This page contains advertisements and serialized fiction rather than political cartoons. The main content is a story titled "Her wooing was like the first love story," which presents a romantic narrative about two young people raised in isolation on a desert island who meet at age twenty, experiencing primitive courtship and conflict over a doll-woman made from wood and rags. The page also advertises sex education books by Dr. Stall ("What a Young Boy Ought to Know," etc.) and promotes subscription offers to *Metropolitan* and *McClure's* magazines, claiming they provide free books including stories by Morgan Robertson. A side story by Thomas L. Masson depicts businessmen conducting a deal in a graveyard who are interrupted by a cemetery official demanding they leave unless they own a plot—apparently satirizing the commercialization of even sacred spaces. The *Luden's* cough drops advertisement appears unrelated to the editorial content.
