What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. It contains department store and clothing advertisements for establishments like Arnold, Constable & Co., R.B. Macy & Co., and H. O'Neill & Co., featuring women's fashions (hats, cloaks, millinery, silks, ribbons). The only editorial content is a column of brief humorous observations about contemporary life—topics like a widow in Ottawa, New York's governor, a photographer's picture frame, church donations, and newspaper anecdotes. These are **light social commentary** rather than partisan political satire, typical of Puck's miscellaneous humor sections. The page includes one small decorative illustration (a "Cashmere Hat Manufacturer" logo), but contains no significant political cartoons or caricatures requiring historical context.

Suoutp the people of Leadville ever run short of bullet material, they might start a crematory and sift the ashes.— Rochester Ex- press. How is that lone Lorne widower gettin, up at Ottawa, We don’t hear much about him. Is he kilt entirely2?—. Y. Commercial Adver- iser. Wikis is sure there are persons that it is not safe to hold out the olive branch of peace to, unless you have a club in the other hand. —Turners Falls Reporter.

THE newspapers are marvelling at a clergy- man who resigned a $10,000 pulpit in New York to accept a $3,000 salary in Massachu- setts. Probably the church which asked him to resign don’t marvel so much,— Zurners Falls Reporter. A CABLE dispatch from Constantinople szys: “It is expected that the Sultan will shortly issue a hatt,” etc, It is suspected that the Sultan lost a ‘‘hatt” on the Pennsylvania elec- tion—but what a ridiculous way to spell hat!— Norristown Herald, You never see a woman button anything that she can pin, and you never see a man pin anything that he can tie with astring. You would have trouble making some men believe that they couldn’t tie a button-hole into a wrist- band with a piece of twine-string— Hawkeye. Littie three-year-old, looking out of the window, saw a lady of Indian extraction go by. “It is a squaw," said his mother. “Then,” said little three-year-old, after a pause of re- flection, ‘‘there must be some Indian summer around here? Whereupon he was put to bed. —Buffalo Express. Mrs. Hitippisos was in fearful distress the other evening. ‘Oh, dear!” she cried, “my new hat is spoiled, utterly ruined! The rim is all flattened out and the crown robbed of all its wavy capriciousness! Oh, dear! Oh, dear!” But her grief was suddenly turned to joy when she discovered it was only John’s hat; after all. It looked all right to him. What is hat for the gander is not hat for the goose. | —Boston Transcript. R.H. MACY & CO. 14th Street and 6th Avenue.
