RURALISMS 
There was a man who fancied that by 
driving good and fast 
He’d get his car across the track before 
the train came past; 
He’d miss the engine Ly an inch, and 
make the train hands sore. 
There was a man who fancied this; 
there isn’t any moi-e. 
—Railway Conductor. 
“Remkmber this, my son; if you want 
to make a hit you must strike out for 
yourself.” “You’re mixed in your base¬ 
ball talk, pa; if you strike out 3 'ou can’t 
make a hit.”—Boston Transcript.

ders.”—New York Times. 
“I TELi, j’ou,” said Pat, “the ould fr’ind 
is the best, after all, and, what’s more, I 
can prove it.” “How are you goin’ to 
prove it?” “Where will you find a new 
fr’ind that has shtud by j'e as long as 
the ould ones Lave?”—Last Word. 
“Do you like j’our new motor car?” 
“Yes,” replied Mrs. Chuggins. “My hus¬

spend his time?” “Trying get the car 
started.”—Washington Star. 
“You sell garden seeds, do you not?” 
“Yes, sir. What kind do you want?”

that will make my neighbors’ chickens 
awful sick when they dig them up and 
eat them.”—Credit Lost. 
A NEW recruit was on sentry duty for 
the first time at night, when he saw some¬ 
thing approaching. “Who comes there?” 
he challenged sharply. “The officer of 
the day,” said the other. “Then,” was 
the sentry’s unexpected inquiry, “what 
are you doin’ out at night?”—Toronto 
Sun. 
A TRAVELER in the d»ning car of a 
Georgia railroad had ordered fried eggs 
for breakfast. ‘ Can’t give j’o’ fried aigs, 
boss,” the negro waiter informed him, 
“lessen yo’ want to Avait till we stops.” 
“Why, hoAV is that?” “Well, de cook he 
says de road’s so rough dat ebery time he 
tries to fry aigs dey scrambles.”—Idfe. 
Robust Old Gentleman (to sick 
woman just arriA'ed at health resort) : 
“When I first came here I hadn’t strength 
to utter a Avord; I had scarcely a hair on 
my head; I couldn’t Avalk across the 
room, and I had to be lifted from my 
bed.” Sick Woman: “You give me 
great hope. Hoav Avere you cured?” Ro¬ 
bust Old Gentleman : “I was born here.” 
—Chicago Herald.

for buckAvheat cakes. One morning his 
grandfather, Avho Avas Avatching him, 
asked: “HaA'e you eA-er in all your life 
had all the buckwheat cakes that j’ou | 
could eat?” “Yes, sir,” replied the boy. 
“Lots of times I’ve felt I’ve had enough.” 
“How do you tell Avheu you haA'e had 
enough?” “I just keep on eating until I 
get a pain, and then I eat one more to 
make sure.”—Christian Register. 
For nearly two hours she inspected 
linoleums. Roll after roll the clerk 
brought out, but still she Avas dissatisfied. 
At last he paused in despair. “I’m sorry, 
madam,” he said, “but if you can Avait I 
can get more from the factorj’. Perhaps 
you Avill call in again.” The prospective 
customer rose. “Yes, do,” she said gra¬ 
ciously, “and ask for one or tAA'O Avith 
very small designs, suitable for putting in 
the bottom of a canary’s cage.”—
