What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct satirical pieces: **"A Dangerous Professor"**: A brief joke mocking anti-evolution sentiment. A preacher's son considers Professor Gunning dangerous—not because he's an evolutionist, but because he's a *socialist*, viewed as worse than Darwin's evolutionary theory. **"Why Indeed!"**: A husband-and-wife joke about artificial beauty. When his wife is criticized for being "all made up," the husband defends her by arguing: if society admires "self-made men," why not admire a self-made woman? The satire targets both vanity and gender double standards. **"Her Turn"**: A anecdote about poet Wordsworth who woke his wife nightly to dictate poetry. When he finally wakes her again with "I've thought of a good word," she replies by getting up herself to write down a "bad word"—a witty inversion of his artistic tyranny. The page also contains a full-page advertisement for Rowe's Gloucester Bed Hammock, emphasizing its quality construction for outdoor relaxation.

Chambers, the popular novelist, was talking to a reporter about the artistic temperament. I have little patience with the tistic temperament,” Mr. Chambers said, “Its synonym is selfishness.
