**The Main Cartoon:** "The Man They Left in New York" satirizes wealthy New York families who abandon the city for summer resorts. While relatives vacation in Newport, Atlantic City, the mountains, and Niagara Falls, the father alone remains "summering in town" on Wall Street, stuck with work while his family enjoys leisure. The joke mocks both the predictable migration patterns of the wealthy and the father's sacrifice to his business obligations. **The Sidebar Content:** "New York Notes" offers satirical quips about New York exceptionalism—mocking the city's boastfulness about skyscrapers, theaters, and modern amenities (ambulances, bathtubs) while poking fun at New Yorkers' arrogance and marital distrust. The unnamed baseball players listed (Wagner, Cobb, Snodgrass, etc.) suggest contemporary sports references, likely about New York teams. **Overall Point:** The page ridicules both the leisure habits of wealthy New Yorkers and their provincial pride in their city.

T IS claimed there are several bath- tubs in the United States outside of New York, It is not generally believed that New York, because of its skyscrapers, is nearer heaven than are other cities.
