What you’re looking at
This page contains several distinct elements: **Main Political Cartoon ("A Modern Fable"):** Satirizes President Hadley's visit to a Bridgeport school, where he asked a boy about Esau. The boy's reply—that Esau wrote fables and sold the copyright for "a bottle of potash"—is nonsensical, mocking the absurdity of the interaction or perhaps the boy's education. **"The Last Laugh":** A brief political anecdote about House Democrats celebrating a district victory. A Democratic representative makes a parliamentary inquiry, prompting Uncle Joe (likely Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker) to deliver a quip about "he who laughs last, laughs best," earning applause from both parties. **Lower Cartoon:** A surreal illustration of a fishing reel, captioned as the "dream of the angler who lost a ten-pounder because he didn't reel in fast enough"—a humorous take on fishing failure. **Remaining Content:** College humor pieces ("Cap and Gown Smiles"), vintage advertisements (Karo corn syrup, Allen's Foot-Ease), and miscellaneous jokes typical of early 1900s college magazines. The page mixes political satire with light collegiate humor and advertising.
