The left side features two advertisements: one for martini cocktails (emphasizing proper mixing technique) and another for "Rad-Bridge" silk products, promoting quality goods. The main editorial content—"A Shanghaied Sailor"—announces upcoming stories in *The Pacific Monthly* magazine, including a first-person account by Henry A. Clock about being kidnapped in San Francisco and working on an Arctic whaling vessel. The page promotes other forthcoming adventure stories and serialized works, with a subscription offer (50 cents for a year). There is **no evident political cartoon or satire** on this page. It represents typical early 20th-century magazine layout mixing advertisements with editorial promotion.

After he was Sentenced to be shot upon the Spot, the Fox, who acted as the prisoner's Counsel, demurred, and found various Flaws in the Evidence, besides which the Verdict was Not Satisfactory to the Prisoner. The Lion consulted with the Ass, thus showing that many Interesting Legal procedures have been Handed Down from very Remote Times. This Emi- nent Authority confirmed the sentence of the Lion and also Ordered the Leopard to be shot upon the Spot. He was there- fore led out for Execution, the Fox sub- mitting to the Verdict, but, when all was ready, he Demanded to be Shown the Exact Spot upon which the Leopard was to be Phot. A Hasty Perusal of the Order showed that no Particular Spot was Specified, while the Fox pointed out that the Leop- ard had Many and that the Ground had many More. A Hurry Call was sent for the Lion and the Ass and a Learned Discussion Ensued. As no Agreement seemed Possible they Ordered the Crimi- nal to be brought into their Presence, only to be Informed that he had Basely Taken Advantage of the Confusion and Escaped. Both the Lion and the Ass heaved a Sigh of Relief at this Happy Termina- tion of what Threatened to be an Awk- ward Incident and the Lion sat back and announced: “ The Next Case will be that of The Milk Trust.""—Brooklyn Life. Two Englishmen were dining together sisted in asking for everything he wanted in doubtful French, while Mr. Cross per- sisted in offering explanations that were in the nature of criticisms.

A_ SHANGHAIED SAILOR will tell in The Pacific Monthly the plain, straightforward and absorbingly interesting details of his experiences aboard a whaler in the Arctic. Do you realize that more than fifty per cent. of the men who go to the Arctic each year in the Arctic whaling fleet are shanghaied? Henry A. Clock, who tells the story, is an intelligent young American who was kidnapped on the waterfront of San Francisco and who secured his facts, as he did his blows, at first hand. This story will run through the Fall and Winter numbers of The Pacific Monthly. During the coming Winter some unusually strong and readable stories will appear in The Pacific Monthly. Jack London’s brilliant story, “The House of Pride,” will appear in an early number. William Winter, the dean of dramatic critics, will contribute several of his able articles on the stage. Captain Kleinschmidt’'s vivid and interesting account of Polar Bear Hunting will appear in one of the Winter numbers. Stewart Edward White, D. E. Dermody, Harvey J. Wickham and many other authors of note will con- tribute stories during the coming months. The work of Felix Benguiat, Wm. Maxwell, and Charles B. Clark, Jr., will appear exclusively in The Pacific Monthly. Each month Charles Erskine Scott Wood will contribute his ‘“Impres- sions,” a feature that has won many friends for The Pacific Monthly in the past. These “Impressions” will discuss in an independent and fearless man- ner the live questions of the day. ‘ The subscription price of The Pacific Monthly is $1.50a year.
