This page consists primarily of **humorous short pieces and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The main satire centers on social norms of the era: 1. **"To a Summer Shirt-Waist"** — A poem poking fun at fashionable women's clothing that reveals more than Victorian propriety typically allowed, particularly the peek-a-boo shirt-waist style popular in the early 1900s. 2. **"Why Captain Smoke Blushed"** — Ridicules a military instructor at Yale who unconsciously makes a double-entendre when lecturing female students about proper stance ("little finger opposite the seam of the trousers"). 3. **"Out of the Mouths of Babes"** — Children's accidental wisecracks, a recurring humor format. The remaining content is **advertisements** for period products (Evans Ale, Glenn's Sulphur Soap, Postum Coffee) and commercial services. The Sohmer Pianos advertisement features a manufacturer's sales pitch about quality cigars, unrelated to pianos. The page reflects early-1900s middle-class anxieties about propriety, gender roles, and consumer culture.

TO A SUMMER SHIRT-WAIST. Oh, peek-a-boo, We all love you— Of summer you're a chief attraction ; You half reveal And half conceal The curves that drive us to distraction. Your meshes wide But partly hide Your jaunty set Makes us regret You yield a view Of ribbons blue Or else they're pink, But scarce, I think, Yet where's the harm ? They do but charm And help to drive us to distraction. Oh, peek-a-boo, We all love you - You are the summer's chief attraction ! | —Louisville Courier-Journal. | | | OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES.

Only a handful of men were pres- ent. The captain has explained these wings to his Yale boys so often that now he repeats them glibly without thinking of what he's saying. “In standing at attention,” said he, quoting the words of the manual, «let the arms and hands hang naturally by the sides, with the little finger opposite the seam of the trousers.” Tittering caused Captain Smoke to re- member and blush.

A clergyman who pursues his noble calling ina country parish in Iowa, tells of his coffee experience : “ My wife and I used coffee regularly for breakfast, frequently for dinner and occasionally for supper—always the very best quality—package coffee never could find a place on our table. “In the spring of 1896 my wife was taken with violent vomiting, which we had great difficulty in stopping. “It seemed to come from coffee drink- ing, but we could not decide. “In the following July, however, she was attacked a second time by the vom- iting. I was away from home filling an appointment, at the time, and on my re- turn I found her very low; she had liter- ally vomited herself almost to death, and it took some days to quiet the trouble and restore her stomach, “Thad also experienced the same trou- ble, but not so violently, and had relieved it, each time, by a resort to medicine. « But my wife’s second attack satisfied me that the use of coffee was at the bot- tom of our troubles, and so we stopped it forthwith and took on Postum Food Coffee. The old symptoms of disease dis- appeared, and during the nine years that we have been using Postum instead of coffee we have never had a recurrence of the vomiting. We never weary of Postum, to which we know we owe our goo health. This is a simple statement of facts." Name given by Postum Com- pany, Battle Creek, Mich.
