THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
November 15, 1902 
HUMOROUS 
He boiled the water that he drank, 
By rule he slept and ate. 
He wore hygienic underclothes 
To get the bulge on fate. 
Thus science served him faithfully 
And made him microbe proof, 
But yesterday he met defeat 
By falling from a roof. 
—Chicago Record-Herald. 
“I am going up in the Adirondacks 
shooting with a party of automobilists.” 
“Well, shoot all you can.”—Life. 
Grandpa: “Willie, why do you study 
grammar?” Willie: “So I can laugh 
when people make mistakes.”—Detroit 
Free Press. 
“What kind of a stove did the pre¬ 
historic man use?” asked little Ostend. 
“Probably he used a mountain range.” 
—Philadelphia Record. 
“And what became of the splendid, 
fearless man who put down that politi¬ 
cal boss you had here a year or two 
ago?” “Oh, he’s our political boss now.” 
—Chicago Record-Herald. 
“You bear it like a little man,” said 
the dentist, after he had pulled the 
tooth. “Huh!” exclaimed Tommy, “I’m 
a heap grittier than that. I bear it like 
a little woman.”—Chicago Tribune. 
“My fingers seem to be all thumbs to¬ 
day,” apologetically remarked the clum¬ 
sy butcher. “Ah!” said the customer, 
significantly, “that accounts for them 
getting in the weigh.”—Philadelphia 
Record. 
These Americanos,” cries the affright¬ 
ed Tagal, “are cannibals.” “What ever 
gave you such an idea?” asks the Moro. 
“I just heard one of those soldiers ask 
that pretty school teacher to come and 
eat a Filipino with him!”—What to 
Eat.

Dear Sirs:—I have just fed "International Stock Food” to a car load 
of shoats and they made an average gain of three pounds every day. 
"International Stock Food” beats all kinds that I have ever tried and I 
have fed several kinds. Hogs all around me were dying with Hog 
Cholera and I never lost a hog. After they commenced eating “Inter¬ 
national Stock Food” you could fill a bucket with worms that had passed 
from them. I think that my car load has made a wonderful gain by 
using your Food. j Yours truly, J. W. SHERRILL-
