THE RURAL NEW-YORKER* 
June 20, 1908. 
HUMOROUS 
Nell : “A girl shouldn’t marry a man 
till she knows all about him.” Belle: 
“Good gracious! If she knew all about 
him she wouldn’t want to marry him.”— 
Philadelphia Record. 
Instructor (at night school) : “What 
proof have we that the world is round?” 
Shaggy Haired Pupil: “Don’t need no 
proof. I’m willing to believe the jog- 
raphies.”—Chicago Tribune. 
Caller : “I see you keep chickens. 
What breed do you consider the best?” 
Suburbanite: “It’s hard to tell. I no¬ 
tice, though, that more of my White 
Wyandottes are stolen than any other 
kind.”—Chicago Tribune. 
Country Editor: “I’m glad you 
brought these spring poems early.” 
Spring Poet: “Yes, sir.” Country 
Editor (putting them in the stove) : 
“Yes, sir! Most spring poets wait till 
the weather gets too warm to use them.” 
—Judge. 
“The Swelltons seem to keep up an 
imposing establishment,” remarked the 
canned-goods drummer. “You bet they 
do,” replied the groceryman, with a 
sigh long drawn out; “and I’m one of 
the fellows they impose on.”—Chicago 
Daily News. 
“Pardon me, sir,” began the portly 
person in the railroad train to the man 
who sat next to him, “but what would 
you say if I sat on your hat?” “Sup¬ 
posing you sit on it and then ask me,” 
suggested the other. “I did,” admitted 
the portly person, calmly.—Harper’s 
Weekly. 
’Way up in Vermont, Uncle Eph 
Kinney was looking over his field of 
clover, when up drove a neighbor. 
“Grass is awful short this year, ain’t 
it, Uncle Eph?” lie said. “Short!’" 
cried Uncle Eph. “Why, it’s so blamed 
short the bumblebees hev to git down 
on their knees to suck the blossoms”— 
Credit Lost. 
It was close on midnight and the pro¬ 
fessional guest felt it was high time for 
him to stop playing. “Perhaps I’d bet¬ 
ter not play any more to-night,” he said, 
wearily. “I see you have near neigh¬ 
bors, and they might be annoyed.” 
“You needn’t mind them for* a minute,” 
said his hostess, earnestly. “We are 
perfectly sure they poisoned our cat, 
and if they did, nothing is too bad for 
them.”—Youth’s Companion. 
“You were talking,” said the sym¬ 
pathetic man to the veteran motorman, 
“of the car getting beyond your control 
and rushing down a steep grade with 
terrific rapidity. I cannot understand 
how you escaped with your life.” “Oh ! 
sir, the escape was providential,” re¬ 
plied the motorman. “Just as the car 
was about to dash through a wall and 
hurl us over a high precipice, a gang of 
laborers unconsciously got in the way 
and brought us to an easy stop.”—Life.

R. X.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See guarantee, page 8.

What more vital claim for superiority can a baling 
press have than that it holds all records for speed, capa¬ 
city, durability and neat work, embodying all the good 
features a baling press can nave ? These you get in 
Dederick’s 5S2L 
Every Dederick Press is an individual piece of work — 
not a haphazard “factory production.” The materials 
in them are of most careful selection ; every improve¬ 
ment is introduced into construction and design; only 
high class workmen are employed. 
The benefits of these ideal conditions most assert themselves in 
results, for Dederick Presses do the best work in the best way in 
the shortest time. One for every use. Complete catalogue free.
