What you’re looking at

This page from *The Wasp* contains two sections: a political article about Robert Morrow's trial at Sonoma and a satirical illustration titled "Little Puss." The text discusses accusations of forgery and fraud against Morrow, praising Dr. McDonald's integrity while criticizing the San Francisco Gas Company's conduct. The article also defends McDonald's character against public scandal, noting he was never actually charged with writing the forged documents himself. The illustration "Little Puss" depicts a young child (likely a girl) holding a rifle or long gun. Without additional context from the article or caption, the specific satirical point remains unclear—it may be commenting on childhood innocence, gun ownership, or a contemporary social issue, but the IMAGE alone doesn't definitively establish the intended target or message.
