What you’re looking at

This page contains several satirical humor pieces typical of early 20th-century American magazines: **"A Corner in Ice"** depicts a gentleman disputing an inflated restaurant bill for champagne and dinner, objecting to being charged for ice. The satire mocks expensive dining establishments that nickel-and-dime customers. **"He Wanted Law"** presents a janitor and lawyer discussing mules, satirizing overblown legal language and pretension. **"Sent Them All to the Bottom"** critiques a schoolteacher who punished students harshly for mistakes, with the joke being overly severe discipline. The remaining content is primarily **advertisements** for clothing, patent medicines (Dr. Parker's Cough Cure), and mining company stock offerings—typical commercial matter interspersed throughout satirical magazines to fund publication.
