What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of **advertisements and brief humorous sketches**, not political cartoons. The main content includes: **"Shifting Sands"** — A joke about a newspaper reporter (Scoop) who fell asleep during a French orator's lecture, caught only the words "shifting sands," and fabricated an entire article about that topic. The French speaker later confronts the editor, outraged that his actual lecture was misrepresented. **"They'll Have It Yet"** — A brief satirical exchange mocking the women's suffrage movement. A farmer complains that "suffragettes want everything nowadays," and his wife jokes they'll soon demand women be included in prayers ("Awomen!"). **"Life" and other sketches** — Sentimental verses about riding through life stages. The **advertisements** dominate: Waterman fountain pens, Remoh gems, Fish Bite lure, and a Piedmont cedar chest occupy significant space. The suffrage reference is the only overtly political content, treating the women's voting rights movement as absurd rather than serious.

At the close of the lecture he woke up with a start, and as he pulled himself together his h: mind caught the words ‘‘shifting sand: That was sufficient for Scoop. Arriving at the office, he straightway proceeded to the “dope room,”? where he spent a good half hour reading about shifting sands. When the French orator opened the paper next morning, he found himself credited with having given a long talk on shifting sands the night before. Jam- ming the paper into his pocket, the Frenchman went with long strides to the editor and demanded an explanation for the story. “What is the matter?’’ asked the editor. “Doesn't the article cover the subject fally?”” “Cover ze subject, indeed!" replied the Frenchman. “‘I said nothing about ze shifting sands, except dat zay would be ze subject on which I lecture next week !"” Life. Infancy: The mother said softly, her heart full of joy, “He is riding a broomstick—my dear little boy !"” Childhood: Again she said gayly, with eyes ever mild, “He is ridin, little child! Youth: The father said anxiously, ‘Son, pray go slow! You are riding a pace that will bring you to woe!" Manhood: “My friend,’’ said a comrade, ‘‘the hobby you stride Runs away with each man who sticks spurs in its side!’" Old Age: The world said, ‘‘Poor fellow! An- other cracked wit! A chap who rode life without bridle or bit!” Luvana Sheldon. They'll Have It Yet. “Them pesky suffergettes wants every- thing nowadays,’ growled Farmer Brown, peering over the Morning Star. “Yes,’’ sighed his meek spouse. ‘I heered Deacon Applegate say, last Sun- day, that soon they’d be sayin’ Awomen! at the end of a prayer.” Careless, Howard—This is the fifth time I’ve Sean accounts in the papers of accidents to Louise in her auto.
