What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising** for hotels, schools, and consumer goods (diamonds, pistols, insurance). The content includes three brief humorous anecdotes under "Stories with Smiles": 1. **Domestic violence joke**: A wife recants abuse accusations in court, then unconvincingly claims her black eye and bitten ear resulted from self-inflicted accidents. The satire targets both spousal abuse normalization and obviously false testimony in early-20th-century courts. 2. **Scottish dialect humor**: Two tourists on the Isle of Arran lose a vest; a carter's response—that he didn't know which direction the man traveled—mocks rural Scottish practicality and dialect speech. 3. **Art criticism pun**: A painting titled "The Conspirators" is dismissed as "just a frameup"—wordplay on "frame" (artwork frame vs. false accusation). The page also features a photograph and biography of **James H. Hare**, a war photographer sailing to cover European conflicts for *Leslie's* magazine. The humor is gentle, domestic, and relies on wordplay or cultural stereotypes rather than pointed political satire.

EARN $1000 TO $SOOO A YEAR in eight weeds by. s. a Stories ‘with Smifes Must Have Been Difficult—A man was brought before the court upon the com- plaint of his wife. While the prisoner was testifying, the judge made it clear that he intended to be harsh with him; so his wife became frightened, and when called to the stand refused to give any testimony. In fact, she retracted all her accusations, “So your husband didn’t strike you, then?"’ said the judge. ‘*Where did you get that black eye?” “I struck it accidentally on the mantel- piece.” So! And that piece bitten out of your ear—he didn’t do that, either?’’ “No, no, your honor. I did that my- self !"’—Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung. The Retort Simple—Arran is still the haunt of the walking tourist. These days are almost too warm to be comfortable for the pedestrian. Clothing becomes a burden, as was found by two middle-aged men who were “‘doing’’ the island. On the outskirts of Whiting Bay they rested by the wayside; then, divesting them- selves of jackets and vests, they crawled up the steep incline to Dippen, and then on to Kildonan, When they came to put on their vests and jackets, one of the men, to his irrepressible annoyance, dis- covered that his vest had been left behind at the place where they had rested. He reluctantly turned his steps toward Whit- ing Bay. On the way he met a carter, who asked, “Are you looking for a westcoat, sir?” “Yes, my man,"’ replied the pedestrian hopefully. ‘Have you got it?’’ “*No; but I seen it on the grass at the black rocks.’’ “Why didn’t you bring it with you?” thundered the other. “Weel, ye see, sir, I didna just ken which way ye had gone.’’ The Arran natives are adept in the sim- ple retort. The rest was silence.—Glas- gow News.
