CONCERNING
MR. McCUTCHEON’S CARTOONS
THOSE who have studied and admired Mr. McCutcheon’s cartoons in the
daily press doubtless have been favorably impressed by the two eminent
characteristics of his intent. First, he cartoons public men without
grossly insulting them. Second, he recognizes the very large and
important fact that political events do not fill the entire horizon of
the American people. It has not been very many years since the newspaper
cartoon was a savage caricature of some public man who had been guilty
of entertaining tariff opinions that did not agree with the tariff
opinions of the man who controlled the newspaper. It was supposed to
supplement the efforts of the editorial in which the leaders of the
opposition were termed “reptiles.”
¶ The first-class, modern newspaper seems to have awakened to the fact
that our mundane existence is not entirely wrapped up in politics. Also,
that a man may disagree with us and still have some of the attributes of
humanity.
¶ In Mr. McCutcheon’s cartoons we admire the clever execution, and the
gentle humor which diffuses all of his work, but I dare say that more
than all we admire him for his considerate treatment of public men and
his blessed wisdom in getting away from the hackneyed political subjects
and giving us a few pictures of that every-day life which is our real
interest.

Mrs. Smiley W. Greene, Wife of the Popular Undertaker, celebrates
Thanksgiving by entertaining the Dancing Club
The Dancing Club met at the home of Mrs. Smiley W. Greene
on Thanksgiving evening. A full quota of our fellow townsmen attended
and all agreed on parting that a most enjoyable time was had. Mrs.
Greene was beautifully gowned in a blue and white creation trimmed with
sprays of immortelles. Elegant refreshments were served and the occasion
was rendered quite Bohemian in character by the presence of our talented
local artist, E. Milton Brown of the Bird Center Tintype Studios. Rev.
Walpole and family dropped in for a few moments during the early part of
the festivities.
ADDITIONAL SOCIETY NOTES.
Chris C. Newbower was also among those present at Mrs. Smiley W.
Greene’s dancing club entertainment. Chris says that he is not much of a

THE WAR MANŒUVRES, THE GALLANT GENERALS, AND THE ARMY MULES WHO DID NOT
KNOW THAT IT WAS ALL IN FUN
Shortly after luncheon the enemy’s fleet was sighted
stealthily approaching by sea.
Whereupon a terrific battle occurred which lasted two
hours; and the fleet, being sunk, annihilated, and blown to atoms
(constructively),
Departed, leaving the army victorious, with but two
constructive casualties.
Every battery at the fort was worked with terrific
effect.
{151}{150}
THE NAVAL MANŒUVRES AT NEWPORT
“The enemy’s fleet has been sighted off the starboard
quarter, sir.”
“Call all hands to quarters! Clear ship for action!”
“This reminds me of Santiago.”
“The Duchess of Marlborough is alongside in her dinghy,
sir.”
“Pass the word to cease firing, and have Her Grace come aboard.”
“Ah, delighted, Your Grace. I hope this noise hasn’t
annoyed you.{153}{152}”
DECORATION DAY
“Don’t cry, Grandma. You’ll see him again sometime.{155}{154}”
THE INGLORIOUS FIFTH
{157}{156}
JUST BEFORE THANKSGIVING DAY
JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS
“Ah, I see quite a number of new faces here to-day.{161}{160}”
HAVE YOU EVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE?
Mr. Manshopper—“I’ve discovered the great secret of
Christmas present buying. First decide positively what you want to buy,
then decide on the price you want to pay, and then go and buy it.”
“I think I like that bowl better than the vase or the
inkstand.”
Chorus of Admiring Feminine Voices—“Oh, isn’t that a
perfectly lovely pitcher! Oh, isn’t it too lovely for anything!”
Mr. Manshopper after having purchased a present for his
wife’s writing desk.

A PICTORIAL SERMONETTE
The Woman who tells her Husband all her Petty Troubles
{164}
“I tell you, it’s a relief to get home after a long,
hard day of work and worry at the office.”
“Oh, William, I’ve had such a dreadful day to-day! First
it was one thing and then another. I just know the grocer overcharged me
on that yeast I bought yesterday; and the baby cried nearly an hour this
afternoon, and the bread burned, and the dog chewed up one of your
slippers, and the roof leaks, and the hall carpet is wearing out.”
“And you must punish Willie. I can’t do a thing with him
any more. He insists on being a pirate when he grows up, and he knows
well enough that we want him to be a doctor. And we really must have a
new hall carpet, and you must see about the roof, and be sure to see the
grocer about the yeast.”
“Great Scott! I guess I’ll have to go down to the office
again to-night.”
{165}
A PICTORIAL SERMONETTE
“Half-past four—and Johnny not here yet. I wonder what
can keep him so long?”
“Supposing he has been skating and has broken through
the ice!”
“Or maybe he has been run over by a trolley car!”
“Oh, I know something dreadful has happened to him. I
just know they’ll soon be bringing him home.”
But, as usual, there was nothing whatever the matter
with Johnny.
{167}{166}
A PICTORIAL SERMONETTE
The Man who had no Right to Talk
At Eight O’Clock—“Why, take a night like this, with the
thermometer below zero, the suffering among the poor is simply terrible.
Somebody ought to take them coal barons out and string ’em up to the
nearest lamp-post.”
At Eleven O’Clock—“I tell you, gentlemen, it’s an
infamous outrage. Just think of the suffering among the helpless poor.
It makes me mad to think of it. I wish I was President for about fifteen
minutes—you’d see some of them villains in the coal trust pay for their
confounded heartlessness.”
At Twelve O’Clock—“Well, I’ve got to be going, for I’ve
got a twelve-mile drive and it’s bitter cold to-night. I pity the poor
people who have no coal on a night like this.{169}{168}”
A PICTORIAL SERMONETTE
On the Imaginative Man who works himself into a Passion because he
thinks Some one may insult him
“I wonder if he will remember me after all these years.
Maybe his prosperity has changed him so that he will pretend to forget
the old school-days.”
“Well, if he tries the haughty act with me there’ll be
trouble. I won’t allow any man to insult me. It would be an outrageous
way to treat an old friend.”
“And I’m too proud to stand for it a minute! I’ll mop up
the floor with him! I’ll show him that I’m as good as he is, even if he
is rich. Confound him, I’ll leave this beastly hole rather than be
humiliated that way!”
As a matter of fact Mr. Scadsworth was delighted to see
his old friend.

A PICTORIAL SERMONETTE
One of the Perils of those Whose Positions in Society are not Secure
Mr. Snobbly (aside)—“Great Scott, there’s that man who
spoke to me at the hotel. I wonder how he broke in here. I hope he
doesn’t speak to me right here before Mrs. Topnotcher.”
“Oh, Mrs. Topnotcher, what a beautiful tapestry that is
over there!”
“And what a lovely chandelier you have.” (Aside.) “I
hope that old man has not recognised me.”
As a matter of fact, old Mr. Bullion didn’t know Snobbly
was on earth. He merely came over to speak to his old friend, Mrs.
Topnotcher, with whom he spent a week at a house-party in Windsor Castle
as the guest of King Edward.
{173}{172}
MR. LUGUBRIOUS BLUE AND MR. SMILEY GLADD ON THE VENEZUELAN SITUATION
Mr. Gladd—“Well, I see there’s another little scrap
down in Venezuela.”
Mr. Blue—“Little scrap, nothing. It’s the beginning of a terrible war
between the United States and Europe.”
Mr. Gladd—“Oh, I think they’ll adjust the trouble
before long.”
“Now, you mark my words. Inside of three months we’ll have to defend
the Monroe Doctrine against England and Germany.”
Mr. Gladd—“Oh, dear me, you don’t think it’s so serious
as all that, do you?”
“Listen. I’ll tell you just what will happen. England and Germany will
fight Venezuela for a week or two, then demand eight hundred million
dollars indemnity and refuse to leave till they get it. Uncle Sam’ll
say, ‘clear out,’ and then look out for something doing in war
circles.”
Mr. Gladd—“Oh, I’m sure they’ll patch it up all
right.”
“Just you wait. We’ll have a war that will be the most dreadful one
that ever happened.{175}{174}”
A CARIBBEAN SCHÜTZENFEST
Or, the Ship that was much the Worse for War
“Ach, Himmel, this monotony is deadly. Nichts komme
raus; or, in other words, there’s nothing doing in war circles.”
“While we’re waiting, let’s heave a few twelve-pounders
over in that Venezuelan fort. Let’s wake ’em up a little.”
“By the way, gunner, see if you can shoot the
mizzen-mast off of that mule over yonder.”
But at that moment the Venezuelans woke up, and the
Schützenfest was all over.
{177}{176}
SHERLOCK HOLMES ANALYZES A PERFECT STRANGER
Sherlock Holmes—“Ah, a stranger whom I’ve never seen
before.”
“How do you do, sir. I observe that you are in the coal
trust; also that you have just had a narrow escape; that you have no
children; that you were in a great hurry this morning; that you have
been writing, and that you shaved with your left hand this morning. Are
you going away on the afternoon or the evening train?”
“Why, this is simply marvelous, Mr. Holmes. Everything
you’ve said is true. How in the world did you find out all these things
about a man you’ve never heard of before?”
“By a very simple process of deduction. I can tell by
your hands that you are in a trust, and I know it was the coal trust by
the hungry way you looked at my purse there on the table, and by the
fact that you glanced apprehensively around you as if expecting some one
to hit you with a club. I knew that you had just had a narrow escape, by
the fact that three bricks grazed you, and the brick dust is still on
your coat. You have no children, for if you had you would have some
consideration for poor people who have children. I knew that you
expected to take a journey, because I understand the grand jury is in
session. I also knew that you had shaved with your left hand because
your face is cut, and there is ink on your right forefinger, showing
that you were writing out an order to whoop the price of coal while
shaving with your left. You were in a hurry, because you had time to
have only one shoe polished. It’s all very simple.{179}{178}”
THE SYMPATHETIC COAL DEALER AND THE MAN WHO HAD TO HAVE A TON OF COAL
Sympathetic Coal Dealer—“I’m terrible sorry your family
is suffering, but I haven’t an ounce of coal that isn’t contracted
for.”
“Oh, it breaks my heart to hear that your children are
suffering and if I had any coal to spare I’d let you have it.”
“Oh, your sad story overwhelms me with grief and I wish
to express my deep sympathy.”
“I’ll send the coal right down. If you need any more
just let me know.{181}{180}”
DOES THE END JUSTIFY THE MEANNESS?
The Coal Operator—“Honestly, I hate to see all this
suffering upon all sides—”
“But, Great Scott, just see how much money I’m making!
I’ll soon have enough to endow a college.{183}{182}”
THE COAL INVESTIGATION
The Chairman of the Committee to the Coal
Conspirator—“Now, answer me explicitly. What per cent of hydrogen does
the average ton of coal contain?”
“Now, do not attempt to equivocate or evade this
important question. If a ton of coal weighs a thousand pounds, how much
does a ton of anthracite coal weigh compared to the weight of a ton of
bituminous coal?”
“Do you or do you not know whether a ton of anthracite
coal dating from the paleozoic age burns more readily than a ton of
bituminous dating from the pre-glacial epoch? This has an important
bearing upon our investigation.”
The Committee submits its report.
