What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and editorial content** rather than political satire. The top half features a **Southern Railway advertisement** promoting Asheville, North Carolina as a tourist destination in the "Land of the Sky," highlighting outdoor recreation like golf, fishing, and mountain climbing. The center contains an illustration labeled "don't forget that life comes out to-day"—a straightforward reminder to readers about the magazine's publication schedule. Below that, an article titled **"Churches and Consciences"** discusses the historical evolution of American churches from their original role as community gathering spaces to their modern social function. The piece appears to be a serious commentary on changing religious practice rather than satire. The remaining space is devoted to travel advertisements (Europe tours) and jewelry ads (Krementz & Co.).

In the old primitive days consciences, be- ing meddlesome, opinionated and des- potic, were very inconvenient to have around, In order, therefore, that we might go comfortably about our daily tasks of trading horses and other com- modities with our neighbors, it was necessary for us to find some suitable repository for our consciences. The churches were the result. We would accept a Presbyterian or an Episco- palian or a Methodist or a Catholic check for a conscience, and then go around once a week to see if it was all right. As time passes and efficiency methods evolve, however, we are learning to get along better with our consciences and without the churches. .We have brought our consciences under the yoke. We have taught them to be humble, meek and mild, to “judge not that ye be not judged”, and not to be hyper- critical and cry out at every little sinister thought and action. Under such training, our consciences have ceased to be austere and forbidding, but have become affable and com- panionable. They don't care what we do, or if they do care, they say nothing about it. That being the case, it fol- lows naturally that the churches should be no longer well attended. We fear they must find a new use and adapt themselves thereto, E. 0.

COOK & SON NEW YORK: 246 Broadway, 264 Fifth Ave. BOSTON —_PTLADELPHIA SAN FRANCISCO 108 ANGELES Cosk's Tralee Cheques Are Good AD! Over the World Bunkered TH links are very sad to-day, And I—who golfed so neatly !— Am hopeless since you went away, I've lost my drive completely. Since you withheld that little word, I can do naught but blunder; My brassie shots are quite absurd, At slicing I’m a wonder. The caddie looks at me and smiles, As toward the green I amble; My iron shots are off—by miles— My putting is a scramble! I set my teeth and strive again, Up yonder hill to follow; Alas! my ball prefers the glen, And scampers toward the hollow. The flag is down, the course is bare, The game is dull and dreary; I am not getting anywhere— You've got me bunkered, deariec! Robert C. McElravy. Down in South Carolina they caught an old negro roost-robber “with the goods on him”, and the saying goes, and forthwith haled him into court to stand trial for chicken-stealing. When old Rastus was placed in the dock the judge said: “Now, Uncle Ras, I suppose you realize that you're in a court of law, and you quite realize what a court is?” “Why, shore, boss,” came back Rastus, “aco’t? Why, a co’t am shore a place where dey dispenses wif justice!" —Argonaut.
