What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** with some satirical stories. The main content includes: **"Other People's Efforts"** — A humorous anecdote where a minister's wife rudely rebuffs a visitor, assuming he's a book salesman, only to learn from a neighbor he was actually selling Bibles. The joke satirizes religious hypocrisy and hasty judgment. **"When the Chief Quailed"** — A satirical story about Quanah Parker (actual Comanche chief) being ordered by a Congressional committee to eliminate polygamy among his tribe. The humor derives from the power dynamic: a U.S. government official demands Parker enforce monogamy, but Parker himself claims to have six wives. The satire mocks both the government's paternalistic Indian policy and the absurdity of Parker appearing to comply while personally ignoring the mandate. The remaining content consists of hotel and business advertisements (Holland House, Hotel Imperial, Romeike's Press Cutting Bureau) with brief humorous observations about "winter money-getters" and politics.

Other People’s Efforts. None on Hand. The wife of a leading minister in a srsey town was sitting on the porch of the manse when a man with a grip in his hand started to come up the steps. vtting him at once for a book agent ddler, she said firmly, ‘Nothing you one?”* queried the stran- ‘ing that an affirmative answer might lead to further conversation, in which the salesman would try to demon- the improvements made in the purchased hers, the minister's wife answered shortly, ‘‘No!"" Shaking his head, the man retreated down the steps, repeating this sentence several times, ‘‘Hasn’t got one, doesn’t want one! The man’s manner and tone of voice awakened the woman’s curiosity, so very soon she went over to a neighbor's house, she had seen the man stop, and What was that man who was here a few minutes ago selling?’ To her astonishment and chagrin, the neighbor replied, ‘Bible Lippin- cott’s Magazine.

Two or three years ago Uncle Sam is- sued a mandate to the effect that the Indians in the future should take unto themselves but one wife.

He was admonished to go home and tell them that this condition of af- fairs could no longer exist and that the surplus wil must be sent home to their parents. Last session Parker again appeared before the committee, a1.¢ the following conversation took place between him and a committeeman: “Did you tell your bucks that they must have but one wife, Parker? “Yes, me tell ‘um,’’ responded the Did you get rid of the extra wives?’’ all gone,’? answered the chief.
