This page is primarily **advertising** but contains one small cartoon with a domestic joke. The cartoon titled "Both Henpecked" depicts two married couples discussing another couple's recent divorce. One wife asks what caused the split. The punchline: the husband was obsessed with gardening while the wife insisted on keeping chickens—implying they divorced over incompatible hobbies and household priorities. The "henpecked" reference is a double pun: it literally refers to the wife keeping chickens (hens), while "henpecked" was a common period term for men dominated by their wives. The humor relies on the idea that both spouses were equally stubborn and controlling ("both henpecked"), making their marriage untenable. The joke reflects early 1900s domestic comedy tropes about marital conflict over household management and personal interests, presented as lighthearted rather than serious commentary.
