THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
September 29, 1906. 
HUMOROUS 
“You hear so many people quoting 
about ‘the way of the transgressor.’ What 
does it mean, anyway?” “My dear sir, 
the ‘weigh of the transgressor’ is usually 
about 1,800 pounds of coal to the ton.”— 
Philadelphia Ledger. 
Sportsman : “I wonder what’s become 
of Mike? I told him to meet me here.” 
Driver: “Ach, ’tis no use tellin’ him any¬ 
thing! Sure, sorr, ut just goes in at wan 
ear and out at the other, like wather off 
a duck’s back!”—Punch. 
“Correspondent wants to know who 
are the greatest stamp collectors in the 
country,” said the assistant briefly. “Does 
he inclose stamp for reply?” answered 
the editor. “Yes.” “Then tell him we 
are.”—Chicago Daily News. 
“Did you tell your master that I helped 
you with your French exercise, Gerald?” 
“Yes, pater.” “What did he say?” “Said 
he wouldn’t keep me in to-day, ’cos it 
didn’t seem fair I should suffer for your 
ignorance!”—The Australasian. 
“Here! you, sir,” cried the irate old 
gentleman, “didn’t I tell you never to 
enter this house again?” “No, sir,” re¬ 
plied his daughter’s persistent suitor. 
“You said not to ‘cross your threshold,’ 
so I climbed in the window.”—Philadel¬ 
phia Press. 
“Your Honor,” said the arrested chauf¬ 
feur, “I tried to warn the man, but the 
horn would not work.” “Then why did 
you not slacken speed rather than run 
him down?” A light seemed to dawn 
upon the prisoner. “Gee!” he said, “that’s 
one on me. I never thought of that.”— 
Philadelphia Ledger. 
“But, ’Mandy, if you can buy ribbon 
like that for 45 cents a yard at the little 
store up here on the corner, what’s the use 
of going all the way to town, and paying 
car fare both ways, to get it for 42 cents? 
You don’t save anything, do you?” 
“Goodness, yes. Papa always allows me 
money for car fare.”—Chicago Tribune. 
“My dear,” says the thoughtful hus¬ 
band, entering the house with a huge 
package in his arms, “you remember last 
week when you secured such a wonderful 
bargain in shirts at forty-eight cents and 
neckties at three for a quarter for me?” 
“Yes, love,” says the fond wife. “Well, 
don’t think I don’t appreciate your 
thoughtfulness. See, I have bought some¬ 
thing for you. I noticed some beautiful 
green and yellow plaid goods in a show- 
window on my way home, and bought you 
eighty yards of it at four cents a yard. 
The clerk said it was a great bargain, and 
it will make enough dresses to last you 
two years. Why, she has fainted!”—Life. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you'll get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See guarantee, page 8 . 
SAVE MONEY ON PAINT 
When you buy paints from the store 
or supply house, only half your money 
goes to the man who made the paint— 
the other half is divided between the 
wholesale dealer, traveling salesman 
and local storekeeper, to cover their 
profits and expenses. Quite a/ot of 
people for you to help support. 
You can save all these costs and 
expenses and get full value for your 
money in the best Lead and Zinc paint 
by buying direct from Ingersoll , who 
has made paint 64 years and sells direct 
from factory to consumer.
