## 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 shining light in the social whirl.

Miss —— Barnard, of Xenia, Ohio, who has been visiting the Misses Niebling, has decided to remain here a week longer. Ah, there, R——y P——s.

## 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

## JUST BEFORE THANKSGIVING DAY

“Helping Mother{159}{158}”

## 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.

{163}{162}

## 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.

As a matter of fact Mr. Scadsworth was delighted to see his old friend.

{171}{170}

## 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.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
