THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
October 28, 1899 
Humorous. 
The dairymaid pensively milked the goat, 
And, pouting, paused to mutter: 
“I wish, you brute, you’d turn to milk?” 
And the animal turned to butt her. 
—Answers. 
A young man doesn’t have to attend 
an agricultural school to sow wild oats. 
—Philadelphia Record. 
Farmer Meadowgrass: ‘‘I’ve been 
out sowing Timothy.” Summer Boarder: 
“Ah! Which of your boys is Timothy, 
and why don’t your wife do the sew¬ 
ing?”—Judge. 
Teacher: “Why don’t you answer the 
question, Fritz?” Fritz: “You yourself 
told us only the other day to remember 
that ‘speech is silver but silence is 
gold.’ ”—Heitere Welt. 
Showman: “Here, gentlemen, you see 
the giant boa-constrictor, who is in the 
habit of devouring a whole pig for 
breakfast—for goodness sake, sir, don’t 
go so near the creature.”—Judy. 
“This ‘Gates Ajar’ design is a hand¬ 
some one,” said the tombstone man. “It 
is just what I want,” said the widow. 
“He never shut a door in all our mar¬ 
ried life without being told.”—Indianap¬ 
olis Journal. 
“Is Alice worried about her broken 
engagement?” “No; she had some of 
his presents marked with the young 
man’s name, but she says she can easily 
get engaged to another man named 
Smith.”—Credit Lost. 
Teacher: “Willy, please give me a 
sentence in which the verbs ‘to set’ and 
’to sit’ are used correctly.” Willy, (after 
a brief deliberation): “The United 
States is a country on which the sun 
never sets, and on which no other coun¬ 
try ever sits.”—Puck. 
Matilda Higiibones: “Look heah, 
Mose, jus’ becase yo’ is a junk dealer, 
yo’ needn’ brung me home any ob dose 
secon’ ban’ co’sets. I couldn’ get dat 
pa’r ’round my wais’ anyway.” Mose: 
“Well, den, ’Tilda, yo’ jus’ put dem 
’round yo’ ankle, an’ keep yo’self frum 
interferin’.”—Life.
