What you’re looking at
This page contains several brief humorous sketches typical of early-20th-century satirical magazines, plus advertisements. **"Deposed"** depicts a child's loss of Christmas primacy after a baby sibling arrives. The older child complains that he once *was* Christmas ("it" at Christmas), but now parents distribute gifts equally and constantly tell him to share and be gentle with the baby. The satire targets parental behavior and sibling jealousy. **Other sketches** include lighthearted domestic humor: "A Simile" about brotherly love, "A Bear Story" (a traditional joke setup), "The First Thing" (a woman marrying for housekeeping advice), and "A Latter Day Jack Horner" (a man who sold wheat before it rose in value, now poor). These are apolitical, character-driven jokes. **"A Helping Hand"** shows a lecturer claiming no one present has prevented forest destruction; a man admits to shooting woodpeckers—a darkly ironic "contribution." The page is primarily **humorous fiction and advertising** (calendars, Hotel Normandie) rather than political satire or caricature.
