What you’re looking at
This cartoon depicts a street scene with a vendor selling what appears to be poultry or game birds. The caption "UNFAMILIAR WITH THE BIRD" suggests the humor involves someone unfamiliar with a particular type of fowl or perhaps unfamiliar with a slang term. The dialogue references "diamond-backs" (likely rattlesnakes) and "plain backs," implying confusion about what animal is being sold. This appears to be social satire about urban-rural cultural differences—possibly mocking city dwellers unfamiliar with country provisions or rural commerce. The specific bird or reference remains unclear without additional historical context, but the cartoon satirizes ignorance about common goods or terminology among certain social classes or regional groups in early 20th-century America.

HEY SAY that “Arthur Rothschild, son of the famous banker, has sold his splendid collection of postage-stamps for sixty thousand dollars.” We don’t know whether the statement is intended to be a lie; but if there is a fool big enough to make such a collection there ought to be a fool big enough to buy it. THE EXISTING REVELATION. ERIOD of divine revelation for the church of the Mormons has gone by. That has been officially announced, and now the church must carry itself in accorda ions and laws that exist on earth. This ought to mean that polygamy will be promptly abandoned ; but the church was built on that foundation, and without it there would be no Mormon church at all, Utah would like to become a state. Before it is given that honor it must be established that polygamy has passed out of the faith of its people as well as out of their practice. H HOW MANY STARS?

THE TOWN of Egerton, in Kansas, has been carried by women, It has elected women for mayor, justice, members of the common council, ete. A main question was as to whether there should be screens in bar-rooms, the women holding that if men would drink they should be made to drink in the full view of passers- by. Perhaps they will now hold that the bar shall be the dry-goods boxes outside the bar-rooms, and that each drink shall be taken with the accom- paniment of a public. speech and the flaunting of a small flag by the left hand during the process of imbibation; and when that great principle of formality is established it may be in order for both women and men to dine in an equally public manner and to slow music by the little German band. But, however far this experiment may go, Miss Anthony and her followers can congratulate themselves on the rapid progress of their cause during the past twenty years. In several eastern states women vote for school ed on school boards. In several western states they vote on general questions and serve on juries. Where one woman had the right to carn a living twenty years ago a thousand women have the right now. Girls and women are behind every counter—in some cases are even behind the bar, more’s the pity !—and the typewriter and the raph give them opportunity for better lives and more money than they have had before. All this the agitators for women’s rights have brought about, and the signs are propitious for greater things yet. Moreover the right of the ballot signities the right of office. We may yet be governed to alarge extent by women, and in that event the screens will be removed from a large number of windows that have had the light only from the inside these many, many years. The world used to laugh at the agitators. ‘The time has come to give them cheers, and the prestige of their many little successes may point the way to the general triumph, Shall we be the better for it? Well, we shall best know when we most find out, Do you’ want diamond-backs?”” Jist phlain backs, We want thim to ate, commissioners and are ele: comicbooks.com
