THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
July, 28, 1906. 
HUMOROUS 
“Six hundred in the hospitals 
And twenty-seven dead !” 
The morning after last year’s Fourth, 
Is what the paper said. 
And as our motto’s “Progress!” 
IVe have little cause for fear 
But that we’ll beat the record 
And make it more this year. 
—Carolyn Wells, in Life. 
Belle: “Does your new waist button 
in the back?” Estelle: “It does if there 
is anybody around when I put it on.”— 
Baltimore American. 
Facto: “In the ages past, how did peo¬ 
ple ever manage to live without telephones 
and the telegraph ?” Philos: “They 
didn’t; they all died.”—Life. 
Mr. Jones: “What is it, my pet?” 
Mrs. Jones: “This rabbit—(sob)—I’ve 
been plucking it—(sob)—all the afternoon 
and it isn't half done yet!”—Punch. 
“Yes, indeed, Mrs. Flaherty, fish is ter¬ 
ribly dear now. We have to go without 
eating for two or three days before we 
can afford to observe a fast day.”—Meg- 
gendorfer Blatter. 
“My husband, Bridget,” said her mis¬ 
tress proudly, “is a colonel in the militia.” 
“I t’ought as much, ma’am,” said Bridget; 
“sure, it’s th’ foine malicious look he has, 
ma’am !!”—Tit-Bits. 
Friend: “I’m afraid your husband has 
a bad cold; he’s continually sneezing. It’s 
quite painful to hear him. Why don’t you 
ask a doctor to see him?” Matron: “Well, 
I’m waiting just a few days, because it 
amuses baby so to see his father sneeze.” 
—Bon Vivant. 
“Hardup: “I’ll never go to that res¬ 
taurant again. The last time I was there 
a man got my overcoat and left his in its 
place.” Weloff: “But the proprietor 
wasn’t to blame, was he?” Hardup: 
“No, but I might meet the other man.”— 
Pearson’s Weekly. 
“Ah! Mr. Penn.” said the misguided ad¬ 
mirer of young Woodby Pote, “don’t you 
think Mr. Pote’s poems arc full of words 
that burn-” “Never put ’em to that 
test,” replied Penn, the editor; “I merely 
drop ’em in the waste basket.”—Philadel¬ 
phia Press. 
The tug tooted mournfully, pleading for 
the opening of Central Viaduct. “Ah!” 
exclaimed a stranger on the Detroit street 
car, “that sounds like home. Just like 
being back in dear cld Trenton.” “I didn’t 
know you had tugboats in Trenton,” said 
the native. “Tugboats?” exclaimed the 
Jersevman. “Why, that was a mosquito, 
wasn’t it?”—Cleveland Leader. 
“That fellow, leaning against the sign¬ 
post over there,” said a hypercritical 
guest, “is boasting that he is the most 
enterprising man in town. He has been 
drinking, I judge.” “Yape!” nonchalantly 
replied the landlord of the Polkville 
(Ark.) tavern. “He 'most generally has. 
That’s Roderick Dhu Swiggs. When a 
common, every-day man drinks too much 
too long, he is liable to see a few snakes 
and such trifles, but the last time Rod¬ 
erick Dhu Swiggs had the delirium tre¬ 
mens he beheld a procession of sixteen 
hundred and nine red geese and ganders 
paradin’ past him, and every goose car¬ 
ried a parasol, and every gander was 
smokin’ a cigarette; and if that ain’t en¬ 
terprise, I’d know what you would call 
it.”—Puck.
