What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, typical of early 20th-century magazines. The content consists of mail-order business pitches rather than political satire. **Notable advertisements include:** - **Stanley-Rogers Company**: A tailoring scheme offering made-to-order suits for $2.95 down, 6 months to pay—likely targeting working-class men concerned about appearing respectable. - **Dr. Hall's Sexual Knowledge**: A mail-order medical book, common in this era when such information wasn't readily available. - **La Follette's Weekly**: Progressive political magazine promoting Robert La Follette's reformist politics. - **White Cross Electric Vibrator**: An early electrical health device marketed as therapeutic—vibrators were then promoted for legitimate medical uses before later associations changed their image. The humor pieces ("Motes and Beams," "The Lesser Evil") are generic anecdotes about marriage and military service, not satirizing specific current events. The page reflects early 1900s consumer culture and the era's approach to advertising intimate products.

The Lesser Evil—‘‘At the battle of Cedar Creek,”’ said the veteran captain of a company in one of Virginia’s bravest regiments, ‘‘my company, which gener- ally wasn’t afraid of the arch-fiend him- self, grew demoralized and panic-stricken, Despite all my efforts, they broke and started pell mell for the rear. “*As one fellow, whom I knew was as fearless as a lion, dashed by me, I drew my revolver and cried, “**Halt and return to your place! If you don’t, I will shoot!’ “**Shoot and be hanged!’ he replied, never slackening his pace. ‘What’s one bullet to a basketful?’ ’’—Youth’s Com- panion. ‘Wail From the Sanctum—‘‘ What a bless- ed thing it would be,’’ sighs the Scammon (Kan.) Miner, ‘‘if one could run a news- paper and never ask some of its subscrib- ers to pay up! As longas the paper goes on week after week and no statement is sent for arrearages, everything goes like clockwork, and you are one of the best and most accommodating editors on earth, your paper is the best in the country, your items are highly polished, your advice is followed, your sayings gladden the hearts of the household, and happiness reigns supreme. “But, oh, what a brute you are, after sending the paper two or three years for nothing, if you politely send in your bill and ask what is due or a portion of it! Your ratty old paper is not any account, I just took it to accommodate you, no one in the family reads it, we can get all the reading matter at the drug stores, and hundreds of other mean and contemptible things are hurled at the editor and his paper. If we were rich, we would not ask any one to pay for his paper—we would not print one.’’ Birds of Prey—Miss Audrey had come to spend the week-end with friends in a little New Jersey town and exhibited a keen interest in the much-talked-of ‘“‘Jer- sey skeeter.’” When the greetings were over and the party settled down, the guest remarked to her host, after a careful survey of the porch, “I don’t see any mosquito netting around, William.’ “‘No,’’ answered he; ‘‘we’re using mouse traps.’’—Everybody’s Magazine.
