HUMOROUS 
“There goes Spriggins. They say that 
man has been given up by half a 
dozen doctors.” “What’s the trouble 
with him?” “He won’t pay his bills.” 
—Boston Transcript. 
“Hello, Debbs! You look like an¬ 
other man after your vacation.” “I am 
another man,” retorted the individual 
addressed. “My name, sir, is Dingbat.” 
—Washington Herald. 
“Any malaria around here?” asked 
the tourist. “Some say they is an’ 
some say they ain’t,” replied the native. 
“It ’pears to depend mos’ly on whether 
the person enjoys the kind of medicine 
that’s mos’ly took fur it.”—Washington 
Star. 
“Mamma, is that lady the snake 
charmer? Why, she’s as homely as a 
mud fence!” “Yes, dear, but snakes are 
not like men. It takes something more 
than mere personal beauty to charm a 
snake.”—Chicago Tribune. 
“Is your boy Josh much of a help to 
you?” “Yes,” replied Farmer Corntos- 
sel. “He’s makin’ a collection of in¬ 
sects. Of course, he don’t catch as many 
as he could if he wouldn’t stop to label 
’em, but every little helps.”—Wash- 
ton Star. 
Jones was always very tactful. This 
is what he wrote: “Dear Mrs. Smith— 
Your husband cannot come home to¬ 
day because his clothes were blown up 
in a boiler explosion. P. S'.—Poor 
Smith was inside cf the clothes.”—To¬ 
ledo Blade. 
“Guess I’ll hitch up the old mare to 
the wagon and drive down to the depot 
to meet those new city boarders,” said 
the farmer. “Why don’t you run down 
in the machine?” said his wife. “It 
won’t do,” replied the farmer sadly. “I”d 
like to, but it isn’t business. You see 
I advertised this place as having all 
the comforts of an old-fashioned farm 
and I’ve got to give ’em what they ex¬ 
pect.”—Watertown (N. Y.) Times.

I t. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and a 
“square deal." See guarantee editorial page.

frequently five times as much potash as the aver¬ 
age fertilizer selling at $25 to $30 per ton.
