What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **commercial advertisements** with minimal satirical content. The dominant features are ads for Burlington Watches, hotels (Albert, Earlington, Imperial), and a "Sexology" book series. The only satirical element is a small section titled **"Stories with Smiles"**—humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons. These are nostalgic tall tales (an elderly man exaggerating winter cold), a brief joke about a boy in the "Band of Mercy Society" who loses his moral badge, and working-class humor about a large woman and a tired man on a tram. The humor relies on wordplay and class-based comedy typical of early 20th-century popular magazines. **Context for modern readers:** These brief stories represent the magazine's lighter content between advertisements, targeting working and middle-class readers with accessible, sentimental, or mildly risqué humor. There is no significant political or social satire visible on this particular page.

Why, I remember the winter of eighteen hundred and so forth, when it was so cold that if you flung a dipper of b’ilin’ water out 0” doors, it cracked like a gun. Yes, sir; and a live coal would freeze solid in five minutes. Worse than that, your conver- sation actually froze before it could be heard. “IT knew a stutterin’ man who talked chopped ice, and a feller who drawled so that his remarks froze in his throat and had to be extracted with a corkscrew. You had to heat your watch every now and then, or it would tick itself full of particles of ice and stop runnin’. Us boys used to have a great joke. When visitors came, we would slip up and put a lot of frozen coyote howls in the fire- place, and when they thawed out they’d yell like demons, and we'd have a good laugh at the visitors’ surprise. Aw, yes! it was sorter cold that winter !’’—Kansas City Star. No Star, No Mercy—Little Everett was a member of the Band of Mercy Society, and was proud of the membership. He wore his badge, a small star, as if it were a policeman’s insignia, and was often heard reproving other boys and girls for cruel treatment of dogs and cats. One morning a woman of the neighbor- hood heard a commotion outside Everett's home, and, going to the window, was surprised to find Everett in the act of tormenting the cat. “Why, Everett,”’ she called, ‘‘what are you doing to that poor cat? I thought you belonged to the Band of Mercy Soci- ety I did,” r lost my star."’ lied the little boy; ‘but I -Lippincott's. Half and Half—An old woman of tre- mendous size hailed a tram car, and with considerable difficulty managed to climb up and get a seat inside. When she was comfortably settled, she looked round at a man seated behind her and said with great vigor, “If you'd been ‘arf a man, you'd 'a’ ’elped me hup!”” The man gave a weary smile and re- plied, “If you ’ad only been ‘arf the woman you are, I might ’ave ’ad a try.”” —Argonaut. The Horse for Him—A Scottish farmer of a miserly disposition bought a horse ata fair. On the way home he thought a drink of water would refresh it, so he got a pail of water; but the animal would not take it. When he got home, he of- fered it a feed of corn; but to his sur- prise it would not touch that, either. “‘Weel,’’ he muttered to himself, “if only I was sure ye were a guid worker, ye’re the verra horse for me.’’—Pitts- burgh Chronicle-Telegraph. _ EARLINGTON 27th Street, West of Broadway NEW YORK EUROPEAN PLAN @A Step from Broadway. q Absolutely Fireproof.
