What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical pieces reflecting early 20th-century concerns: **"The Way It Goes"** mocks how secrets spread and distort through gossip—a social commentary on rumor mills and information corruption. **"Ten and Costs"** features a legal joke: the Prince of Wales "pours wine" well because he never "reigns but he pours" (a pun on "reigns/rains"). The cartoon suggests aristocratic excess. **"This is Where Good Dogs Go"** is a chaotic street scene satirizing urban conditions—overcrowding, vice, and disorder. Signs reference various social problems and vices, suggesting cities are morally corrupt "dumping grounds." **"Hopeless"** depicts horses discussing labor strikes, with one noting they'd simply be replaced by automobiles—commenting on workers' powerlessness against technological replacement and mechanization. **"Scale-Like"** and other brief pieces offer domestic humor about everyday observations. Overall, the page reflects Progressive Era anxieties about modernization, urbanization, labor displacement, and social corruption masked by humor.

It is just alittle way a secret has; it is like money —it doesn't seem to do us any good unless we can circulate it. HOPELESS. First horse — “We're ill treated. The government is run in the interest ” of the men, But 1 suppose there is no use to strike.” Second horse— “No; if we were to strike they'd simply ship in a lot of au- tomobiles.” SCALE-LIKE. ey AuMas exclaimed Nan as the family grocer left a turkey on the kitchen table, * the turkey's legs are shingled clear up to the meat.” WHEN aman begins to compare a girl to a baby or a kitten she knows what is . coming next.
