What you’re looking at

This page contains several unrelated satirical pieces typical of late 19th-century American humor: **"Working His End of It"** mocks a Pennsylvania legislator's son who uses a nail-brush backwards to clean his teeth—the joke being his father (the politician) uses the other end, implying corruption or dirty dealing. **"That Tired Feeling"** is a brief exchange where characters discuss pneumatic tires, with one noting humorously that anything "new in de tired line" shouldn't surprise anyone anymore (society is already exhausted). **"All Saints' Day"** is sentimental poetry about summer's end and lost friendship. **"Uncle Tootle's Last Foot-Ball Match"** depicts a chaotic football game in comic strip format, with exaggerated physical comedy. **"Answers to the Autumn Poet"** sarcastically responds to conventional autumn poetry observations, essentially mocking predictable seasonal verse. **"The Boston Baby Again"** ridicules overly-formal speech when a child complains a vending machine took his money without dispensing candy. The page primarily offers light social satire and physical comedy rather than sharp political commentary.

JOHNNY was a page in the legislature of Pennsylvania; his father represented one of the rural districts of the state. The boy was brushing his teeth with a nail- brush, one morning, when Miss Jones, a boarder in the house where Johnny and his father were, spied him. “That's not for your teeth,” she exclaimed. “Why do you not use the other end of the brush ?” With his mouth full of soap-bubbles, and soap-bubbles running down the ivory handle of the brush he held in his hand, the boy inno- cently replied, “That end is pop’s !” 2.
