This page is primarily **advertisements** rather than political satire. The main content includes: **Notable Advertisement:** The Goodyear tire ad features an illustrated sequence showing a car with a detachable tire rim that can be changed in 60 seconds—highlighting a practical automotive innovation for the era when tire changes were time-consuming roadside ordeals. **Other Ads:** Kodak photographic paper (Velox), Lea & Perrins sauce, rose seeds, and a floral catalog occupy the remaining space. **Anecdote Section:** "Praise from Sir Hubert" presents Senator Billy Mason recounting a Montana encounter with a self-made miner who respects Mason for being "free and easy" rather than aristocratic—a popular theme celebrating American egalitarianism and rejecting Old World pretension. **Brief Item:** "Nationality Changed Without Moving" humorously notes a French woman whose nationality shifted three times without leaving her village, due to territorial changes between 1814-1860. The page reflects early 1900s consumer culture and light social commentary rather than sharp political cartoon satire.

Among the number was Mr. Mason himself. While in Montana, says Mr. Mason, he was much struck by the strength of character and manliness so characteristic of the men of that State. The committee was ‘put up” for several days by a rich miner, whose manner of thought and action, acquired in the rough days of pros- pecting and poverty, had in no wise been altered by his acquisition of great wealth. When the time came to say good-by, the miner grasped Mason’s hand, which he shook with great fervor. ‘‘Senator,” said he, “we like you here. You're an Easterner and a public man, but you’re no damned aristocrat! We’ aken a great fancy to you, Mason, because you're free and easy, and no gentleman! In fact, you're just like us!”—Harper's Weekly. Antique “y , this tower goes back to William the Con- queror.” “What's the matter? Isn't it satisfactory ? New Orleans Times-Democrat. Nationality Changed Without Moving CURIOUS illustration of the ups and downs of international politics comes from the Savoy village of Saint Jean de Maurienne, where a woman has died at the age of 93 in the village in which she was born, and without ever leaving it has had her nationality changed three times. She was born in 1814, and as Bonaparte had then seized the territory, she was “French.” When the kingdom of Sardinia was reconstituted the same year, after his fall, she became “Italian,” and finally, on Nice and Savoy being ceded to France in 1860, she once more found herself French.—London Globe. 18 D. & C.
