This brief comic anecdote satirizes extreme politeness taken to absurd extremes. Two men collide violently on the street, but rather than determine fault, the "polite man" apologizes preemptively for either possibility—then immediately flees without resolution. The joke mocks people who prioritize superficial politeness over genuine interaction or accountability. The punchline is that his hasty departure undercuts his elaborate courtesy, suggesting such politeness is performative rather than sincere. The page is primarily **advertisements** for period products (liqueurs, trade schools, cigarettes, remedies for venereal disease, building plans), with several brief humor pieces scattered between them. "Cinched" jokes about political corruption; "Feline Amenities" presents mild cat humor. No major political figures are identified or caricatured on this page.

He was hurrying along the street the other night, when another man, also in| violent haste, rushed out of a doorway, and the two collided with great force. The second man looked mad, while the polite man, taking off his hat, said, My dear sir, I don't know which of| us is to blame for this violent encounter, but I am in too great a hurry to investi- gate. If I ran into you, I beg your par- don; if you ran into me, don't men- tion it.” And he tore away with speed.— Chicago Journal.
