THE RURAL NEW-YORKER; 
November 11, 1899 
Humorous. 
Never borrow trouble; 'tis a drug at which 
men scoff, 
And when you try to pay it back, you can¬ 
not work it off. 
—Chicago Record. 
Old Lady: “Dreadful! dreadful! My 
poor man, to what do you attribute your 
awful appetite for drink?” Tramp: “Ter 
thirst, lady.”—Philadelphia Record. 
Aunty (to Elsie, who has been out to 
look for eggs): “Have you found any, 
dear?” Elsie: “No, not one; the hens 
are all standing about doing nothing.”— 
Judy. 
Henderson: “Why did you put that 
nickel with a hole in it in the contribu¬ 
tion box?” Williamson: “Because I 
could not put the hole in without the 
nickel, and I had to put in something.”— 
Ohio State Journal. 
Mr. Brown: “Good morning, Mr. 
Jones; how’s your wife?” Mr. Jones 
(who was deaf, and thought a remark 
had been made about the weather): 
“Very blustering and disagreeable again 
this morning.”—Tit-Bits. 
Mrs. Youngwife: “I want to get some 
salad.” Dealer: “Yes, Ma’am. How 
many heads?” Mrs. Youngwife: “Oh. 
goodness! I thought you took the heads 
off. I just want plain chicken salad.”— 
Catholic Standard and Times. 
Mother: “Johnny, I see your little 
brother has the smaller apple. Did you 
give him his choice, as I suggested?” 
Johnny: “Yes’m. I told him he could 
have his choice, the little one or none, 
and he took the little one.”—Credit Lost. 
Her Hero: “What on earth are you 
trying to do?” His heroine: “I was 
reading about cooking by electricity, so 
I hung the chops on the electric bell, 
and I’ve been pushing the button for 
half an hour, but it doesn’t seem to 
work.”-—Answers. 
“Jones called up his first wife at the 
seance last night, and what do you 
think he said to her?” said Smith. 
“Goodness knows,” replied Brown. “He 
asked her if she would give his second 
wife her recipe for mincemeat.”—Pick- 
Me-Up. 
Little Willie: “Say, Pop! is it true 
what our teacher says ’bout everybody 
havin’ iron in their systems?” Willie’s 
Pop: “Yes, my boy, we have a large per¬ 
centage fin our constitutions.” “Well, 
then, the kind What prize fighters have 
is scrap iron, ain’t it? ’—Philadelphia 
Record. 
Mother: “What grieves you, Willie?” 
Willie: “I asked Pa if he could spell 
hippopotamus.” Mother: “And what 
did he do?:’ Willie (sobbing): “He 
thought hard a minnit an’ then got 
furious an’ said he’d spank me if I both¬ 
ered him again when he was readin’.”—
