What you’re looking at
This page is **primarily advertisements** with minimal editorial content. The satirical pieces are brief anecdotes rather than cartoons. The main humor appears in two short jokes: 1. **"Wife's Question"** (top right): A domestic comedy about a husband who, after praising a new garment-repair service, is shown attaching his own pants to suspenders with a safety pin—undermining his endorsement through obvious hypocrisy. The joke satirizes male incompetence at domestic tasks. 2. **"James G. Blaine anecdote"** (center): References the prominent politician/statesman living in Washington D.C., joking about his refusal to modernize his old house. Blaine's quip about "Queen Anne at the front and Mary Anne at the back" is a pun on architectural styles versus female names—mild Victorian wordplay. The remainder consists entirely of **period product advertisements**: fountain pens, clothing, railroads, wine, jams, and medical devices (rupture trusses). No political cartoons are present on this page.

SONS Wife— What is this mending and repairing com- pany that is advertised in the papers, John?” {Yusband “It is a company that has been’ formed to mect a long-felt want. Garments in need of repair and buttons and things are taken in and fixed for a small sum.” Wife—"A good thing for bachelors, I should say.” Husband—"Xnd for married men, too, my dear ; for married men, too.” Then, after attaching his panta- loons to his suspender with a safety-pin, he went out on the stoop to see what kind of a night it was.—Boston Courier, he Hon. James G. Blaine lives in the old Seward residence on Lafayette square. It is a house of the old style, square and plain, of red brick, sobered into an indefinite tint by age, and most éomfort- able withal. The old house has little in common with the many structures of florid style whose turrets and gabled roofs rise behind the trees near at hand. The other night sta reception a lady with rare and most laudable taste complimented Mr. Blaine upon his ab- staining from the practice—common in Washington as elsewhere —of grafting new architecture upon old. “The house as it is is goo.. enough for me,” Mr. Blaine replied. “We did not remodel it because we have no desire to have, as the boy said, Queen Anne at the front and Mary Ante at the back.” Pitsburg Dispatch. As everybody kno As Peter sat at heaven's gate, A maiden sought permission, And begged of him, if not too late, To give her free admission. “What claim have you to enter here?” int hope and fear, “T'm only just sixteen. “Enough,” the hoary guardian said, And the gate wide open threw ; “That is the age when every maid Is girl and angel too.” —Detroit Free Press.
