THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
Humorous. 
CONSIDER the caterpillar—he has to hump 
himself if he wishes to make any progress. 
—jElmira Qazctte. 
Horse Dealer : “ You had better buy 
the horse, Colonel. You will never find a 
healthier animal!” Col. Jones : “ I believe 
it. If he hadn’t been healthy all his life he 
never could have lived so long.”— Balti¬ 
more Sun. 
Mixed, but Idiomatic: “ Yes, I know,”, 
said Wooden, “ that young Getliereis doing 
very well, but he never will be able to fill 
his father’s shoes.” “ Well, why not f” 
asked Skimps. “ Why, because he hasn’t 
head enough .”—Boston Times. 
“ Mr. Seeds ” inquired the president of 
the agricultural fair, ‘* has the editor of 
* The Jayville Banner ’ published the 
notices you have sent him from time to 
time about our next exhibition ?” “ Yes, 
sir,” answered the secretary. “ Did he 
print that column and a half about the im¬ 
provements in the race track and the 
poultry pens ?” “ He did, and called atten¬ 
tion to it in a double leaded editorial.” 
“Then send him a complimentary ticket, 
not transferable, good for one person, and 
tell him to keep whooping up things lively.” 
—Chicago 'l'rlbune.
