THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
July 1, 1005. 
HUMOROUS 
There was a young lady of Niger 
Who went for a ride on a tiger. 
They returned from the ride 
With the lady inside, 
And a smile on the face of the tiger. 
—Credit Lost. 
A professor of natural history, who 
was delivering a lecture to his class 
on the rhinoceros, noticed that the atten¬ 
tion of the students was wandering. “Gen¬ 
tlemen,” he said, sternly, “if you expect 
to realize the remarkably hideous nature 
of this beast you must keep your eyes 
fixed on me.”—Harper’s Weekly. 
“You met your husband in Kansas, I 
believe?” “Well, you could hardly call 
it meeting him. You see, a cyclone came 
along, and when I recovered conscious¬ 
ness I was sitting on John back of what 
had once been a pumping station. Isn’t 
it strange how fate brings people together 
sometimes ?”—Chicago Record-Herald. 
An East Side kindergartner was about 
to give her class a lesson, with “The 
Kitten” as the subject. She began by 
saying: “Our lesson this morning will 
be all about the kitten. Now, can any 
little boy or girl tell me which grows on 
the kitten—fur or feathers?” A dead si¬ 
lence followed for a minute, when one 
little boy said in a loud voice: “G-o-o-d 
Lawd! Hain’t you never seen a kitten?” 
—Life. 
“Ah ! what delicious honey we had for 
luncheon to-day,” chirped the fluffy girl 
from the city, who was enjoying the hos¬ 
pitality of Farmer Summerboard’s brown 
old home. “I presume you have your own 
bee here on the farm?” “Yes, ma’am,” 
replied the horny-handed hired man, who 
was a pronounced pessimist during fifteen 
and one-half hours out of every twenty- 
four. “It’s in the old man’s hat. He 
wants to go to the legislature.”—Credit 
Lost. 
“I thought you had taken lessons in 
the art of jiu-jitsu?” “I have. I’m an 
expert at it.” “How does it happen, then, 
that you’re all battered up like this? You 
look as if you’d been in a railroad wreck. 
They say that a fellow knocked you down 
and walloped you as if you’d been a 
nine-year-old boy. Where did your jiu- 
jitsu come in?” “It would have been 
all right, and I could have given him a 
punch that would have made him as help¬ 
less as a child, but, confound the luck, 
he wouldn’t stand still till T could pick 
out the right spot.”—Chicago Record- 
Herald.
