What you’re looking at
This page contains multiple satirical pieces typical of early 20th-century American humor: **"The Hunters and the Game Warden"** mocks poor sportsmanship and legal consequences. Two hunters compete; the skilled one brags about his twenty-three birds while mocking his companion's empty bag. A game warden arrives and fines the successful hunter for killing birds during closed season—the moral: boasting about illegal game proves costly. **"Under the Sea"** is a brief joke about marriage and infidelity. **"A Fatal Kick"** uses racial stereotypes common to the era, depicting African American characters in dialect humor involving a mule accident. **"As a Last Resort"** satirizes the golf industry's land acquisition, suggesting farmers might need to live underground if golfers buy all available land. **"One of Our Growing Industries"** depicts a pie factory tour, likely satirizing American manufacturing or food production practices of the period.
