This cartoon depicts a farmer confronting an automobile driver after the car has hit the farmer's dog. The caption reads: "Farmer Hornbeam—'Josh Hayroke is awfully down on automobiles. One on 'em run over his prize dog last night.'" The punchline response is: "Farmer Hornbeam—'Nope; never hurted her a gold-digged particle.'" **The satire**: This mocks rural resentment toward automobiles in the early automotive era. The joke plays on the farmer's unexpected indifference—the dog wasn't valuable (not a "gold-digger"), so he bears no grudge. It reflects contemporary tensions between rural and urban/modern lifestyles, with farmers stereotypically portrayed as curmudgeonly about new technology, yet ultimately pragmatic rather than principled in their opposition.

Before he had begun the story an English magazine paid him ten thousand dollars to secure the right of its serial publication; but now the publishers want their money back, on the ground that they are “unable to publish” some of the installments. They have stopped running“ The Eternal City,” and have brought suit against the author to recover for damages. Mean- while its serial publication here goes on merrily, the New York publishers having as yet, apparently, struck nothing that feazes them. But most peo- ple hereabouts have found the thing impossible to read—on account of its crass dullness. Now they will be roused to push desperately on, and the book may turn out “the novel of the year.” THE CAPILLARY MIDWAY. ROFESSOR FREDERICK STARR, a “noted anthropologist” of the University of Chicago, recently spake unto his class, saying: “ Parting the hair in the middle, the new shirt-waist for men, and tattooing the person, are evidences of the alarming and growing degeneracy of our modern civilization. No normal person will indulge in any of these hab- its." Much as JUDGE is averse to dispute with the learned Chicago an- thropoid, we must say, in regard to the first clause of his proposition, that our own observation of the facts in the case does not by any means lead to his conclusion. In the first place, Nature herself parts a man’s hair in the middle for him, willy-nilly, as soon as the thatch begins to thin out. ‘The thinner it grows the more it is parted in the middle, until finally the “parting” yawns over the whole top of the head. As for those who have plenty of hair, we can say that nearly all the pugil- ists and football men with whom we happen to be personally acquainted part it in a dead-centre line, and even some edit- ors have been known to do so, Besides, now that the girls generally have adopted the fashion of dividing their luxuriant tresses on the side, in ad- dition to affecting mas- culine clothes, hats and neckwear, and riding astride on horseback, a man simply is driven to ! parting his hair in the * middle, in order to make some distinction of sex. “FOR EXCHANGE.” “ JUDGE'S" SWAPPING DEPARTMENT, zX yqT ypewriter, (business 1 eXchange Machine for gold Pen, D—n! zd Chauffeur would like to exchange an Automobile (somewhat damaged from collision with cable-car, and subsequent explosion) for a serviceable pair of walking-shoes and a crutch-cane.
