What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, with small humorous anecdotes scattered between commercial announcements for alcoholic beverages (whiskey, champagne, bitters, and beer). The notable content includes: **"History at District School"** — A children's joke where students give absurdly literal answers to history questions. When asked why Washington crossed the Delaware, one child answers "becuz he couldn't go under it" (misunderstanding "crossed"). The humor relies on innocent misinterpretation of language. **"Straight from the Shoulder"** — A brief romantic comedy where a woman proposes a "leap-year proposal" (referencing the custom where women could propose in leap years), but the man deflects by claiming he can't afford marriage. The dominant feature is a large **Budweiser advertisement** celebrating "The Mighty Workers of America" — positioning the beer as the patriotic drink of industrial laborers and craftsmen. This reflects early 1900s marketing that associated beer consumption with American strength and national pride. The page serves primarily as a vehicle for product advertising rather than political satire.

HISTORY AT DISTRICT SCHOOL. The new teacher glanced smilingly over the school, and was delighted to see so many bright young faces among her new charges, says Harper's Weekly. “Now, children,” she said, opening her history book, ‘‘we will run over our| history, so that I may find out what you| know. Willie Perkins, you may tell me why W: shington crossed over the Dela- ‘Ahum—er—why, now—er—ahum,"” began Willie; ‘‘why, becuz” “Because what, dear?” asked the teacher. Becuz he couldn’t go under it,"” said Willie. “Dear me, Willie! What an_an-| swer!”’ ejaculated the teacher. ‘Polly Hicks, you look like a bright little girl. Why did the father of his country cross the Delaware?” “Pleathe, mim," replied Polly, ‘I gueth it wath becuth the Hudthon wath too far away for him to croth that." “Mercy !"" cried the teacher. ‘Really, |you will all have to stay in this after- noon and study your history. I will now test you on arithmetic.

Tommy, you may take the question. Three bananas among three boys—that would be one banana apiece for each boy. Now, three bananas among seventeen boys would be what?” | “Three bananas, mim," answered Tommy. “I know; but three into seventeen — said the teacher. je, speaking up teen boys once and none ove Tommy confidently.

A fastidiously dressed lady appeared at the window, holding out a perf gloved hand, “I should like one, too, pleas she. “One what, madam?’ The lady flushed and comical. ““Why,”’ she stammered, ‘“‘what the other ladies had !"" asked the teller, began to look TOUGH, THIS BEING A DOG.
