What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and product promotion**, not political satire. It features: **Main Content:** James Montgomery Flagg's illustration of an attractive woman in yachting attire, offered as a 25-cent art print. The accompanying text appeals to male readers (sailors, club members) as a decorative picture for their spaces. **Humor Section:** "Stories with Smites" contains three brief jokes: - Two men mock a bald stranger about hair loss; he replies the cause is "brains" - An Irishman ("Pat") struggles with the concept of a round Earth, theorizing the sun "slips back at night" - A hobo avoids gutter-cleaning by claiming his method is "to pray for rain" These are generic period humor—playing on stereotypes of Irish immigrants as simple-minded and tramps as lazy—with no specific political reference. The page reflects early 20th-century popular comedy conventions rather than satirical commentary.

Leslie-Judge Co. 225 Fifth Avenue New York a = a Stories ‘with Smifes What They Lacked—Two men on a train were apparently old acquaintances, and they were in a jovial mood. Both were gray, but each had a luxuriant head of hai Near them sat a stout party with a shining dome that was almost destitute of hirsute covering. The two friends exchanged facetious remarks about silver locks, then indulged in some pleasantries about the ‘thinning of the thatch,’’ with casual references to door knobs and billiard balls, much to the amusement of the passengers, but to the evident discomfiture of the bald-headed man. The talk finally developed into an argu- ment of the cause of baldness, and, after considerable jocularity, the pair turned to the pearly-pated stranger, and one said, “My friend and I have been discussing the cause of baldness, but we can’t seem to agree. Would you mind telling us what you regard as the real cause of baldness?” ° The stranger wheeled about, eyed his questioner fiercely and snorted, ‘‘Brains!"’ —Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Pat's Astronomy—Pat found it impossi- ble to believe that the earth is round, in spite of the numerous arguments of an eminent astronomer. “But look here, Pat,’’ said the latter. “You must see that the earth can’t be anything else but round. Now, tell me, where does the sun rise?”’ “In the east, of course!’’ said Pat. “‘And where does it set?’’ “‘Why, in the west!" “Weil, then, how does it manage to get back in the east again by the morning? Tell me that.’” Pat thought hard for a minute; then an intelligent look dawned in his eye. “Why, of course,’’ said he at last, ‘‘it just slips back at night!’’ — Cleveland Leader. Doesn’t Need a Hoe—Some time ago a hobo meekly tapped on the back door of a suburban home and asked for something to eat. The good housewife responded that she would feed him on the back step along with Fido, provided he was willing to earn the meal by cleaning out the gutter. The tramp agreed, and when he had eaten his way through several sandwiches toa feeling of happiness, the housewife came out with a reliable-looking hoe. “You needn’t have gone to that trou- ble, madam,”’ said the hobo, sizing up the farm implement. ‘‘I never use a hoe in cleaning out a gutter.”’ “‘Never use a hoe!’’ said the woman, with a wondering expression. ‘‘What do you use, then? A shovel?’’ “‘No, madam,”’ replied the hobo, start- ing for the back gate. ‘‘My method is to pray for rain.’’—Philadelphia Telegraph. One Opinion—Contentment is better than riches—yes, if you have them both. —Texas Coyote. Club Cocktails 'O matter how good a cock- tail you mix yourself—you cannot give it the smoothness of age. The perfect flavor of Club Cocktails is due to their aging in wood before bottling as well as to their accurate mixing.
