THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
June 22, 1907. 
HUMOROUS 
All things in nature harmonize, 
We may be sure of that. 
Birds in their little nests' agree 
And also on a hat. 
—New York Sun. 
The Judge : “And did this man do you 
bodily harm?” The Victim: “Naw, yer 
anner. He smashed me fa-ace.”—Cleve¬ 
land Leader. 
“The wall paper hangers charged so 
much that Knockley put the paper on him¬ 
self.” “Dear me, how odd he must have 
looked.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. 
“Who is the sleek, prosperous-looking 
man?” “That’s Jossherley. He made $80,- 
000 out of a book he wrote, showing how 
to live on 90 cents a week.”—Chicago 
Record-Herald. 
“How many ribs have you, Johnny?” 
asked the teacher. “I don’t know, ma’am,” 
giggled Johnny, squirming around on one 
foot. “I’m so awful ticklish I never could 
count ’em.”—Everybody’s. 
Barber : “Thank you, sir. I don’t often 
get my tip before I begin. I’m sure I ap¬ 
preciate-” Customer (who likes his 
hair cut in silence) : “I don’t want you 
to consider that a tip. It’s ‘hush’ money.” 
—Punch. 
“If I give you a dime,” remarked the 
benevolent old gentleman, “what assur¬ 
ance have I that you will not go off and 
get intoxicated?” “Sir,” exclaimed the 
weary wayfarer, with a remnant of pride, 
“do I look like a person who could get in¬ 
toxicated on a dime?”—Philadelphia 
Record. 
“The Scotch,’ said Secretary Wilson, of 
the Department of Agriculture, “are cer¬ 
tainly a witty people. Now, there was a 
visitor in the little town of Bowdoin who, 
on looking about, saw no children, but 
only grown men and women. He won¬ 
dered at this and, finally, meeting a weaz¬ 
ened old man on the street, inquired: 
“How often are children born in this 
town?” “Only once,” the man replied, as 
he proceeded on his way.—Saturday 
Evening Post. 
Bill Nye, the humorist, once had a 
cow to sell and advertised her as follows: 
“Owing to my ill-health I will sell at my 
residence, in township nineteen, range 
eighteen, according to the Government’s 
survey, one plush raspberry cow, aged 
eight years. She is of undoubted courage, 
and gives milk frequently. To a man who 
does not fear death in any form she would 
be a great boon. She is very much at¬ 
tached to her present home with a stay- 
chain, but she will be sold to anyone 
who will agree to treat her right. She 
is one-fourth Short-horn and three-quar¬ 
ters hyena. I will also throw in a double- 
barrel shotgun, which goes with her. In 
May she usually goes away for a week or 
two and returns with a tall red calf with 
wabbly legs. Her name is Rose. I 
would rather sell to a nonresident.”— 
Judge’s Library. 
The people didn’t merely look at Prof. 
Branefog—they stared. He knew he was 
absent-minded at times, and he wondered 
whether he had rubbed his face with boot 
polish instead of cold cream after he had 
shaved, or whether he had forgotten to 
change his dressing gown for his frock 
coat. But a kindly policeman put things 
right. “Are you aware, sir, that you are 
carrying a joint of beef in your arms?” he 
asked. “Goodness me!” said the profes¬ 
sor. “I knew something was wrong. My 
wife told me to put her Sunday hat on 
the bed, to place this roast in the oven and 
to take the baby and the dog for a walk.” 
“You’ve not put the baby in the oven, 
surely?” said the law’s guardian. “I put 
something in it,” said Branefog, “but I 
don’t know whether it was the baby or the 
dog!” With bated breath they hurried 
to the professor’s house. Here, on the 
bed, lay the baby and the dog, but it was 
just as bad for Branefog. It was his wife’s 
Sunday hat that was in the oven!—Tit- 
Bits.
