THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
December 3, 1904.- 
HUMOROUS 
Mary had an autocart, 
She ran it through the briars, 
And after that, ere it would go, 
She had to pump the tires. 
She pumped them up too tight one day, 
’Twas more than they could stand; 
They burst and blew poor Mary to 
A better, happier land. 
“What made the tires blow Mary so?” 
The eager people cried. 
Why, Mary blew the tires, you know,” 
The busted auto sighed. 
Credit Lost. 
Instructor (at night school) : “What 
are the chief curses of American civiliza¬ 
tion?” Shaggy-Haired Pupil: 'Bout the 
same as the English, only we use 'em 
more freely in our common talk than 
they do. You don’t expect me to blurt 
’em out, do you?”—Chicago Tribune. 
“Does your coachman have any per¬ 
quisites?" asked Mrs. Oldcastle. "He had 
one once,” replied her hostess, “but the 
doctor said it was brought on by bein’ 
out too long in the hot sun. My! I don’t 
know what I’d do with a person around 
me that had them regular.”—Chicago 
Record-Herald.

sizes “Ohio” Cutters. They successfully reduce fodder to 
the proper condition and do not pulverize the leaves like 
other styles. They shred with the same power, speed and

to 700 revolutions. Power, 2 Horse Tread up to 12 h. p.
