THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
HUMOROUS 
“I suppose you are saving up for a 
rainy day?” “No,” replied Farmer Corn- 
tossel. “Out this way we pray for rain. 
I’m saving up for a drought.”—Washing¬ 
ton Star. 
“He who puts his hand to the plow,” 
screamed the cross-roads orator, “must 
not turn back!” “What is he to do 
when he gets to the end of a furrer?” 
asked the auditor in the blue jean over¬ 
alls.—Christian Register. 
“Don’t you know you ought to be 
spanked? What do you mean by holding 
my watch beneath the hydrant?” “Why,, 
you told Mr. Smith just yesterday that 
you had to soak your watch every once 
in a while.”—Houston Post. 
Mother: “Sometimes there are rude 
boys in Sunday school who giggle and 
smile at little girls, and sometimes little 
girls smile back at them, but I hope my 
little girl does not behave like that.” 
Small Daughter: “No, indeed, mamma; 
I always put out my tongue at ’em.”— 
Boston Transcript. 
One of the guests at a wedding seeing 
a dismal looking young man, who ap¬ 
peared to be on terms of familiarity with 
the principals, asked: “Are you related 
to the bride or to the bridegroom elect?” 
“No,” was the gloomy reply. “Then,” 
said the guest, “what interest have you in 
the ceremony?” “Well,” replied the 
young man, “I’m the defeated candi¬ 
date.”—Ladies’ Home Journal. 
Men who sit still in the street cars 
while women stand and give as their ex¬ 
cuse the assertion that women do not 
thank them when they do offer their 
seats will like this story: The man 
arose and gave his seat to a girl. “Oh, 
thank you, most kindly, sir,” she replied. 
“Don’t mind her being polite,” explained 
a sad-faced woman. “I’m taking her to 
a sanitarium.”—Kansas City Star. 
They had just finished taking a new 
film in a big German moving-picture 
studio near Berlin. Among the properties 
was a live stork which had been trained 
to reach out one of his long legs and 
shake hands with people. Everybody was 
gathered around the bird trying out his 
accomplishment. A little six-year-old girl 
was among them. The stork shook hands 
with her, too. Then she ran beaming to 
her mother crying, “Mamma ! Mamma ! he 
knew me again at once!”—New York 
Evening Post. 
Rorert had two little playfellows who 
were passing the afternoon with him. 
They finally began boasting about their 
parents and belongings. “My father,” 
bragged Robert, “is going to. build a fine 
house with a steeple on it.” “That’s noth¬ 
ing,” exclaimed Louis, scornfully. “My 
father has just built a house with a flag¬ 
pole on it.” Sherman, who had been lis¬ 
tening intently; was silent for a mo¬ 
ment, then burst forth triumphantly: 
“Gee, that’s nothing. My father is going 
to build a corking house with a mort¬ 
gage on it.”—Harper’s Monthly. 
Saji and Luke, browsing around, 
crossed the pasture. The Judge’s bull 
saw them, and Sam beat him to the fence 
by a single stride with nothing to spare, j 
Luke, a bad starter, didn’t try for the 
fence; he stuck to the open. He led the 
hull around the field on the first lap, 
while Sam, from the fence, urged him 
to “a li'l bust er speed.” On the sec¬ 
ond lap Sam exhorted him: “Run, nig- 
geh—you ain’ half runnin’!” The third 
time, Sam yelled: “Make has’e!” Luke 
risked all in his answer. “G’awn, man,” 
he gasped, “you doan think Ah’m tliroio- 
in' dis yer race, does yer?”—Credit Lost.

The Two Extra Seats Disappear When Not Wanted 
Next Year s Gem Car 
-now just out— 
The new HUDSON Six-40 
fulfils our dreams of the ideal car. 
It is our last season’s success plus a year of refine¬ 
ments. It has 3 I new features. And the price—due 
to trebled output—is $200 less. 
Our 48 engineers—headed by Howard E. Coffin 
—have now devoted four years to this HUDSON 
Six-40. And they now present it as the finest ex¬ 
ample of the coming type of car. 
Note What It Embodies 
You have wanted a Six, but all Sixes were costly. 
Here is a Six of the finest type for $1,550. 
You have wanted lightness. Here is a Six, with 
room for seven passengers, weighing 2,890 pounds. 
We have saved at least 1,000 pounds—the weight 
of a car-full of people. All through proper mate¬ 
rials and better designing, with no sacrifice of 
strength. 
You wanted lower operative cost 
type motor saves you 30 per 
cent under former cars of simi¬ 
lar capacity. 
You wanted beauty. We of¬ 
fer you here one of the hand¬ 
somest cars in the world — a 
distinguished car — a thorough¬ 
bred. 
You wanted every conven¬ 
ience, every comfort, every new 
idea in equipment. We embody 
them all in this car. 
priced. You have found no low-priced car to com¬ 
pare with them. 
But here is a car built to accord with the highest 
HUDSON standards. It is built by Howard E. 
Coffin and his famous corps of engineers. Four years 
have been spent to bring every part to the finest 
point of refinement. It forms the last word 
quality car. And the price is $1,550.

Last year’s HUDSON Six-40 met an over¬ 
whelming welcome. Men ordered 3,000 more 
than we could build. They offered premiums 
to get it. 
We have met men’s wants. Now, to meet their 
demands, we have trebled our factory output. 
And the saving effected—$200 per car—goes to 
HUDSON buyers. 
Other cars will this year offer you many of 
the HUDSON attractions. These are the lines 
which the best future cars must 
follow. But you’ll not find else¬ 
where these attractions combined 
with the HUDSON price. 
Go see our new model and 
prove this.
