THE RURAL NEW-YORKER

HUMOROUS 
"I may not be,” the smooth banana said, 
“The Fruit Forbid that brought in sor¬ 
row’s ban; 
Yet I confess that I have done my share 
Toward assisting In the fall of man.” 
—Philadelphia Times. 
“You must think I’m made of money,” 
complained Slopay to his tailor. “Well, 
I certainly realized that you’re not 
made of dust,” replied ^^ /ilor. “No?” 
“No, dust always sett ^^Credit Lost. 
Customer: “But < think 
a terrible price for a ’—.en?” Dealer: 
“Not suburban ch sir. Why, 
every one of these ^ was raised on 
flower seed that co ^cents per pack¬ 
age.”—Chicago Ne ^ o‘ 
“Johnny,” said o ^ mung man, who 
wanted to concilia, '’^.im, “if I should 
give you a penny what would you 
think?” “Humph! I’d think mos’ likely 
y’ wanted me t’ buy a automubble an’ 
break my neck.”—Denver Times. 
Mrs. Boerum;: “Willie, I hope you 
didnT disgrace me at the picnic to-day 
by asking for a second piece of pie.” 
Willie: “Nope! They gimme a second 
piece without my asking, and I only had 
to ask for a third!”—Brooklyn Eagle. 
Young Wife: “I received to-day a 
beautiful diploma from the cooking 
school—on parchment—and I’ve cele¬ 
brated by making you this dish. Now, 
just guess what it is!” Young Husband 
(chewing on his burnt omelet): “The 
diploma?”—Fliegende Blatter. 
“Those city folks seem to get lots of 
fun laughing at you when you get tog¬ 
ged up ready for church. Uncle Reuben.” 
“Wal, not half the fun I git hawhawing 
at them when they’re fixed in their red 
jackets to go and play golf in the pas¬ 
ture ’long o’ the cows.”—Credit Lost. 
“You should be thrifty and lay some¬ 
thing aside for a rainy day,” said the 
man who gives advice ad libitum. “Mis¬ 
ter,” said the Kansas farmer, “you talk 
like a blame theorist. What we people 
need to do is to lay something aside 
against a drought.”—Washington Star. 
“Some folks git stuck mighty easy,” 
remarked Parmer Clovertop, looking up 
from his copy of the Podunk County 
Clarion. “For all they think they’re so 
all-fired smart, the city folks is having 
artificial ice shoved off gn ’em. I’d like 
to see anybody fool me on ice.”—Phila¬ 
delphia Record.

It Stands tli€"Storms 
better than any wind mill ever invented. This is not only true because 
of the unusually well constructed and thoroughly trussed and braced 
angle steel tower, but because of the great strength of the mill itself. 
It has a way of adapting itself to severe shifting winds. 
The Sa-mson Wind Mill 
because of Its many points of superiority, sprung Into popular favor Immediately 
upon its introductfon,and is now the recognlzedleader among machinery of this 
class. The powerful Jlonble Gear with center line draft, long Interchangeable 
Boxes,freedom from all torsion and overhanging strain, make it the strongest 
in the world. Don’t bay until you investigate this milk Samson Art Catalog free.
