THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
September 17, 1898 
Humorous. 
If you are looking for a cheap suit, 
don’t go fo law.— Farm Journal. 
Scene : Two small boys preparing to 
attack a very stout man. Micky : “ Hit 
him on the solar plexus, Chimmie. You 
can’t miss it.”— Life. 
Josh Billings remarked that “ there 
is a great deal of human natur in a 
krab; if yu don’t pick him up in the 
right way yu will diskover it.” 
Higgins: “Well, I only married you 
for your money, anyhow.” Mrs. Hig¬ 
gins : “ I wish I could tell as easily what 
1 married you for.”— N. Y. Times. 
“Did your son get home safe from 
Cuba?” asked the neighbor. “He did 
better than that,” was the answer ; “ he 
got home safe from camp.”— Washington 
Star. 
The Elder : “ You do not pay enough 
attention to your business. You know 
the proverb says a man must put his 
hand to the plow.” The Younger: “ But 
that might mean a hired hand.”— Indian¬ 
apolis Journal. 
“ We don’t have no luck at our house 
like they have over to Jimmy Smithers’.” 
“Why, what kind of luck do the Smithers 
have?” “Jimmy Smithers’ father has 
dyspepsia, an’ there's always a piece of 
pie left over an’ Jimmy gits it!”— Cleve¬ 
land Plain Dealer. 
“ So you don’t want breakfast badly 
enough to take off your coat and pull a 
few weeds out of the garden !” she re¬ 
marked scornfully. “ Madam,” said 
Meandering Mike, deprecatingly, “ luck 
has been agin me. But I’m still too 
much of a gent to takeoff me coat in the 
presence of a lady.”— Washington Star. 
First Young Lady (indignantly): “Lit¬ 
tle boy, don’t you know it is wrong for 
you to steal those dear little bluebird's 
eggs ? Don’t you know that each of 
those dear little eggs would be a dear 
little bluebird?” Second Young Lady 
(more indignantly): “Yes! And don’t 
you know that stuffed bluebirds are 25 
cents apiece now, and getting scarcer 
and scarcer every year, you miserable 
little wretch !”•— Puck.
