What you’re looking at
This page contains three distinct elements: **"Aut Scissors, Aut Nullus" Cartoon Section**: Brief humorous anecdotes about marriage and social etiquette. The jokes contrast men's attitudes toward purchasing wives' dresses and reveal social expectations about courtship and honor among gentlemen. **"The Troubled Menagerie"**: A satirical poem referencing Theodore Roosevelt's return from Africa (evident from "our Teddy is coming home soon"). It mocks press sensationalism by comparing newsworthy events to nursery rhyme absurdities, with the phrase "a dollar a word" criticizing expensive newspaper coverage. **"Honor" Anecdote**: Andrew Carnegie recounts a Pullman train story illustrating hypocrisy—a man appeals to fellow passengers' honor to avoid ticket inspection, then hides beneath a seat. This satirizes the disconnect between professed moral principles and actual behavior. The page also features a **Sanatogen advertisement**, a patent medicine tonic marketed as a nerve/energy restorer, endorsed by physicians—typical of early 20th-century medical marketing before FDA regulations.

Honor “Some men,’’ said Andrew Carnegie ata dinner, “have very queer ideas of honor. “I was once riding from Pittsburg to Philadelphia in the smoking compart- ment of a Pullman, There were per- haps six of us in the compartment, smok- ing and reading. All of a sudden a door banged and the conductor's voice cried : ** All tickets, please!’ denly papa stopped, and, pointing him out, said: “There, my dear, is worth ten millions. Weekly “Then one of the men in the com- partment leaped to his feet, scanned the faces of the rest of us and said slowly impressively “Gentlemen, I trust to your honor.” “ And he dived under the seat and re- mained there in a small, silent knot till the conductor was safely gone.""—Min- neapolis Journal. “Wuo is the gentleman seated in the large touring car?” “That is the poct laureate of a well- known biscuit factory."’—Birmingham Age-Herald.
