What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and instructional content** rather than political satire or editorial cartooning. The main illustrated feature is "'It's Birds Sure'"—an advertisement for Du Pont shotgun shells showing a man and dog hunting birds. The accompanying text explains that birds are reliable targets because the shells are "loaded with powder manufactured by" Du Pont. This is straightforward product promotion. The page also contains detailed instructions for hosting "Picture Puzzle Parties," a popular entertainment form of the era, using Life's published puzzle collections as entertainment and prizes. Below these are various other advertisements (Panhard Oil, Detroit Electric automobiles, J.M. Quinby & Co., and Abbott's Bitters). There is **no political cartoons or satirical content** visible on this page.

As a form of enter- tainment they have many things to recommend them. They are suitable for any number of guests, from a few to a great many. While every one is amused and interested in working the puzzles, they are no bar to conversation. Puzzle parties may be given with or without prizes. HOW To GO ABOUT IT. Tnvite as many or as few as you pl In your ifvitations name the hour when the ‘play Will begin, so that every one will have an equal cha Divide your guests into sets of from three to seven.” For each set provide a table and one of Lire’s Picture Puzztes, or one of Lire’s Gisson Puzztes. If prizes are to be given, they may be in various ways. If, for instance, you five players at each table, your prizes should be th cots of five—one for each player at the winning table. The set of handsomest prizes should be awarded to the table which completes its puz- zle first. There should also be a set of booby prizes for the table which finishes last. The plan may be varied by having fi and third sets of prizes for the tal finish in that order, or prizes may be provided for all the sets. Lire’ Parts, daintily framed, make excellent prizes. Catalogue of these prints to any address on receipt of twenty-five cents. FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES. Picture Puzzle Parties for charitable pur- poses may be arranged the same as Prize Euchres. Owing to the variety of pictures and to the fact that the different subjects in each grade are of about the same difficulty of solu- tion, Lire’s Picture Puzz and Lire’s Gin- son Puzztes are especially adapted to this purpose. In arranging such entertainments it should be remembered that the Gibson sub- jects are intended for advanced puzzle work- ers, and are somewhat more difficult of solu- tion. An especial advantage of the Lire’s puzzles is they are sold in sealed boxes. The boxes should be placed on the tables ready for play and opened simultaneously at a given signal. Allowing seven persons to a table, enough different subjects in each grade—the Lire’s Pvuzztes and the Ginson Puzztes—can be plied for parties of 175 persons in each. number will be increased later. 's Picture Pe S are sent, carriage prepai , to any address in the United States for two dollars each; one dozen puzzles, all different subjects, twenty dollars. Lire’s Ginson Puzztes, for advanced puzzle- workers, three dollars each; one dozen Ginson Puzztes, all different subjects, thirty dollars.

Just as Banquo withdrew, an agitated cockney voice from high a the gallery piped out a all right now, ‘Enery; ‘e's gor See That The Seat Is Not Broken.
