Wil¬ 
lie: “Yes’m; but he hit me on the nose, 
an’ I’ve only got one.”—Washington 
Times. 
“And what is to be the subject of our 
lecture to-morrow night, Professor?” 
“Well, my dear young woman, I can 
hardly hope it will have much interest 
for you. I shall lecture on ‘Sun 
Spots.’ ” “Oh, but that’s of the great¬ 
est interest to me. I shall certainly 
come. You’ve no idea how I suffer from 
freckles.”—Stray Stories.

SPAVIN CURE 
NEVER IN THE HISTORY 
of achievements in scientific and physio'ogtcai 
chemistry has anithing been discovered capable of 
oioducing such wondertul results as “Save the 
Horse" Spavin Cure. 
In tnetaceot deep-seated prejudice and scepticism, 
at first considered an improbable and expensive ex¬ 
periment no preparation ever made so marvelous a 
euord ir such short time. 
The Fire iron Is uncertain at the best, and invari¬ 
ably only aggravates the disease or injury; Blister¬ 
ing is less effective than the fire Iron .and both 
necessitate ia>ing up the horse from four weeks to 
two months; arsenic, mercurial and poisonous com¬ 
pounds produce irreparable injury. 
"Save-the-Horse” eliminates all these factors. 
Horse can be worked continuously. 
It can be applied at any time, any where, any place 
and In all conditions and extremes of weather—hot 
or cold. And no matter what the age. condition or 
development of the case or previous failures in 
treating, the concentrated, penetrating, absorbing 
power of this remedy Is unfailing end no case can 
withstand the force of its action, whether a Bone or 
Bog Spavin, liingbone, Curb, Thoroughpln. Splint, 
Capped Hock, Weakand Sprained Tendons, 8 hoe Boil. 
Wind Puff or Lameness caused by Injury, 
It cures without scar blemish or loss of hair.
