What you’re looking at

This page contains three satirical pieces and advertisements: **"Evident"** (Harper's Weekly): A brief joke where a car demonstrator claims his automobile is "almost human." A man named Binks agrees, noting it "reminds me of several men I know" who smoke constantly and puff going uphill—comparing the car's mechanical behavior to human flaws. **"Home Treatment"** (Youth's Companion): A domestic humor piece where a husband asks what women have done for "the feeble-minded." His wife replies they "usually marry them"—a jab at male intelligence. **"A Senseless Affair"** (W.D. Nesbit, Chicago Post): A poem satirizing modern artificiality through repetitive wordplay: a "wireless politician" and "thoughtless maid" encounter endless "less" things (grassless lawn, netless tennis, bounceless ball, soundless call, etc.), culminating in a "payless cheek." The remainder consists of business advertisements for Hampshire Bond paper and Heisey glassware, emphasizing quality and durability as cost-effective choices.
