What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and humor columns** rather than political cartoons. The content includes: **Advertisements:** - Hunter Baltimore Rye whiskey (top left) - Velvet tobacco (center) - Sunny Brook Pure Whiskey (bottom) - Leslie's Weekly classified service **Humor Columns (right side):** The "Shear Steal" section contains brief jokes and anecdotes typical of early 20th-century periodicals. These are gentle, non-political items: a touching tribute to an inarticulate but kind-hearted friend; literary misunderstandings; marriage/health advice humor; and jokes about children discovering circuses or employees proving unqualified. **Context for modern readers:** The page reflects pre-Prohibition attitudes toward alcohol advertising in mainstream publications, and the humor reflects period values—emphasis on social propriety, gender roles, and class distinctions. The jokes assume familiarity with contemporary publications like *The Modern Mother's Magazine*. This appears to be a filler/advertising page rather than satirical political content.

PURE Whiskey Properly used, the Best and Most Healthful (onic known Accept no Substitute He never got the hang of art, But there was sunshine in his heart. He could not read a single note, But laughter rippled from his throat. He could not write a single line, But oh, his friendship was divine. But somehow all folks understand An open heart, an open hand. And after he was gone away The folks who knew him used to say, “How lovely he left every place Wearing the glory of his face.”’ —St. Paul Dispatch. Ever Read It?—She was very literary, and he was not. He had spent a harrowing evening discussing authors of whom he knew nothing, and their books, of which he knew less. Presently the maiden asked archly “Of course, you've read ‘Romeo and’ Juliet?’ "” He floundered helplessly for a mo- ment and then, having a_ brilliant thought, blurted out, happily, “I've—I've read Romeo!"’—Philadel- phia Times. Ten Dollars, Please.—It was at a re- ception and the lady, who had been read- ing up on health culture, mistook Lawyer Williams for his brother, the doctor. “Is it better,’? she asked confiden- tially, ‘to lie on the right side or the left?” “‘Madam,’’ replied the lawyer, “if one is on the right side it often isn’t necessary to lie at all.’’—Success. Johnny’s View.—A child of strict par- ents, whose greatest joy had hitherto been the weekly prayer meeting, was taken by its nurse to the circus for the first time. When he came home he ex- claimed, “Oh, mamma, if you once went to the circus you'd never, never go to prayer meeting again in all your life.’’—Tit- Bits. Advice to Mothers—Nurse Girl—‘‘Oh, ma’am, what shall I do? The twins have fallen down the well!'’ Fond Parent—‘‘Dear me! how annoy- ing! Just go into the library and get the last number of The Modern Mother's Magazine; it contains an article on ‘How To Bring Up Children.’ '’—Town Topics. Well Qualified.—‘‘You’re rather 4 young man to be left in charge of a drug shop,”’ said the fussy old gentle- man. ‘‘Have you any diploma?’’ “‘Why—er—no, sir,’’ replied the shopman; ‘‘but we have a preparation of our own that’s just as good. ’’—Sketch. All Cashiers Alike.—‘‘Why in emigrat- ing to America have you planned to leave your youngest son behind?”’ “Oh, I guess he’ll follow later. He has just been appointed cashier in a Berlin bank.”’—Meggendorfer Blaetter. comicbooks.com oe . ee
