THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
HUMOROUS 
There once was an ichthyosaurus, 
Who lived when the earth was all porous; 
But he fainted with shame 
When he first heard his name, 
And departed a great while before us. 
—Credit I.ost. 
“Don't you think Miss Lingerlong’s 
face looks rather worn?'’ “Well, she has 
been wearing it since 1S6S.” —Credit Lost. 
Justice: “Do you understand the na¬ 
ture of an oath, little girl?” Little Girl: 
“It’s something you say when you hit 
your head against the mantel.”—Boston 
Transcript. 
“Your yard is pretty full of dogs,” said 
the caller. “Are they all yours?” “No,” 
replied the man of the house, flushing 
with resentment. “I’m not so durned 
poor as that.”—Chicago Tribune. 
“Your trouble, madam,” said the physi¬ 
cian, “seems to be an excess of adipose 
tissue.” “My goodness!” exclaimed Mrs. 
Plumpton, “I wonder if that isn’t what 
makes me so awfully fat?”—Chicago 
News. 
Rooster: “Don’t you know you’re sit¬ 
ting on a litter of glass eggs?” Hen: 
Sh! Don’t mention it! As long as the 
hired man takes me for a fool he'll bring 
me my meals, and I won’t have to grub 
for a living.”—Detroit Free Press. 
Tommy: “I can so count up to five on 
my fingers, can't I, ma?” Ma: “Yes, Tom¬ 
my, but don't brag. I saw a little boy 
no older than you to-day who could count 
up to fifty.” Tommy: “Gee whiz! Where 
did he get all them fingers?”—Philadelphia 
Press.

WOODPECKER 
What kind of people are trying our 
3 Vi HORSE POWER 
" WOODPECKER ” 
GASOLINE ENGINES 
on our 
30 Days Free Trial Plan? 
They are mainly people who can’t 
afford to throw money away. They are 
farmers, blacksmiths, dairymen, small 
manufacturers, to whom a dollar looks 
just as big as it does to anyone. They 
are investigating our 30 days free trial 
and they are sending us their orders, 
knowing that we stand back of our en¬ 
gine, and if they find after 30 days, that 
it is not profitable for them to own one 
of our engines, we are ready to take it 
back without any quibbling or fussing. 
Our big business was not built In a day and 
we had to be absolutely sure what kind of satis¬ 
faction the •‘WOODPECKER” engine would 
give in the hands of the user before we could 
make our offer broadcast to all kinds of trade, 
rich and poor. 
Pretty nearly any kind of gasoline engine is 
better than none at all, and pretty nearly every 
manufacturer says his engine is the best and 
the simplest. Wedon’ttalk that way. We simply 
ask you to put the “WOODPECKER” at work 
on your own place and under your own condi¬ 
tions, and if it does not convince you that it is a 
paying investment, ship it back. You see the 
“WOODPECKER” has to talk for itself. 
Just a postal card will bring you the whole 
Story of the “WOODPECKER” if you address
