What you’re looking at

# "On The Lee Shore" by Broughton Brandeburg This is a **short story, not a political cartoon**. The piece is a narrative about Colonel Denby Grier awaiting a visitor in a valley town at the foot of a hill. The story describes the Colonel's peaceful evening, his family's gracious Southern hospitality, and later includes a discussion between characters about insurance and business practices—specifically mentioning Senator Dryden and concerns about life insurance companies. The text appears to be literary fiction exploring themes of Southern gentility, business ethics, and social change in early 20th-century America. There are no identifiable political cartoons or caricatures on this page—it is primarily text-based editorial content from *Life* magazine's November 22, 1909 issue.
