HUMOROUS 
Said the merry Typhoid Microbe to the 
Bubonic Germ, 
“Oh, I like this mode the womenfolk 
have started; 
On the pavement, moist and wretched, one 
need now no longer squirm. 
To a haven snug and cosy one gets 
carted. 
People often growl at fashion, but a fash¬ 
ion may do good. 
And the trailing skirt’s beneficent, I 
guess. 
Since it aids unlucky members of the old 
Bacillus Brood,” 
And the Bubonic Germlet said, “Why, 
yes!” —Rational Dress Gazette. 
Barber: “Your bair will be gray if it 
keeps on.” Scantylocks: “Well, I hope 
it will keep on.”—Baltimore World. 
“Is this weather good for hay?” asked 
the green boarder. “It orter be,” re¬ 
turned Parmer Skimpin. “It’s bin 
rainin’ pitchforks.”—Phila. Record. 
“Why should a woman take a man’s 
name when she marries him?” “Well, 
as long as she takes everything else she 
might as well take that, too.”—Philadel¬ 
phia Press. 
Clergyman (examining a Sunday 
school class): “Now, can any of you tell 
me what are sins of omission?” Small 
Scholar: “Please, sir, they’re sins you 
ought to have committed, and haven’t.” 
—Motherhood. 
“I AM glad,” said Willie’s mamma 
proudly, “to hear that my little boy, 
chose to apologize rather than to light.” 
“Sure,” replied Willie. “The other fel¬ 
low was a good bit bigger than me.”— 
Philadelphia Record. 
Teacher: “Now, Tommie, look at 
this. Is this the way to spell window— 
w-l-d-o-w?” Tommie: “No, sir.” “What 
is the difference between a window and 
a widow?” “Well, you can see through 
a window!”—Illustrated Bits. 
Northern Man (in Arkansas); “If 
yon are doing so poorly why don't you 
get more land?” Native: “It would be 
a right smart trick, wouldn’t it, for me 
to git more land when I’m jest about 
starvin' to death on 10 acres now?”— 
Leslie’s Weekly. 
“I SUPPOSE,” said the inquisitive tour¬ 
ist, "that the wealth of this country is 
in the soil.” “I reckon it is,” replied 
the poor farmer. “I don’t know nobody 
hereabouts-that ever got any out of it, 
so I reckon it’s still thar.”—Philadel¬ 
phia Press. 
“'This is a remarkably healthy cli¬ 
mate, they say,” said the Easterner. 
“You’re right thar,” said Arizona Al. 
“F’r instance, not long ago a tenderfoot 
with a weak chest an’ a pale face 
dropped inter the ‘Miners’ Delight,’ call¬ 
ed me a liar an’ o’ course I had to clean 
up. ’Bout two months after a big sun¬ 
burnt cowboy stopped me on the street, 
wiped the earth up with me an’ slammed 
me up in a tree to recuperate. Same 
feller. Best climate in the world, pard.” 
—Indianapolis Sun.

The Yeomans 
Fruit Farm 
For Sale 
To close the Estate of the late 
T. G YEOMANS, and because of the 
poor health of one of the survivors. 
A Rare Chance to Purchase one of the Choicest 
Fruit Plautatious of the State at a Very 
Low Price. It is beautifully located, in and sur¬ 
rounding the village of Wal-worth, Wayne Co., N. Y. 
Embraces 135 acres of mature apple orchards, 20 acres 
of pears, quinces, peaches and cherries, and 200 acres 
of choice farm lands, all in a high state of fertility. 
Orchards in perfect couditioii, and of most 
desirable market varieties. Apples are largely 
Baldwins. 
Cati be Divided if Desired. 
Prof. L. H. BAILEY says: “I have alwa-ps considered the 
Establishment of T. G. YEOMANS <fe S )NS, at Wulworth, N Y., 
to be one of the best general farm properties I have ever seen. 
It appeals to me as quite the Ideal gruit and Dairy Farm, and 
these t-wo things do not often go together.” 
A CHANCE in a THOUSAND for the RIGHT MAN. 
T. G. YEOMANS & SONS, WALWORTH, N. Y. 
No wind mill has ever met with such anqualitied 
endorsement or sprung so quickly in popular favor. 
The cause is not far to seek. It is due to superior mater¬ 
ial and construction and the introduction of an entirely 
new and improved system. The wonderful double 
gear, adding double strength, double power, etc. The 
long bearings with interchangeable boxes which may 
be easily replaced without removing any part of the mill. 
Even distributed load. No overhanging strain or tor¬ 
sion. Stands the severest storms without bending or 
buckling. These are but a few of the leading features 
of the Samson. This is the last appearance of the Sam- 
Fon advertisement for this season. Do not fail therefore to 
send at once for our free Kunison Art Catalogue and keep it 
for future reference.
