THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
July 4. 1908 
HUMOROUS 
There was a little girl 
Who had a little curl 
Right down the middle of her forehead. 
Although it looked like that 
She pinned it on her bat, 
And when it came off it was horrid. 
—Harper’s Bazaar. 
A gentleman undertook to purchase 
a waist for his wife. “What bust?” 
inquired the saleswoman. “Why, I 
didn’t hear anything.”—Everybody’s 
Magazine. 
‘My hair is falling out,” admitted the 
timid man in a drug store. “Can you 
recommend something to keep it in?” 
“Certainly,” replied the obliging clerk. 
“Get a box.”—Lippincott’s. 
He: “When a woman reaches the age 
of 30 she begins to worry for fear she 
won’t get married.” She: “And how 
about a man?” He: “Oh, a man begins 
to worry for fear he will.”—Philadel¬ 
phia Record. 
Farmer : “I’m a-goin’ to drive to town 
some day next week, Marthy.” His 
wife: “You can’t, Hiram. I wuz just 
lookin’ over the skedool of auto races 
an’ there ain’t an open date for hoss- 
drivin’ on the roads for the next 10 
days.”—Puck. 
The visiting parson was handing con¬ 
vict No. 1313 consolation in small 
chunks. “You should not complain, my 
misguided friend,” he said. “It is bet¬ 
ter to take things as you find them.” 
“Youse is on de wrong track,” replied 
the prisoner. “It was practisin’ dat 
theory dat got me pinched.”—Chicago 
Daily News. 
Drummer (settling bill in Eagle 
House, Hayfield) : “Pardon my curios¬ 
ity, sir, but what do you stuff your beds 
with in this hotel?” Landlord 
(proudly) : “Best straw to be had in 
this hull country, b’gosh!” Drummer: 
“Ah ! That is very interesting. I know 
now where the straw came from that 
broke the camel’s back!”—Puck. 
It is related that a woman who 
visited the British Museum recently, 
said to an attendant: “I have been 
looking about for a skull of O'Hver 
Cromwell. Have you no skull of Crom¬ 
well here?" “No, madam,” the atten¬ 
dant answered. “How very odd!” she 
exclaimed, “they have a fine one in the 
museum at Oxford.”—Philadelphia 
North American. 
“These are hard times, sir,”’ com¬ 
plained a tenant whose rent was due, 
“and I’m sorry I haven’t been able to 
raise more than 15 pounds of the 20 
I owe you. Here it is—all I could 
scrape together.” “I regret to hear 
that,” said his landlord, as he took the 
bag and poured the contents on to the 
table. “But, I say,” he added, after 
counting the money, “there’s 25 pounds 
here.” “Great Scott!” exclaimed the 
tenant. “I’ve given you the wrong 
bag!”—Tit-Bits.

HE first rear-'s £>'ofings, made 
some thirty ago, lasted a 
very short time. 
Then manufacturers improved the 
goods and smooth surfaced roofings 
of various kinds were developed that 
would endure fairly well if the top 
surface was given a coat of heavy 
waterproof paint every two years. 
The waterproof¬ 
ing material in Amatite 
is pitch— the best resistant 
to water known. Water will in time 
dissolve or disintegrate almost any¬ 
thing, but it is powerless against pitch. 
Roofings of twice the price often 
do not protect as well because they 
are not waterproofed with pitch. 
Now comes Amatite—with a min¬ 
eral surface which requires no paint¬ 
ing and which will last longer with¬ 
out painting than the other kind did 
with constant painting. 
The top surface, being mineral, is 
unaffected by weather or climate. It 
really protects. 
Amatite is easy to lay—any one 
can do the work. We furnish you 
free nails and liquid cement for laps. 
Investigate the cost of Amatite in 
your locality. You will be aston¬ 
ished at its low price.
