What you’re looking at
This page contains theatrical and entertainment commentary rather than political satire. The main illustration shows two people horseback riding, captioned with a joke about someone named Scribbler receiving $50,000 for "just one joke" while Miss Cottapple loved him "for himself alone"—a commentary on wealth disparities in entertainment. The text discusses theatrical productions and performers of the season, including references to comic operas and various theatrical productions. There's a section called "The Modern Jack Horner" (likely a nursery rhyme reference) and commentary on theatrical tidbits featuring performers like Larrabee Smyth and George Dale. The bottom section includes a small comic labeled "HOME-SICK" and a joke about becoming a United States senator. This appears to be general entertainment and theatrical gossip rather than political commentary.

The chorus was large, and there was also one new joke. Theodore Screamer's latest melodrama, « The Crime of Crimes,” is especially recommended to bald-headed men. It is said to be a hair-raiser. Walke R. Tyes, who last season played the title-réle in “ The Courtly King,” will appear this season .in the name part of « A Typ- ical Tramp.” Mr. Tyes is considered an exceedingly versatile player. One of the early offerings of the season will be entitled * The Cal- endar.” The announcement is made that all the features will be thoroughly up to date. Flossie Lightoe, the clever and vivacious soubrette, will be seen this season at the head of a specially-selected company in an elaborate production of Birds, Bottles and Bouquets.” “The Bad Cigar” closed its season recently. or other it did not draw well.

Place the butter in a tub of warm water and mix until about the consist- ency of corn-meal mush, then stand in a cool place. In this way five pounds of water can easily be mingled with fifty pounds of butter in such a way that it will bring practically the same price as the butter, With water at the present price, there ought to be money in this scheme for some bright, hustling man not afraid of work. Those who are already in the business are said to be doing well. EASY. Wyld—" How can one make the most of his opportunities ?” Dyer—* Become a United States senator."
