This page is primarily **advertisements and announcements** rather than satirical cartoons. The visible content includes: - A section titled "In Memoriam Brigham Young" announcing a reprint of a Puck cartoon depicting Young (the Mormon leader who died in 1877) and his "Mormon's Empty Pillow" - Multiple commercial ads for products like compressed yeast, printing inks, champagne, furniture, and portrait photography services - Notices about Puck's illustrated almanac and patent filing covers The page functions as a back-of-magazine advertising section with one editorial note commemorating a previously published cartoon about a historical religious figure. No active political satire is visible on this particular page.

THE late Raphael Semmes w was so bow-legged that he had to have his pantaloons cut out around a cart-wheel.— Hawkeye. “ MarriaGe" is liked by the Philadelphia critics. Now the first thing to do is to find out whether there is such a place as Philadelphia, | | | and the second, whether they grow critics there. —Evening Telegram. BrichaM Younc appeared to a medium the other day and remarke 1m “ It’s pretty hot here, but nothing like it was in Salt Lake when I bought Amelia that seal-skin sacque, and left the rest to turn their last year’s alpaca.”"— Brookville Jeffersonian. Ir is announced that Mr. C. H. Morgan, the catcher and captain of the Yale University base ball nine, has left college. We suspect he couldn’t learn anything more about base ball there, and didn’t think it worth while throwing | his time and money away on other studies.— Norr. Herald. SPARTANSBURG, S. C., boasts of a woman, 90 years of age, who recently walked a quarter of a mile to hear a funeral sermon. If this Spar- tan woman. requires that sort of mental pabu- lum her friends should read her a couple of pages from a London comic weekly, and thus obviate the necessity for her taking long walks in her old age.— Norristown Herald. Haves made a sad mess of a scriptural quota- tion at a recent camp-meeting. ‘There are some things in which editors excel kings. One of them is the instinct which induces a scribe to reach out his left hand for the testament while his pencil is nervously making the quotation marks before a Bible quotation.—Rhinebeck Gazelle. Says the St. Louis Journa/: ‘ A pair of boot- lasts have been made for Leonard Wilcox, of Rome, N. Y., who is seven feet in height and weighs 600 pounds. ‘The lasts are twenty-two inches in length, seven in height, and eighteen around the instep.” As a news item this isa gorgeous success, but as a statement of fact, it does not score one in a possible twelve thousand. —RKome Sentinel. Harper's Bazar says: ‘Ladies will wear camel’s-hair ulsters this winter.” We don’t like to dispute such an authority as the Bazar, but we'll bet Mr. Harper $500 we know one woman who will wear the same old eighty-five cent water-proof all winter long, unless her husband's lottery ticket catches a more Chris- tian number than noughty-nought hundred and noughty-nought, as it did last time.— Hawkeye. Aw exchange speaks of the ‘ Genesis of Mark Twain.” ‘Thought he was booked as a Levity- cuss,—Zoston Lost. Now look out for Numbers of jokes on this subject. But when a man chal- lenges you on a Job of this kind, it wouldn’t Deuteron—my—no.—W. ¥. Commercial, We should like to be cunning, too; but the fact is, our copy of Shakspeare has been hooked.— Rochester Democrat, Isn't it time we had an Exodus of such Paragraphs? — Fishkill Standard. It is. ‘The Acts of some ’graphers don’t Luke well in print.— Camden Post. We are glad to Mark Amos encouraging familiarity with Scrip- ture among paragraphers.—Kome Sentinel.
