What you’re looking at

This page contains three separate humor items rather than cartoons: **"The Caddie's Suggestion"**: A clergyman at St. Andrews golf course gets stuck in a bunker called "Hell," makes a successful shot, then asks his caddie for praise. The caddie's response—"tak yer niblick wi' yer"—is a Scottish dialect punchline suggesting the clergyman should use better equipment or technique next time. The joke mocks pompous self-congratulation. **Untitled Poetry Section**: A brief exchange about a woman's "figure" valued at "one hundred thousand," likely satirizing either celebrity endorsements or wealthy marriages. **"Too Late"**: A reporter arriving at a murder scene finds the "murder's been done"—a simple wordplay joke about arriving after events have concluded. These are lighthearted, mild satirical humor pieces typical of 1920s-era American magazines, with no apparent political commentary.
