This is primarily an **advertising and miscellaneous content page** rather than a satirical cartoon page. The page contains: **Main Content:** - A humorous anecdote about a cat and hen sharing nesting duties at a Chicago farm - A golf story about a taciturn caddy who deflates a broker's ego by implying he's played poorly before - A brief story about a woman using mustard plaster for indigestion relief **None of these are political satire.** They're human-interest humor pieces typical of *Life* magazine's genteel comedy. The golf caddy story is the closest to satire—gently mocking a wealthy broker's vanity—but it's mild social observation rather than biting political commentary. **Advertisements** dominate the page: Beeman's Pepsin Gum, real estate/trust companies, luxury liqueur, ale, and whiskey. These reflect early 20th-century consumer culture. The page lacks the caricatured figures or explicit political commentary one might expect from a "satirical magazine." It represents *Life*'s evolution toward general-interest humor and lifestyle content.

Rogers Touhy, Rogers Park. A Maltese cat and a brown Leghom hen were in partnership in a manger. Between them they | have three white kittens and eleven eggs. The | hen was sitting on eight of the eggs and one of the | | kittens, and the cat was lying on the other three eggs and coddling the other two kittens when the novel mén: s discovered. When the hen goes to eat, the cat tries to keep alll the eggs warm. | When the cat goes to seck food she leaves her kittens in charge of the hen. | Apparently the kittens are three or four days} ]]| old, and the eggs, it is judged, have been in incu- | bation for a longer time. Mr. Touhy wonders whether the cat or the chickens will be more surprised when the latter break forth from the egg shells. —Chicago Tribune. ALTER J. TRAVIS, the golfer, set up his ball, and then made half a dozen swishes at the short grass with the driver. “Tam not in good form,” he said. “I am play ¢ a broker we had here last week | broker played once around, making a! | dreadful exhibition of himself. Of this, though, he was not aware. He was doing pretty well for him. “The man’s caddy was an unusually quiet, stolid lad, a boy with a freckled face, quite devoid | of expression. “And since the caddy never once laughed or sneered at his bad play, the broker took a fancy to him. And he said at the end of the round, in the hope of getting a compliment: “«T have been traveling for the last six months. I am quite out of practice. This is why Tam in such bad form to-day.” “The caddy replied, calmly: “Then ye’ve played before, have ye, sir??”— Kansas City Independent. A\ FEW yearsagoa dear old lady, who formerly | lived in Ipswich, and was a relative of the poet Whittier, had occasion to go on a journey which necessitated a night’s ride in a sleeping car, Being subject to attacks of acute indiges- tion, she took the precaution to place a few leaves of the commercial mustard plaster in her | handbag. During the night, pains, either real or imagi- nary, warned her of troubleand prevented sleep. Deciding upon the application of a plaster, she reached, in the dark, for the handbag, and, hav- | ing secured it, proceeded to put one of the leaves. where it would do the most good, and imme || ately felt comforted and enjoyed a refreshing sleep until morning. Upon removing the plaster, what was her astonishment to find that it was a S10 bank note which had brought such speedy relief.—Boston | Herald. Make the best cocktail.
