What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and humorous short anecdotes** rather than political cartoons. The satirical content consists of brief jokes addressing early 20th-century social concerns: **Key humor pieces:** 1. **"Getting Down to Business"**: A man interrogates a woman about her physical and mental health before proposing romance—satirizing the era's pseudo-scientific eugenic concerns about heredity and fitness. 2. **"Veracity Paid"**: A boy's brutal honesty about not liking work gets him hired—the joke being that he's at least truthful, unlike other applicants who lie about their work ethic. 3. **"In a Barber Shop"**: A farmer discusses beard-shaving experiences—appears to be a setup for a longer anecdote (text cuts off). **The advertisements** (Evans' Ale, diamonds on credit, art studies, magic tricks) reflect period consumer culture targeting middle-class readers. No specific political figures are caricatured; rather, the satire targets common social behaviors and anxieties of the era.

Are you fond of work?” asked the boss, “No, sir,’’ answered the boy—looking the boss straight in the face. “Oh, you’re not, aren’t you? Well, we want a boy that is.’’ “There ain’t any doggedly. “Oh, yes, there are. We have had a dozen of that kind here this morning look- ing for a situation with us.’’ **How do you know they are not lazy?” persisted the boy. “Why, they told me so.’” **So I could have told you so; but I’m not a liar."’ He got the job.—New York Call. ’ insisted the boy In a Barber Shop—It was in a suburban barber shop, and a farmer with a week’s growth of stubby beard had seated him- self in a chair to have his whiskers cropped. “Guess you'll have a time gittin’ them off,’’ he remarked, as the barber began rubbing on the lather. ‘Oh, I don’t know,"’ said the barber carelessly. ‘‘All beards look alike to me."” “‘Wunst I went into a barber shop to git shaved,’’ resumed the farmer, ‘‘and after the barber was done and I was pay- in’ him, he remarked, ‘Say, old man, if all beards was like yourn, I’d quit the barber business.’ I sez to him, I sez, ‘Well, you haven't got anything on me, old man.

Back at Them— Labor unions were strong in his city. On Halloween the boys pulled a lot of pickets off the fence of the union barber and made a bonfire of them. The barber bought some pickets and nailed them onto his fence himself. Whereupon he was promptly fined $50 by the council for doing carpenter work Stories With Smiles which should have been done by a uniog carpenter. The barber thought this over for some time. Then he presented the carpenters’ union with a bill for $1,375. “‘What’s this for?’’ asked the chief of the carpenters’ union. “Why,” the barber replied, what's due the barbers penters shave themselve His fine was remitted. — Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. “that’s ecause the car. Interpretation of Scripture—They were speaking of the remarkable way in which telegraphic messages are occasionally in- terpreted, and this story was recalled by Governor-elect David I. Walsh, of Massa. chusetts: Some time ago the stork visited the home of a happy young couple in a New England town, and wishing to notify her girl chum, who lived in a distant city, the mother sent the following telegram: “For unto us a child is born.—Isaiah ix. 6."" “Oh, John,’’ exclaimed the girl chum to her husband on receiving the dispatch, ‘“‘T have just got a telegram from Gladys, and what do you think?’ “*You have got me chucked out at first in the conundrum game,’’ indulgently smiled John. ‘*What’'s the answer?” “Gladys has a baby boy!’’ enthusias- tically responded little wifey. ‘His name is Isaiah, and he weighs nine pounds six ounces !""—Philadelphia Telegraph.

What is the matter?” “‘Well, yer see, mum,"’ said the serv- ant, ‘‘they don’t one of ’em fit.''—Chi- cago News. First Impressions Technicalities are never required to bolster up a good cause. Sunday to some married men is simply a day for doing things that have to be done around the house. When a woman looks especially con- tented, it isn’t usually a case of g deeds done so much as a new gown. “‘Keep your head in the stars, but your feet on the ground,’’ is good old copy- book advice, but it will never make a suc- cessful tango artist. Nature sometimes exhibits remarkable intelligence. Out in California a few days ago lightning struck an amateur who was practicing on a cornet. Why don’t these anti-white-slave re- formers do something for the woman who spends all her life in the kitchen?—W. Kee Maxwell, in Peoria Journal.
