What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** rather than political satire. The main feature is "The Paragraphers' Prey," a humorous poem mocking **newspaper columnists** who relentlessly make jokes from a single source—in this case, a best-selling novel's protagonist, "Lambert Francis Humperdinck." The satire targets how forty different newspaper jokesmith columnists (identified by bylines like F.P.A. and P.A. Hollister) mechanically extract puns and quips from the same material daily, working it to death for their readers across America. The remainder consists of **commercial advertisements**: Cook's Champagne, a drawing school, a document-filing system, and Smart Styles magazine promoting Paris fashions. The "Latest News from Hogwallow, Ky." section offers gentle rural humor—folksy anecdotes about country life and unsophisticated locals—typical filler for magazines of this era.

The hero of a best-sex-seller, he was bathed in printer's ink By forty dreary jokesmiths, who made folks laugh each day At their colyums in the papers from Ver- mont to Ioway. He started all the trouble when, quite in- nocently, he “Looked guiltily about, then dropped his eyes."” (—Page 63.) Then: ‘Lambert left the room and tore up Wall Street on the run."’ A sort of paving contractor, eh, what? (—The Evening Sun.) “‘He bent her will, and then he threw his scruples far away."’ Apparently a. 8. to 8., Chief Bender. (—F. P. A.) Misfortune, dour and dolorous, pursued him late and soon, “He fell and cracked his crystal." Where is that? (—The Picayune.) “Lambert felt a draft."” Well, Lammie, Uncle Sam Will tax your feelings after March first. (—Youngstown Telegram.) “He dragged his feet unwillingly across the emerald grass."’ Such rude, reluctant feet he had! (—The Transcript, Boston, Mass.) “He shed @ tear as he observed the sor- row of the maid.” The shed's the place for melancholy squabs, (—Toledo Blade.)
