THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
May 4, 19oi 
Humorous. 
Johnny, in his restless roving, 
Found a pot of liquid glue; 
John, the maple syrup loving. 
Thought the glue was syrup, too. 
J, no longer now is roving- 
lie is stuck upon the glue. —Life. 
Timid Lady: “Are people ever lost in 
this river?” Boatman: “No, ma’am, we 
always find them in a day or two.”— 
Fun. 
.Judge: “When did your domestic 
troubles begin? ' The Plaintiff: “On the 
day I was married, your Honor.”—Chi¬ 
cago News. 
“You ought to rise with the lark.” 
“Well, if I had to perch all night on a 
cold twig, I suppose I’d be glad to.”— 
Chicago Record-Herald. 
“Mr. Gnouon went to a masquerade 
the other evening disguised as a bear.” 
“Did anyone recognize him?” “Only his 
wife.”—Philadelphia Record. 
“I SEE that a home for honest indi¬ 
gent lawyers is to be established in Wis¬ 
consin.” “Well, that’s the kind of law¬ 
yers that become indigent.”—Puck.

Sent on Trial. Test it in your own field. If it does the work, pay for it. If it fails, 
reject it. We want a good live, hustling man in each township in potato section to take 
orders. One who has a good team and can and will spend time enough between now and 
digging time to call on every farmer in the township who grows five acres or more. 
We Pay Liberal Cash Commission.

“Is every hair in your head numbered, 
grandpa?” “Yes, my child.” “Well, 
grandpa,” said the little fellow, as he 
contemplated the great bald spot, “you 
haveVi’t got much of a head for figures.” 
—Yonkers Statesman. 
Mistress: “Nora, you have made a 
terrible mistake. You have mistaken 
the quinine for baking powder and filled 
our flannel cakes with medicine.” Nora: 
“Faith, mum, they must be medicated 
flannels.”—Chicago News. 
First Farmer Man: “They say a fel¬ 
ler took a prize at the Chicago Fat Stock 
Show because he never cussed his cows.” 
Second Farmer Man: “Don’t you believe 
it. If them cows could talk he’d never 
have got it.”—Washington Post. 
“I mistrust the motives of that west¬ 
ern milkman who put on rubbers.” 
“Why so?” “He simply seems to have 
been making an effort to keep the water 
out of his own system. Why didn’t he 
put rubbers on his cows?”—Cleveland 
Plain Dealer. 
“My case is peculiar,” remarked the 
letter B.” “How so?” chorused the oth¬ 
er letters of the alphabet. “Well, when 
it comes to making ‘boodle’ I always 
lead, and, you will notice, there is abso¬ 
lutely no reason why I should be in 
‘debt.’ ”—Philadelphia Press. 
“This dollar that I hold in my hand,” 
he said, “reminds me of a deep, dark, 
scandalous secret.” “Oh, George!” his 
wife exclaimed dropping her hands in 
her lap, and bending forward eagerly, 
“tell me about it.” “Yes,” he went on, 
“it reminds me of a secret of that kind, 
because it’s so hard to keep.”—Chicago 
Times-Herald.
