What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a humorous **almanac** spoofing weather forecasts and practical advice for September. The satire includes: **Weather Predictions**: Mock "prognostications" reference "heavy frosts in states holding September elections"—a political jab suggesting electoral competition creates a chilling effect. **Seasonal Humor**: Poems and maxims ridicule typical September occurrences: summer romance ending ("the lovely summer girl...takes a stain back to town"), financial strain from accumulated bills, school resuming, and hunting season. **The Cartoon**: Features a woman in a heart-shaped frame with the caption "KIND WORDS NEVER DIE," illustrating romantic disappointment—thematically connected to the issue's emphasis on summer romance fading. **Tone**: Lighthearted social commentary on middle-class American life—financial anxiety, romantic transience, and the predictable cycle of seasons. No specific political figures are caricatured; rather, Judge mocks universal social experiences and class anxieties of the era.

WE ARE glad toinform our consumers that the prophesied fail- ure of the September day-crop has proven false, and we are therefore able to give full measure as we promised to do at the There may be a few blow-holes in some of the above, but on the whole they are as fine a selection of Septem- ber days as has ever come out of our shop. Owing to the weather conditions in September we cannot guar- antee the sunny qualities of these dates, but all subscribers sending beginning of the year. us a certified check for fifteen dollars before the first will be provided with a fine imported mackintosh worth not less than four dollars, which used in connec- tion with our calendar will insure im- munity from rain. Clerks and others desiring an extra holiday during September are hereby notified that September third is the an- niversary of the death of Oliver Crom- well, a representation of which fact to their employers may enable them to get a full Saturday off instead of a half. Almost any of the above dates will be found useful for those who desire to pay their last Christmas bills, though those who have no money in the bank are warned not to draw checks against their account on the thirteenth. Owing to the enormous success of our this year’s August dates we have in- cluded in the above a large number made after the same pattern, though we beg to assure our consumers that they are none of them left-overs, but are all strictly fresh. Should any of the above dates prove dry and dusty they can be restored to freshness by a persistent sprinkling with a garden hose. We regret that we could not give more dates this month.

Hotel and boarding-house keepers in the country districts will do well about now to keep a careful eye upon all trunks and other luggage brought by unknown guests into their houses, carefully removing all bricks and gravel therefrom; and all windows within jumping distance from the ground should be barred. The season has been rife with cut-worms and flying moths and serious loss may be the penalty of a failure to observe this suggestion. Summer engagements to last through until October must be carefully nursed about this time. Frequent applications of marshmallow and a steady diet of chocolate creams, taken internally, are recommended to restore a fainting en- gagement to its pristine vigor.

For the first few days of school, children should be carefully dressed. It is recommended that the little boys, especially, should be supplied with re- enforced trousers to prevent them from injuries superinduced by the cold snap which may lower the school temperature at any moment. comicbooks.com
