What you’re looking at

This page contains brief humorous anecdotes and a substantial letter, but **no visible political cartoon**. The main content is a letter from a Wisconsin resident to Postmaster-General William F. Vilas, commenting on recently published "combination portraits" of Vilas in newspapers. The writer satirizes the practice of newspapers using interchangeable facial features and components (different hair styles, eyes, noses) to create multiple images of public figures from a single base illustration—a cost-saving measure in printing. The satire's point: newspapers were lazily recycling composite features rather than commissioning original portraits, and this reflected poorly on the dignity of prominent officials like Vilas. The shorter anecdotes above ("Hoggish as Usual," "She Called it Cream") are unrelated joke pieces with no political content. The remainder of the page is **advertisements** for perfumes, cologne, bicycles, furniture, and patent medicines.
