What you’re looking at
This page contains **primarily advertising** with a notable short humorous story. The main feature is a **Rauch & Lang automobile advertisement**, presenting their electric cars as the choice of high society at motor shows. The ad emphasizes craftsmanship comparable to "coaches of Royalty," appealing to wealthy, refined buyers. Below is a **comic story about sibling rivalry**: A boy named William mistreats his younger brother Henry constantly. Their father reproves William, saying Henry "ought to be sacred to you." William appears reformed but is later overheard telling Henry that if he *weren't* sacred, William would beat him—darkly comic because William's respect stems purely from his father's moral command, not genuine affection. The three illustrated heads at bottom appear to show different family members' reactions (labeled "to his sister," "to his aunt," "to his mother"), likely depicting their varied responses to the family drama. The page otherwise features ads for **Liquid Veneer** car polish, **Evans' Ale**, and miscellaneous notices—typical of Life's revenue model.

Wirttaae not kind to his small brother Henry; in fact, he looked upon him as a nuisani scourge sent from heaven to try his spirit and spoil his fun. One day especially was Henry a thorn in the older boy’s flesh. In his efforts to rid himsclf of his burden, William resorted to all the methods the mind of youth suggested, but in vain Henry continued to stick as close, if not closer, than a brother. “William,” finally said the boy's father, who had witnessed, unheard, the final paroxysm of the unequal struggle, “you should be ashamed of yourself to treat your little brother in that way! He ought to be sacred to you.” William made no reply; bur shortly afterward, believing himself to be free of surveillance, he was heard to ad- dress Henry thus, “ Always taggin’ after me!
