HUMOROUS 
I see grandfather’s 
go to war.” “Well?” 
I notice grandfather’s 
down.”—Louisville 
Quidnunc : “What makes your hair so 
much grayer than your whiskers?” Bul- 
finch: “Why, my hair is a great deal old¬ 
er than my whiskers.”—Woman’s 
Journal.

Cou rier-J ournal. 
A backwoodsman who had been elect¬ 
ed to the Legislature went to the city 
postoffice to get some stamps. “What 
denomination?” inquired the clerk. 
"Lutheran,” said the member, modestly. 
—Woman’s Journal. 
Little Kollo had been reproved for his 
table manners by papa and mamma. He 
trained his baby stare on mamma to ask: 
“When you was a little girl didnt y’ever 
dip your jelly roll in coffee?” “No. my 
dear,” with a tinge of acerbity. “Y’ot to 
try it. Gee. it’s great!”—Buffalo Ex¬ 
press. 
“Noav, Thomas,” said the teacher 
severely, “how many times must I tell 
you not to snap your lingers? Put your 
hand down and presently I’ll hear from 
you.” Five minutes later she said: 
“Now, then Thomas, what was it you 
wanted to say?” “There was a man in 
the entry a while ago,” said Thomas 
serenely, “and he went out with your 
new silk umbrella.’—Toronto Sun. 
An Ohio man tells of a farmer in that 
State who, even in the hour of adversity, 
could think of others. An unseasonable 
frost had completed the damage done by 
the insects to his potatoes. The tops of 
the plants, which had served as pastur¬ 
age for the pests, were wholly destroyed. 
Meeting him at the post office one day a 
•friend asked: “How are you, Tom? 
Things goin’ well?” “Goin’ well!” ex¬ 
claimed the old man, “I should say not! 
There’s trouble and plenty of it! Why, up 
at my place there’s nine million potato- 
bugs. an’ nothin’ for them to eat.”— 
Credit Lost. 
A northern school teacher was spend¬ 
ing her vacation down South, and, as 
she was passing a tumble-down shanty, 
she heard an old negress call to a child: 
“Come heah, yo’ Exy! Exy!” “That 
seems like a very peculiar name for a 
child, Auntie,” said the teacher. “Dat 
ain’t her full name,” answered the moth¬ 
er with pride; “da’t jest de pet name I 
calls her fer short. It’s a mighty grand 
name wot dat chile has got. I picked it 
out’n a medicine book. Dat chile’s full 
name am ‘Eczema.’ ”—New Orleans 
Picayune. 
A merchant’s carnival was being held 
in a country village and little girls repre¬ 
sented the various shops. One, dressed 
in a white muslin frock, gayly strung with 
garlands of bon-bons, advertised the local 
candy store. When the festival began 
she fairly glistened with attractive con¬ 
fectionery, but as time wore on her dec¬ 
orations grew less. Finally, at the end 
of the last act, not a bon-bon was to be 
seen. “Why, Dora!” cried the stage 
manager, “where in the world are all 
your decorations? Have you lost them?” 
“Oh, no,” replied Dora: “They’re per¬ 
fectly safe. I’m wearing them on the in¬ 
side.”—Toronto Sun.

The 
One-Man 
Loader 
With this Loader, one man can put on a good, even load of hay, in 
practically the same time that it would take two men with other loaders. 
The Flying Dutchman loads hay, clover or alfalfa without “chewing it up” 
or threshing out the seed. 
It operates with the long, easy, natural stroke of the hand rake, elevates 
carefully and loads it on the wagon in excellent condition. 
Works on an entirely new principle that does away with all cams, drums, 
chains, sprockets, rope webs, gears and trouble. 
Light Draft and Long* Life—There’s nothing to wear out or get out of 
order, and the extra long stroke does not pound the machine to pieces. 
No Clogging—The yielding deck effectually prevents clogging. Heavy or 
light hay, swath or windrow can be handled without any adjustment. 
All-Steel Frame—It cannot warp, sag, rot, nor get out of shape. 
Many ADRIANCE Mowers 
In Use 40 Years 
Are giving excellent service today. 
No other Mower has such a record 
because none is so well built. 
Adriance Mowers have nearly 60 
years of the hardest kind of service 
back of them. 
They are the best made—simplest in 
construction—lightest draft—most 
powerful—need fewest repairs, thou¬ 
sands of users will testify. 
Adjustable carrying springs take weight from center bar and put it on 
the wheels, greatly reducing draft and increasing traction. 
Cutter Bar follows the ground no matter how uneven it may be. 
Automatic spring draft prevents damage to machine, driver or team in case 
obstruction is struck. 
Forward acting, natural position foot lever makes ideal foot brace in 
controlling fractious team.
