This page is primarily **advertising with one featured article**, not a political cartoon. The main text, "Royal Bad Breaks," recounts anecdotes about **King Charles XV of Sweden**, illustrating his deliberate disregard for court etiquette. The stories depict Charles as intentionally flouting formal ceremony—presenting a decoration while the diplomat ate a sandwich, seating a dignified French envoy on his lap uninvited, and thrusting a lit cigar into a guard's mouth. The piece frames these as harmless eccentricities from a "good-humored royal giant" whose behavior, though shocking, caused no lasting offense due to his lack of malice. For modern readers, this reflects **19th-century attitudes toward aristocratic privilege**: a king's rule-breaking is portrayed as charming rather than disrespectful, and subordinates' indignation is expected to dissolve quickly. The humor derives from the clash between formal protocol and royal whimsy—a dynamic largely obsolete in contemporary society. The remainder of the page consists of period advertisements for products like Kodak cameras, whiskey, brandy, and collars.

Charles XV. of Sweden, brother and prede- cessor of the present king, Oscar, was always intensely bored by the etiquette which con- stantly faced him. Having decided to confer the grand cross of the Order of St. Olaf on the envoy of a friendly power, he selected a halt for refreshments during a long ride as the time for making the presentation. “Approaching the diplomat, who had a sandwich in one hand and a sardine on a fork in the other. the king held out the decoration and said, ‘* Here, this is for you.” He derived a good deal of quiet enjoy- ment from the envoy's confusion, During a bunting-party, taking a fancy to discuss affairs of state with the French envoy, a very small but exceedingly dignified man, the king un- ceremoniously picked him up and seated him on the royal knees. The Frenchman was furi- ous, and made a complaint to the prime mi ister; but his resentment against the good- humored royal giant was short-lived, Charles's eccentricities seldom gave offense, as they were always devoid of malice and never premeditat- ed. One day, looking for the Queen, he asked {ave you seen’ Louise?” On entering the apartments of his mother, and recollecting that she detested the odor of to- bacco, he took the lighted cigar from his li and, not knowing how else to dispose of it, thrust it into the mouth of the guard who was presenting arms.
