What you’re looking at
This page contains three brief humorous pieces with no political cartoons: 1. **"In Good"**: A short joke about a woman named Grace with two suitors—a florist and candy store owner—competing for her affections. 2. **"How Otherwise?"**: A poem joking that Adam and Eve had "no Christmas" because they never experienced the modern trappings (socks, cards, etc.), yet "enjoyed" it anyway—satirizing consumer-driven Christmas commercialism. 3. **"Pat and Mike Stuff"**: A drunk Irishman stereotype humor piece where an inebriated man falls off a trolley car and, upon regaining consciousness, asks if anyone was hurt in "the wreck"—the punchline being his confusion and relief there was no actual wreck. The page reflects early-20th-century American magazine humor conventions.
