“With one exception, everything I’ve 
put money into has gone up in the air.” 
“What was the exception?” “An air¬ 
ship !”—Philadelphia North American. 
Magistrate: “So you acknowledge 
having stolen the overcoat. Anything 
more to say?” Prisoner: “Yes, your 
Honor. I had to have the sleeves re¬ 
lined.”—Punch. 
First Farmer: “That new hired man 
of yours must have been a bookkeeper 
before he came to you. Second Farmer: 
“Why so?” First Farmer: “I notice that 
every time he stops work for a few 
minutes that he puts the pitchfork be¬ 
hind his ear.”—Woman’s Home Com¬ 
panion. 
“I can promise you that if you take 
service with me you will be treated as 
one of the family.” “That’s what the 
lady at the las’ place told me, ma’am— 
an’ I lost 22 pounds an’ me temper, an’ 
17 pocket handkerchiefs in th’ 14 weeks 
I liver there, ma’am.”—Cleveland Plain 
Dealer. 
The author was staying at the coun¬ 
try farmhouse while he finished his 
mammoth “History of Advertising,” 
which was to startle the world. “I 
wish I knew who could have been the 
first manufacturer to advertise,” he 
murmured thoughtfully. “The item 
would fit in so well here.” “There’s no 
reliable information on the subject, per¬ 
haps,” replied the farmer, “but I have 
every reason to believe that the hen is 
the person you are looking for.”—Life. 
A colored preacher took some candi¬ 
dates for immersion down to a river in 
Louisiana. Seeing some alligators in 
the stream, one of them objected. 
“Why, brother,” urged the pastor, “can’t 
you trust the Lord? He took care of 
Jonah, didn’t he?” “Y-a-a-s,”’ ad¬ 
mitted the darkey, “but a whale’s differ¬ 
ent. A whale’s got mem’ry, but if 
one o’ dem ’gators wus ter swaller dis 
nigger, he’d jes’ go to sleep dar in the 
sun an’ forgit all about me.”—Credit 
Lost. 
Some time ago an elderly gentleman 
was cycling down a narrow street in a 
country town when a dog suddenly 
rushed out from a doorway, and getting 
under his wheel threw him on the 
ground in a sitting position. The dog, 
seeming to enjoy the situation, circled 
round and round, barking playfully. A 
boy who was passing at the same time 
stood calmly staring at the performance 
for a minute or two, and then inquired 
in a quiet voice: “Did you fall off, 
mister?” “Of course I did,” said the 
old gentleman, angrily, while getting up 
and endeavoring to brush the dust from 
his clothes, “Ah,” replied the lad as he 
strolled away; “I thought you couldn’t 
have sat down in the road just to play 
with the dog.”—London Telegraph. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See guarantee, page 8 .

Deal Buggies 
Are Beauties 
And They Wear As Well As They Look 
You want both style and service in a' 
buggy. You get them both in the DEAL. 
The beauty of Deal design is striking. The 
finish is superb. And the wear Is there —under the lustrous paint and varnish. 
It’s in the wheels and the gear—in the body—the trimmings—the accessories. 
They are built for bad roads —and fairly spin over the hard, smooth stretches. 
There’s speed and service and lasting satisfaction in every “ Deal." 
On the Market 50 Years-ln the Lead Today 
Deal buggies have been pacemakers in style, quality and service for over fifty years. We take 
our time and we build them right and don’t care a continental for competition. We sell all we 
can make and each one is an advertisement on wheels. Thousands of Deal Buggies are 
advertising our high-grade work, all through Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. You see them every¬ 
where. We put our “Trade-Mark” on each buggy, and this is what it means— “We absolutely 
guarantee the material and workmanship to be perfect.’* It is as good as an .ggjEBuoc?i 
Insurance Policy, because Michigan’s Pioneer Buggy Builder stands back of it. 
Write for our Free Ru^y Book. It is different from the ordinary buggy catalog, 
because it tells the plain truth, without literary varnish. You’ll enjoy reading it.

stablings in the world. 
The Adjustable Stanchions are of 
an entirely new type and have no 
equal. The only stanchions which 
enable you to line cows up on the gutter per¬ 
fectly. They adjust six inches either forward 
or back for cows of different lengths. They

lying down. The Mangers (furnished any length) are strong sheet steel, reinforced by angle iron and pro¬ 
vide for easy cleaning and indoor watering. Trough in cement fioor forms bottom. Counter weights raise 
mangers over cows’ heads for cleaning trough and turning in water—the ideal arrangement for cleanliness 
and convenience. Stall Partitions are lj^-inoh steel pipes. No overhead bracing. Room for all attentions, 
cows turn easily, easily kept clean. The whole is the most open, neatest, cleanest, most convenient and sub¬ 
stantial cow stabling arrangement ever perfected, bar none. Write for free book of particulars. It will 
open your eyes on ideal cow stabling. We make five styles of stanchions, steel and wood stalls, and full 
line of dairy supplies. Address
