What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** with a short humor section ("Stories with Smiles"). The advertisements promote various products and services typical of the era: a show card/sign-writing correspondence course, a Florida resort hotel, furniture on credit, a "Book of Gold" scheme promising easy money to agents, Allen's Foot-Ease powder, and Hunter Whiskey. These ads reflect early 20th-century consumer culture and marketing tactics. The humor section contains two brief anecdotes: 1. **"The Boy's Mistake"** mocks a young man's misguided charity—he gives his found gold coin to a blind beggar, reasoning "I can see 'em; you can't." The joke is on his flawed logic. 2. **"Appropriate Hymn"** (incomplete) appears to set up a humorous situation involving a professor and a baptism ceremony. Neither story contains obvious political satire. The page reflects general period attitudes about morality, class, and urban/rural contrasts rather than specific political commentary.

Fogarty, of the Northern Pacific Railroad, was talk. ing in Portland about the $10,000,000 or- der for new equipment that he has just placed. “The cause of this order, the Jargest of its kind on record,’’ he said, ‘‘is pros- perity—real prosperity —not the kind young Husk encountered. “Young Cornelius Husk was about to try his fortune in New York. “**Now, Corny,’ his grandmother said, ‘don’t desert the narrow path of righteous. ness when you get to that rich city where money is so plentiful that they Say the streets are even paved with gold.’ “‘Husk promised his grandmother to behave himself, and in due course he reached New York. He got out at the Pennsylvania Station and started down Seventh Avenue, when he saw glittering in the gutter a bright ten-dollar gold piece. He picked up the coin joyously and was about to place it in his purse, when a blind beggar caught his eye. A wave of generous sympathy surged through him and he handed the beggar the rich find, “**Here, take it,’ he said. ‘I can see "em; you can’t.’ ’— Washington Star. \ppropriate Hymn.—A professor of di- vinity who was spending the summer in the Scottish Highlands was invited to baptize the infant son of the local min- ister. When the time of the ceremony arrived, the guest gave out for congregational singing a paraphrase much favored on such occasions. “Let us sing from the fifth paraphrase, beginning at the second verse, ‘As sparks in close succession rise,’ ’’ he said. To his consternation the congregation giggled audibly. Afterward, asking the clerk what he had done wrong, he was told, “You must know, professor, the minis- ter's name is Sparks, and yonder is his tenth bairn!'’"—Yorkshire Post. Great Scheme.—It was raining very heavily in Berlin, so a wealthy merchant, on leaving the exchange, hailed a cab and asked to be driven to a distant part of the city. On the way the merchant discov- ered that he had forgotten to put his purse in his pocket. What was tobedone? On reaching his destination he got out of the cab and said to the driver, Will you please give me amatch? I have dropped a sovereign on the floor of the cab.’” 7 Instanter the cabman whipped up his horse and soon disappeared around the next corner.— Weekly Telegraph. Dense Stupidity.—‘‘Is that clock right?” asked the visitor, who had already out- stayed his welcome. His hostess yawned. “Oh, no!’ she said. ‘That's the clock we always call ‘The Visitor.’ ’’ The obdurate one sat down again. *«*The Visitor’ !"? he remarked. ‘What a curious name to give a clock !’" . His hostess ventured an explanation. “You see,’? she cooed sweetly, “we call it that because we can never make it go!” And even then he failed to see the point. —London Answers. comicbooks.com
