Funny Side Of Dying often Treated or in
Literature.


Funny Side Of Dying often Treated or in
Literature.
Death" said a publisher, "has been
treated humorously in our literature
often. Indeed. | am quite sure that a
collection of many thick volumes might
be made under the title of Deaths
Funny Side A New Yorker is bring
ing out book of quotations on death
as a joke, and this viii be- l fancy, the
first volume Of its kind to appear In
the world. The quotations In IT are
clever in hard, rough way. Here is
one Of them:
Billy, in one Of his nice new sashes,
Fell in tho fir, and vas burnt to ashes;
Now, although the room grows chilly,
/ haven't the heart to poke poor Billy
Another runs;
In the drinking well
(which the plumber built here)
Aunt Eliza fell
We must buy a filter
"And one not at all bad is: &
Making toast at the fseside,
Nurse fell in the crate and died;
And, what makes it ten times worse,
All the toast was burned with nurse
Thomas Hood" the publisher went
on. twas one Of our best writer's of
this sort of verse. Don't you remem-
Der his ballad on the young sailor who
died heartbroken over his girls un-
faith? The last stanza was:
His death, which happened in his berth,
Al fortv-odd hefell.
They went and told the sexton, and
The sexton tolled the bell
Hood did another ballad on the sub
sect of a soldier who lost both legs in
battle. who was. In consequence Tilted
by his sweetheart, and who then hung
himself. Now. that is rather tragic. is
IT not? 1t has a bizarre. but none the
less poignant, tragic note. Guy de
Maupassant, indeed once handled it
from the opposite viewpoint. and don't
you remember how he narrated the
first. the crucial. meeting of the lovers
after Ben Battles double amputation?
" But when he called on Nellie Gray
She made him quite q scoh;
And, when she saw his wooden legs,
Began to take them Off
" so round his melancholy neck
a rope he did entwine,
And for the second time in life
Enlisted in the line.
And there he hung till he was dead
As any nail in town;
For, though despair had cut him up,
It could not cut him down
There is a tremendous literature OF
humorous sketches. There must be, l
fancy. 10000 Of these. but two of them
are all can recall. The first goes:
Here lies the body Of mild Maria,
She went, one day, TO start the FIRE,
But the wood was green,
SO she used kerosene.
And now she's where the fuel is drier.'
''rhe other is grimmer:
Life is a lie, and all things show it.
l thought so once, and now / know it,
Then there are songs on the side
splitting aspects of death, some of
which have caused tender-hearted la
dies to double up with mirth Johnny
Jones and His Sister Sue is one such
song, and l bet that six people out of
ten in America know 1t by heart
Yes" the publisher concluded. "un.

mccormick New Big-4 Mower.

The accompanying illustration shows the Mccormick New Big
4 mower which is designated for agricutunsts who grow grass ex-
tensively. The construction of this machine is the same as that OF
the Mccormick New 4 mower, with the essential parts proportion
ately larger and stronger. The bevel gear on this machine, as on
all Mccormick mowers, is very accurately made and bored, which
insures an easy running and almost noiseless machine. The spur
pinion and hevel gear are separate parts, the machine being
thrown in and out Of gear by means of sliding clutch mounted
on the c~ountershaft, and having four malleable pins which are SHIFT
ed to engage the ratchets of the spur pinion when the machine is TO
be started. The shipper handle controls the clutch and is operat
ed by the foot of the driver. Immediate cutting action is impaired
to the machine when it is thrown in gear, as the movement OF the
shipper handle causes the clutch pins to instantly engage the
ratchets. A or 4 foot cutter bar is supplied with this mower,
which in agiven time will go over with a mnch larger area than
can be gone over with a smaller machine.

Binder

DEALER nv

There is a steadily increasing demand for a binder having a
wider cut than the ordinary machine, and the Mccormick wide
cut binder is specially designated to meet this demand. The side
draft is greatly reduced by means OF the two-wheel
tongue truck with which this machine is equipped, the steady and
smooth motion ofthe binder relieving both the machine and team
of any undue strain. Corners are turned easily, for the tongue
does not lash the horses. The new reel support is an exclusive
feature on the Mccormick 8 foot binder. No matter how short the
grain and how close it is necessary to bring the reel to the cutter
bar, this reel support holds it firmly to its work at all times. This
machine is mounted on the transport the same as regular binder,
the tongue being fastened to the mderside of the platform with
spring catches, while the castor wheels run on the ground, The
two-wheel tongue truck, which is built especially for the McCor-
mick wide-cut binder and which is included in the price OF same
can be.used on any regular Mccormick binder, and will be suppl
ed for such machines on special order at a special price.
