This page contains two separate elements: **Left side - Humor pieces:** Three short jokes about dogs and wordplay. The "Distinction" story plays on a pun: one dog owner claims his setter acted strangely around a man named "Partridge" (suggesting the dog wanted to "set" on game birds), but the other reveals the man's name was actually "Quayle"—a similar-sounding name that would cause the same behavioral confusion, deflating the first story's cleverness. **Right side - Advertisement:** Republic Rubber Company's ad for "Staggard Tread" tires, featuring a large tire image and an early automobile. The accompanying cartoon (bottom) shows a motorist frustrated by engine trouble, captioned "HE WAS GREATLY ANNOYED BY THE SKIPPING OF HIS ENGINE." **Separate news article:** "Monks Win Right to Chartreuse" reports a 1911 Supreme Court decision protecting Carthusian monks' trademark rights to their liqueur against a French company, even though the monks had relocated their operation to Spain.

"—Loui Courier-Journal, MONKS WIN RIGHT TO CHARTREUSE United States Supreme Court Favors Carthusian Order in Fight to Protect Secret of Its Liqueur. By a decision of the United States Supreme Court the Carthusian Monks, who make the celebrated liqueur known as Chartreuse, have won their fight against the Cusenier Company, a New York corporation, to prevent the latter from using the trade-mark and other indicia of the monks’ product in the sale of a similar cordial in this countr; The Cusenier Com- pany acts as agent for the French liquidator, Mons, Henri Lecontier, appointed by the French courts to take possession of the prop- erty of the monks in France under the Asso- dations act of 1901. Following the forcible removal from their monastery, near Voiron, in the Department of Isere, in France, the monks took their liqueur manufacturing secret with them and set up a factory in Tarragona, in Spain, and there have continued to manufacture the cordial, import- ing from France such herbs as were needed for the purpose. The French liquidator, it is alleged, under- took to make a cordial identical with or closel: resembling the monks’ product. In about substantial details the claims of the monks have been upheld, except that the defendant company has not been held in con- tempt. Justice Hughes wrote the dec ion. | The jurisdiction of the Circuit Court was up held. It was also set forth that the monks’ Non-use of the trade-mark did not constitute abandonment and that the French law affect- ing it could not have any extra-territorial efiect as far as this country, was concerned. and that the monks have an exclusive right to the use of the word Chartreuse in the sale of their product in the United States.—New York Herald, June 20, 1911.
