Harper Rye Whiskey**: touting awards and "Kentucky hospitality" - **Evans' Ale**: a simple drink advertisement - **The Prudential Insurance Company**: showcasing 30 years of business success with statistics - **New York Central Lines**: railroad advertising The humor pieces are brief, lightweight jokes: - A domestic comedy about a woman feeling safe with her boyfriend in the dark - "The Theatrical Problem": a satirical piece (written in Shakespearean style) mocking theater producers' financial anxieties about funding touring shows - "He Forgot": an anecdote about an absent-minded man who visits a doctor but forgets his actual errand (his wife is having a fit) - "Taking Him Down": wordplay about theater criticism The page reflects early 1900s American consumer culture with no evident political satire—primarily lifestyle and commercial content.

Hammer the Hammer Aooldental Discharge Impossible Every owner of an Iver Johnson has a double feeling of safety—safety as to protection of life and property, and abso- lute safety as to accidental discharge; for there is but one way to discharge the IVER JOHNSON ittmmnc REVOLVER and that is to pull the trigger. In addition to the safety features of the Iver Johnson is the knowledge of abso. lute reliability and accuracy and depend. able quality.

To tour—to| pay— To pay—aye, there's the rub! that tour | We'll have to sink a lot of good real money ; | And sometimes riches of the angel kind | Take to themselves swift wings and fly For in away, And angels of the kind that actors need | So sorely in their business grow not on the trees In bunches ; rather do they soar above, Eluding the enticing traps of cunning | Stars, And madden managers, and actors, too, With sights of the Elysium, where they dwell, Whose floors are paved with money we would get. That's the respect that holds back star- ring tours— The lack of backing with another's cash, And then the one-night stands, the jump to trains, The rural papers, with their «sticks ” of | rot; The rural critic, with his fierce desire To crush the actors with his fiercest “roast.” The deadly fare, the nightly slim re- ceipts, The constant fear of «closing ” up too soon, | And coming back a thing to laugh to| scorn | By other stars who either acted wise Or took the chances and with “ made good.” That's the dread uncertainty of it all, That in these days of growling first-night dogs To try it on, and business not a cinch, Must give us pause ! —Baltimore American. HE FORGOT, The champion absent-minded man lives at Balham. On one occasion he called upon his old friend, the family physician, After a chat of a couple of hours the doctor saw him to the door and bade him good-night, saying, «Come again, Family all well, I suppose 2” «My heavens !" exclaimed the absent- minded beggar, “ that reminds me of my errand, My wife is in a fit !"—Pic-me up. luck TAKING HIM DOWN. “Crittick was pleased to say that my play had few equals as a bit of realism,” remarked young De Riter. “He said even more than that," Pepprey. “Indeed 2” Yes," he added ; “and positively no inferiors."—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
