What you’re looking at

This page contains three brief satirical anecdotes under "Aut Scissors / Aut Nullus" (a Latin phrase suggesting sharp wit): 1. **"Close at Hand"**: A Southern woman newly arrived in New York, confused by the subway system, asks a stranger where New York is—not realizing she's already there. The joke mocks Southern unfamiliarity with modern urban infrastructure. 2. **"The Rewards of Punishment"**: A boy summons a doctor, claiming everyone at home is sick except himself. The twist: his family won't give him mushrooms because he misbehaved, so he's excluded from the spoils. It's mild dark humor about parental discipline. 3. **"The Three Parts"**: A quip mocking William Jennings Bryan's announced three-part statement, comparing it to a preacher's sermon where neither speaker nor audience understands anything. This appears political satire of Bryan's speaking style or clarity. The page is mostly **advertisements** (Arcadia tobacco, Harper's Magazine's educational directory, Marmay cigarettes), typical of *Life*'s format.

sAUT SCISSORS ) Aut NULLUS A woman from the South visiting New York for the first time was much agitated when, after being conveyed through the Hudson tube, she found herself in an- other subway. Rushing up to a knowing- looking individual, she asked, in an ated tone: Sir, do please tell me where is New York?” “1 said he, with the utmost it’s right at the top of those stairs."—Harper’s. Magazine, The Rewards of Punishment “ Doctor,” called the small boy, “come up to our house quick!” “Who is sick at your house?” doctor. Everybody but me. I'd been naughty, so they wouldn't give me any of the nice mushrooms pa picked in the woods.” —Ladics’ Home Journal. asked A PRIVATE APFAIR Lyric Bubbles There was a bird (A warbler, a thrush, a robin or a jay), And soft he sang (A tune, a lilt, a song or roundelay), And o'er the hill (The dell, the copse, the valley, dale or brush) His mate replied— (A warbler or a robin, jay or thrush). —Harvard Lampoon, The Three Parts Mr, Bryan says his next statement will be divided into three parts. In- stinetively we recall the announcement of a mountaineer preacher, who said to his flock: “Brethren, I hev decided t° divide my sermon in three parts. Th’ fust part Tl understand an’ you won't. TH second part you'll understand an’ I won't, Th’ third part nobody'll under- stand."—Montgomery Advertiser. Oxv Lavy: So you don’t like ‘er? Youncer Lavy: Like ’er?
