What you’re looking at

This page contains three separate text pieces rather than political cartoons: 1. **"The Drum"** - A patriotic poem by James Whitcomb Riley celebrating American military heritage, referencing the Revolutionary War ("blood he spilled at Lexington"). 2. **"A New Lincoln Story"** - An anecdote about Abraham Lincoln discussing proper leg length with companions Douglas and Lorejoy, presented as folksy humor. 3. **"Life Among the Sioux"** - A travel narrative describing Native American customs, women's clothing, and Sioux tribal life, reflecting late-19th-century ethnographic interest. The remaining pieces ("Native Pride," "Is Marriage a Failure?," "Realization," "Couldn't Do Everything," and "Knew How It Was Himself") are short satirical fiction pieces on various social topics. This is primarily a **text-based page** with no visible political cartoons or caricatures.
