What you’re looking at

This appears to be primarily **advertising and human-interest stories** rather than political satire. The page contains: **Top advertisements:** Cluett coat shirts, Haskell-Match golf balls, and Sohmer pianos. **Three short articles:** - "The Polite Burman" describes British colonial encounters in Burma - "Eggs a Century Old" recounts finding preserved eggs in a tree - "What Servians Think of King" presents compliments to King Peter of Serbia from the Serbian press **Bottom advertisements:** Morton Trust Company, Evans' Ale, and Knox Hats. The content reflects early 20th-century Life magazine's mix of light humor, travel narratives, and product advertisements. The Serbia item suggests pre-WWI publication, but no specific date appears. The satirical element is minimal—primarily gentle, anecdotal storytelling rather than political commentary.

Sth Ave. 22d St. NEW YORK Eggs a Century Old a large tree some days ago in estershire, a bird’s nest con- ing four eggs was discovered inclosed in a hollow near the heart of the trunk. The sap rings showed that nearly a century had elapsed since the eggs were laid, and it was ob- vious that the hollow had closed automatically. ‘The eggs were intact, but slightly faded.—London Daily Mail. Dying Bird's Devotion A DANZIG correspondent writes: While swimming on a lake with her brood of five a diver bird was shot, and although mortally wounded, collected her young onesand dived for their safety. When her dead body floated to the surface the five little birds were still clinging with their beaks to her wings, but all had been suffocated by remaining too long under the water.—London Daily Mail, What Servians Think of King HE following are some of the compliments daily offered to King Peter by the Servian press: “Abominable polypus! Our unfortunate land is at last in the grasp of your sanguinary claws, but we will shake it free. “Murder, and govern, monster! You went to Switzerland to study and retumed a criminal. This is the morality you have brought us from Geneva!” “Reptile! Scest thou not the looks of hate that follow thee in the streets? Fearest thou not the hand fated one day to wring thy cursed neck?” Otadjbina says: “The article in which we said: “Flushed with blood, you appeared in our reeking with alcohol,’ has been pronounced wrongfully suppressed by the court, as it contains no malignment of King Peter. Our mild and just exposition of facts as they are shall therefore continue.” —Pall Mall Gazette, MORTON TRUST COMPANY 38 NASSAU STREET, NEW YORK - $2,000,000 Surplus end Undivided Profits, $7,500,000 OFFICERS: Capital, - = ere, Vice-Pres. tM.
