What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and humor filler**, not political cartoons. It consists of hotel ads (Earlington, Hotel Albert), classified ads (art courses, La Follette's Weekly magazine), and a series of **short jokes** under the "Shear Steal" section. The jokes are mild social humor typical of early 20th-century periodicals: - **"Misplaced"**: A pun about lightning bugs (fireflies) with their rear lights - **Millionaire and missions**: Satire on wealthy men's reluctance to donate to charity - **Book agent**: Lawyer joke about opportunism - **Sympathy**: Joke about bridge-playing wives as marital problems - **Accident victim**: Satire on vanity—a woman wanting credit for her fashionable shoes for causing an accident The humor reflects period attitudes toward wealth, marriage dynamics, and materialism but contains no significant political content or identifiable caricatures. It's representative advertising-heavy magazine filler rather than satirical commentary.

He dashes through this world of ours, His headlight on behind. —Cornell Widow. One of Them—A certain millionaire did not approve of foreign missions. One Sunday at church, when the collection was being taken up for these missions, the collector approached the millionaire and held out the collection box. The millionaire shook his head. “I never give to missions,”? he whis- pered. “Then take something out of the bag, sir,” whispered the collector. “The money is for the heathen."’—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Couldn’t Tell Him—Book agent—Here’s auseful little book. It tells what to do in case of accident. Prospect—That’s right inmy line. The first thing to do is to get a fee contract from the fellow and a list of witnesses, and then telephone the law firm I’m chas- ing for.—Chicago News.

Sympathy—‘‘Cards have ruined many a man’s home.’ “I can sympathize with you,’’ replied the gloomy man. ‘‘My wife plays bridge, too.”’—New Orleans Picayune. The Ruling Passion—‘‘Am I badly hurt, doctor?” “No, no. It’s a pretty severe sprain, that’s all. When you turned suddenly and ran into the fire hydrant, you seem to have slipped off the curb and twisted your ankle. You'll be all right in a week or so.’” “Yes, And, doctor, one request.’’ “Go ahead.’” “Won't you please have the papers say that the accident was due to my French high heels?’’—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Real Mourner—‘‘ What are you wear- ing that thing for?’’ asked Mrs. Gabb, when her husband came home with a band of crape around his hat. “For your first husband,*’ replied Mr. Gabb. ‘‘I’m sorry he died.’"—Cincinnati Enquirer. Softy—‘‘He remarked to her that men are but clay.”” “Bright.’’ “And she asked him if that applied to her.”” “And then?” “He replied that it applied to all.
