HUMOROUS 
I’m happy now as one can be— 
At least, upon this earth— 
Because I haven’t time to think 
How little I am worth; 
It’s really gratifying to 
Forget how poor you are 
While riding in an auto—er 
I mean a mortgaged car. 
It used to trouble me to meet 
My creditors, for they 
Have such a faculty at times 
Of getting In the way : 
But now I scarcely see them in 
My touring —er, I mean 
A mortgaged autombile run 
With borrowed gasoline ! —Bife. 
She (gushingly) : “Don’t you love all 
the fresh, green young things?” He (ju¬ 
dicially) : “Yes, if they ain’t human.”— 
Baltimore American. 
“Freddy, you shouldn’t laugh out loud 
in the schoolroom,” exclaimed the teacher. 
“I didn’t mean to do it,” apologized Fred¬ 
dy. “I was smiling, when all of a suddent 
the smile busted.”—Harper’s Weekly. 
Irate Parent: “Here! What is all this 
racket?” Bobby: “Please, papa, we are 
playing a train of cars and I am the loco¬ 
motive.” Irate Parent: “You are the 
locomotive, eh? Well, I think I'll just 
switch you.”—Dispatch Magazine. 
“What a bright little thing!” exclaimed 
the society woman, patronizingly cooing 
at a baby out for an airing in the park. 
“Whose little one is this?” “Yours,” 
ma’am, replied the nurse. “I’m the new 
nurse that kern yistherd’y.”—Philadelphia 
Press. 
Russian Official: “You cannot stay 
in this countrv, sir.” Traveler: “T hen, of 
course, I will leave it.” “Have you a per¬ 
mit to leave?” “No, sir.” “Then I must 
tell you that you cannot go. I will give 
you 24 hours to make up your mind as to 
what you will do.”—Tatler.

“I like the automobile for style,” said 
the old Georgia farmer, “but for safety 
an’ solid comfort give me the slow, old- 
fashioned ox cart, but I’d like to collar 
one o’ them automobiles an’ hitch about 
four plows behind it in a 20-acre field,

“things have to be of the same denomina¬ 
tion. For instance, we couldn’t take three 
apples from four years, nor six horses 
from nine dogs.” A hand went up in the 
back of the room. “Well, 'Johnny?” 
smiled the unsuspecting teacher. “Please, 
madam,” shouted the boy, “can’t you take 
four quarts of milk from three cows?”—

Old Uncle Jacob was walking majes¬ 
tically up and down the village street 
dressed in his Sunday suit. “Hallo, Uncle 
Jacob,” cried one of his neighbors, “are 
you having a holiday?” “Yes, I am,” re¬ 
plied Uncle Jacob, proudly. “I’m cele¬ 
brating my golden wedding.” “Then why 
isn’t your wife celebrating it with you?” 
said the man. “She aint got aught to do 
with it,’ replied Uncle Jacob indignantly. 
“She’s the fourth.”—Credit Lost.

MONEY LOST IN JOLTS 
Can you estimate how much your wagon—and loads of stock, fruit and produce—are injured 
by lack of springs? 
It may not seem much when only given a passing thought—but those who have tried 
bolster springs know that it is considerable. 
HARVEY BOLSTER SPRINGS are made of the finest spring steel, tempered to the 
point of perfection, rigidly tested and tried. They fit any farm wagon. 
We unreservedly guarantee these springs for all time. If, from any defect of material or 
workmanship, a Harvey Spring does not give satisfaction, at any time— one year or ten years— 
we will make it good without a word of argument. 
Free Trial of Harvey Bolster Spring 
Every dealer is authorized to let Harvey Bolster Springs out on 30 clays’ free trial. If 
they fail to give perfect satisfaction, return them and the trial will not cost one cent. We sell 
only through dealers—it’s more economical and you see what you are getting before buying. 
If your dealer does not sell Harvey Bolster Springs, ask him to write us mentioning your name. We’ll send him 
prices and YOU WILL GF.T A USEFUL SOUVENIR with full particulars about Harvey Bolster Springs. It is a pleasure 
to ride iu a farm wagon with Harvey Bolster Springe. HARVEY SPRING COMPANY, 1 44 Carver Avp., Racine, Wl*.
