THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
November 20, 1909. 
HUMOROUS 
Said the Pole to the North Star, “I’m 
skeery: 
This long winter night is so dreary!” 
“Ship Ahoy!” said the Star. 
“Stay right where you are! 
Here’s Cook! And, great snakes here comes 
Peary!” —Life. 
Inquisitive Stranger (to constable): 
“I understand that the measles broke 
out here recently.” Constable (proudly) : 
“Yes, but our head constable caught 
’em.—Tit-Bits. 
Councillor: “I’ve come to see if you 
will subscribe anything to the town 
cemetery.” Old Resident: “Good gra¬ 
cious ! I’ve already subscribed three 
wives!”—Tit-Bits. 
“Don’t get down in the mouth, old 
man,” said the optimist. “Look on the 
bright side of things.” “That's all very 
well,” mournfully replied the sufferer; 
“but what is the bright side of a gum¬ 
boil ?”—Tit-Bits. 
“I read that a cure had been found 
for this ’ere sleeping sickness,” said the 
farmer. “Got any in stock?” “No, not 
yet,” confessed the druggist. “Sorry,” 
rejoined the farmer; “wanted dime’s 
worth to try on the hired man.”—Phila¬ 
delphia Ledger. 
“Here, you,” said the conductor an¬ 
grily, “you rang up a fare. Do that 
again and I’ll put you off.” The small 
man standing in the middle of the 
crowded car promptly rang up another 
fare. Thereupon the conductor project¬ 
ed him through the crowd and to the 
edge of the platform. “Thanks,” said 
the little man. “I did not see any other 
way to get out. Here’s your dime.”— 
Success. 
It was one of the freshman class who, 
meeting the janitor of the building in 
which he had rooms, indulged in a cal¬ 
low joke. “Pretty near Winter, Will¬ 
iam.” lie said, jovially. “The trees are 
getting nearly as black as you.” “Dat’s 
true, sah,” and William surveyed the 
elms thoughtfully, as one seeing them 
for the first time. “Nature’s wonderful, 
sah. no mistake. Come Spring, dose 
trees’ll be almost as green as you, sah.”
