What you’re looking at
This page from Leslie's Weekly (June 29, 1905) contains mostly advertisements and brief humorous editorial anecdotes rather than political cartoons. The "Editor Needy" section satirizes rural hardship through exaggerated complaints: a North Dakota newspaper editor claims he'll soon need bread "without a—— thing on" (naked) due to unpaid subscriptions. "A Hustling Mayor" mocks corrupt small-town governance: a West Virginia mayor confiscates money from a drowned Italian suicide victim's body and fines the victim's father for protesting—treating suicide as a punishable crime. "Hadn't Thought of That" is a joke about an absent-minded ex-professor who lost his dentures and hadn't considered he might have swallowed them. The main content is advertisement for the New York Central Railroad's "Where Health and Pleasure Wait" promotional booklet, described as "one of the most beautiful pieces of advertising ever sent out by a railroad company."

A paper from a North Dakota town | contained the following editorial para-| graph: “It is reported that one of the fastidious newly-married ladies of Harvey, | North Dakota, kneads bread with her} gloves on. The incident may be some-| what peculiar, but there are others. The editor of this paper needs bread with his shoes on; he needs bread with his shist! on; he needs bread with his pants on, | and unless some of his delinquent sub- |scribers pay up before long he will need bread without a—— thing on ; and North | Dakota is no garden of Eulen in the winter-time.”. A HUSTLING MAYOR. In a certain West Virginia town is A| mayor who has distinguished himself, An| Italian commitied suicide by drowning A reward of fifty dollars was offered for his body, which was found, Of the one hundred and thirty dollars in the dead man’s pockets the finder received his re- ward, and the mayor confiscated the rest as a fine because the Italian had broken the law by committing suicide, The dead man’s father protested, and the mayor fined him seventeen dollars for contempt of court. HADN'T THOUGHT OF THAT. An ex-Dartmouth professor recently lost his false teeth. They were all right, he declared, when he went to bed, but the next morning they were gone. After an hour's search somehody suggested that he had swallowed * them, Oh, I hadn't thought of looking there,” he replied ab- sent-mindedly, *T'll look there in a mo- ment.” DEFINED.
