THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Aiijrust 24, 1901 
Humorous. 
The herd is heard to low on high, 
Moujiting the mountain steep; 
The weary shepherds hie below 
To get a bit of sleep. 
The little swallows gulp and choke 
The early worm to swallow, 
While penned within the barnyard pen 
The pensive piggies wallow. 
—Harvard l.iampoon. 
“Why does Harkins always speak of 
his automobile as ‘she?’ ” “Because it 
blows him up so often.’’—Chicago Rec¬ 
ord-Herald. 
“Pa, what is a philosopher?’’ “A 
philosopher, Jimmie, is a man who 
thinks he has got through being a fool.’’ 
—Detroit Free Press. . 
Tkacheh; “If four boys have 20 
peaches and 30 apples what will each 
have?” Bright Boy: “Chol’rer mor¬ 
bus!”—Philadelphia Press. 
Pedestkian: “Will this road take me 
out into the country, little boy?” Little 
Boy: “I don’t think it will; but if y’ 
wait mebby a waggun ’ll cum along.”— 
Columbus State Journal. 
“ExPEJiiENCE,” said Uncle Eben, “is 
a ve’y pow’ful teacher, but you wants to 
look out fo’ her. It doesn’t do de sailor 
no good to know whah de rock is aftuh 
he has done run into it.”—Washington 
Star. 
'Sue: “1 suppose you never met your 
ailinity, Mr. Olebatch?” He: “I don’t 
know. One can’t tell one’s affinity ex¬ 
cept by marrying, and then it may turn 
out to be a case of mistaken identity.”— 
Puck. 
“What would you do if you had a 
million dollars?” said one plain, every¬ 
day man. “Oh,” replied the other, “I 
stippose I’d put in most of my time com¬ 
paring myself with some one who had 
a billion and feeling discontented.”— 
Washington Star. 
'J'liE Bo.ss: “If we are to retain your 
services, Mr. Lambkin, you must take 
more care of your appearance. You look 
as if you hadn’t shaved for a week.” 
The Clerk: “But, sir, I am growing a 
beard.” “That’s no excuse. You must 
do that sort of thing out of business 
hours.”—Glasgow Times. 
Mk. Shaiu’e: “Whatever Vice-Presi¬ 
dent Roosevelt may have to suffer in his 
office, he is spared a torture that he un¬ 
derwent during the campaign.” Mrs. 
Sharpe: “Torture! Isn't that a pretty 
strong word?” Mr. Sharpe: “Wouldn’t 
you think it torture to have your teeth 
drawn every day?”— Harper’s Bazar. 
An INDIANAI’OLIS woman called up 
her grocer by telephone the other morn¬ 
ing, and after she had sufficiently scold¬ 
ed the man who responded, she said: 
“And what’s more, the next order you 
get from me will be the last 111 ever 
give you.” “It probably will, madam,” 
said the voice at the other end of the 
wire, “you are talking to an under¬ 
taker.”—Indianapolis News.
