THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
July 23 , 1898 
Humorous. 
“1 say, waiter, this salmon cutlet isn’t 
half so g-ood as the one I had here last 
week.” “ Can’t see why, sir. It's off 
the same fish.”— Pv/nch. 
Bacon : “ Are the flies had up your 
way ? ” Egbert: “ I think not. A great 
many of them seem to go to church Sun¬ 
days.”— Cleveland Plain Dealer. 
Aunty: “Do they teach by the object 
system at your school?” Little Doy: 
“ Yes’m. They is always objecting to 
something or other.”— Credit Lost. 
Sunday School Teacher: “What is 
the lesson we are to draw from this war 
with Spain ? ” Little Willy Wicklemeyer: 
“ They am’t no lesson in it fer us. We’re 
teachin’ Spain a lesson.” — Cleveland, 
Leader. 
“ Now, Percy, if you’re a really good 
boy I’ll take you to the circus.” There 
was a long pause, and then: “Mai” 
“Yes, Percy?” “ S'pose I'm the best 
boy I’ve ever been, will you leave me 
there ? ”— Life. 
Milkman : “ You must be a very im¬ 
moral man, sir, or you’d never kick 
about the milk I serve.” Customer: 
“ What’s that ? ” Milkman : “ Aren’t we 
taught that to the pure all things are 
pure ? ”— Puck. 
Auntie: “Johnnie, did you like the 
book 1 sent you on your birthday ? ” 
Johnnie: “ Ain’t read it yet.” Auntie : 
“ Why ?” Johnny, bitterly : “ ’Cause ma 
said I’d have to wash my hands when I 
read it.”— Credit Lost. 
Miss Chatter: “ I knew you would be 
here to-day to see sister.’’ Mr. Cudler 
(interrog.): “Intuition?” Miss Chatter: 
“ No, observation. You always appear 
on the same day that Ethel refuses 
onions at dinner.”— Tid-Bits. 
Magistrate (to witness): “I under¬ 
stand that you overheard the quarrel 
between the defendant and his wife ? ” 
Witness: “Yes, sir.” Magistrate: “Tell 
the Court, if you can, what he seemed 
to be doing.” Witness: “ lie was doing 
the listening.”— Tlt-Bit8. 
After she had studied the French bill 
of fare for a moment Mrs. Porkenham, 
of Chicago, turned to the waiter and 
asked : “ Doesoo understand Eenglese ? ” 
“ Oh, yes, I talk it almost like a native,” 
he replied; “ I was born and brought up 
in Indiana.” After that she had no 
appetite.— Cleveland Leader.

Tremendous 3 ales of Hallock’s “Success Gilt Edge” Potato Digger in the lsist year, 
ebow it is a marvel of economy, efficiency, and money-making. Does the work ten 
men would do with forks. It’s a money-maker to work with, to hire out, or to sell by 
taking an agency. Nothing ever offered to farmers ever had such a boom. Every 
one sold sells from one to a dozen others. Thousands of users testify: “1C* the Best 
Digger i»» the World.” Send for testimonials from those who have used it 
all over the world. It lias no rivals. All the old-style, high-priced Diggers are thrown 
in the junk pile when Ilallock’s “Success Gilt Edge” comes along. Write at once for 
descriptive matter, prices and full information. AGENTS WANTED. 
HALLOCK’S SUCCESS 
Gilt Edge Potato Harvester 
“I sold your digger to Mr. R. S. Post, and he used it last Friday and Saturday in very hard stony ground, and oa 
a side hill at that, and it did its work well. I saw it this morning myself, aud I must say that I can sell a good m*Of 
of them next season, and I would like to be sure of the agency for '98." Yours truly, 
Newark, N. Y. f October 18, 1897 w - H - H - »tebbi~s. 
“The digger arrived all right, although it was a long time on the way. I have given it a thorough trial, and tnis la 
4Jie result. It digs all the potatoes, leaves them ail in sight, and the ground in splendid shape. I just about saved the 
price of the digger this year in digging my aeveja 
acres of potatoes. I think there will be no trouble 
in selling them another year. For a starter three 
of my neighbors say they want one next year.' 
Yours truly, M. I>. Pickett. 
Okemos, Mich., November 13, 1897. 
“The season is now about over, and we are very 
much pleased with our success w ith your Gilt F.dge 
potato digger for this our first season with it. We have sold 28 
of them and they arc all giving excellent satisfaction. We have 
two lert, but have them hired out at 25 cents per acre. 
With one of these machines we have dug over 70 acres and 
not one cent for repairs." Yours truly, 
Prairie City, Iowa, Oct. 18, 1897. Prairie City Produce Co. 
“Inclosed find check to cover Rample digger shipped to me 
recently. I put the digger out for trial this A. M. It works 
entirely satisfactory, and I immediately wired you for five 
more. Trust you shipped them at once. Please send me 
contract covering two counties. I expect to have a -arge 
trade on your digger." Yours truly, Henry Walters. 
Shermsville, III., August 19. 1897. 
Mr. Walters had been handling a high priced digger for 
several years. Was very skeptical about the Gilt Kdirc. but 
the above shows the result of his giving it a trial. He sold 
during the season of '97, 33 diggers, every one of which 
gave entire satisfaction.
