_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._

THANKSGIVING BY ENTERTAINING THE DANCING CLUB
[Illustration: 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.

A PICTORIAL SERMONETTE
THE WOMAN WHO TELLS HER HUSBAND ALL HER PETTY TROUBLES
[Illustration: “_I tell you, it’s a relief to get home after a long,
hard day of work and worry at the office._”]
[Illustration: “_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._”]
[Illustration: “_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._”]
[Illustration: “_Great Scott! I guess I’ll have to go down to the office
again to-night._”]
A PICTORIAL SERMONETTE
[Illustration: “_Half-past four--and Johnny not here yet. I wonder what
can keep him so long?_”]
[Illustration: “_Supposing he has been skating and has broken through
the ice!_”]
[Illustration: “_Or maybe he has been run over by a trolley car!_”]
[Illustration: “_Oh, I know something dreadful has happened to him. I
just know they’ll soon be bringing him home._”]
[Illustration: _But, as usual, there was nothing whatever the matter
with Johnny._]
A PICTORIAL SERMONETTE
THE MAN WHO HAD NO RIGHT TO TALK
[Illustration: 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._”]
[Illustration: 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._”]
[Illustration: 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._”]
A PICTORIAL SERMONETTE
ON THE IMAGINATIVE MAN WHO WORKS HIMSELF INTO A PASSION BECAUSE HE
THINKS SOME ONE MAY INSULT HIM
[Illustration: “_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._”]
[Illustration: “_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._”]
[Illustration: “_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!_”]
[Illustration: _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
[Illustration: 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._”]
[Illustration: “_Oh, Mrs. Topnotcher, what a beautiful tapestry that is
over there!_”]
[Illustration: “_And what a lovely chandelier you have._” (_Aside._) “_I
hope that old man has not recognised me._”]
[Illustration: _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._]
MR. LUGUBRIOUS BLUE AND MR. SMILEY GLADD ON THE VENEZUELAN SITUATION
[Illustration: 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._”]
[Illustration: 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._”]
[Illustration: 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._”]
[Illustration: 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._”]
A CARIBBEAN SCHÜTZENFEST
OR, THE SHIP THAT WAS MUCH THE WORSE FOR WAR
[Illustration: “_Ach, Himmel, this monotony is deadly. Nichts komme
raus; or, in other words, there’s nothing doing in war circles._”]
[Illustration: “_While we’re waiting, let’s heave a few twelve-pounders
over in that Venezuelan fort. Let’s wake ’em up a little._”]
[Illustration: “_By the way, gunner, see if you can shoot the
mizzen-mast off of that mule over yonder._”]
[Illustration: _But at that moment the Venezuelans woke up, and the
Schützenfest was all over._]
SHERLOCK HOLMES ANALYZES A PERFECT STRANGER
[Illustration: SHERLOCK HOLMES--“_Ah, a stranger whom I’ve never seen
before._”]
[Illustration: “_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?_”]
[Illustration: “_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?_”]
[Illustration: “_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._”]
THE SYMPATHETIC COAL DEALER AND THE MAN WHO HAD TO HAVE A TON OF COAL
[Illustration: SYMPATHETIC COAL DEALER--“_I’m terrible sorry your family
is suffering, but I haven’t an ounce of coal that isn’t contracted
for._”]
[Illustration: “_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._”]
[Illustration: “_Oh, your sad story overwhelms me with grief and I wish
to express my deep sympathy._”]
[Illustration: “_I’ll send the coal right down. If you need any more
just let me know._”]
DOES THE END JUSTIFY THE MEANNESS?
[Illustration: THE COAL OPERATOR--“_Honestly, I hate to see all this
suffering upon all sides--_”]
[Illustration: “_But, Great Scott, just see how much money I’m making!
I’ll soon have enough to endow a college._”]
THE COAL INVESTIGATION
[Illustration: 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?_”]
[Illustration: “_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?_”]
[Illustration: “_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._”]

contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate

Defect you cause.
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.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary

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.
