What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** with minimal satirical content. The main cartoon—"Forgetfulness"—depicts a domestic scene where a woman asks a man for "a pound of kisses," he responds "What flavor?" and she clarifies "Cocoa"—a pun playing on cocoa candy products. The substantive text piece, "A Criticism of Destiny," is a **social commentary poem** lamenting ordinary manhood. The speaker wishes to be something with institutional value—a science, doctrine, policy, or fund—because wealthy "plutocrats" shower money on such entities. He's invisible as "just an ordinary man." This **critiques Gilded Age inequality**: the wealthy endow abstract concepts and institutions while dismissing individual human needs. The implicit message: late-19th-century capitalism valued capital structures over human dignity. The remainder comprises genuine advertisements (gold mines, springs resort, laces) and light humor.
