The Bicycle Age Begins

Inside:  WJ Bryan and the poets; At least Bryan is whittling Tammany hall down; Du Maurier dies and Life mourns;  It is nice to see women taking up golf; What would McKinley look like with popocratic beard and Wall street growth of sideburns? Centerfold is a great view of Uncle Sam wishing ferrymen Democrats heavily weighted down with silver and GOP heavily weighted down with trusts and tariffs - He doesn't know which one to take; Princeton is 150 years old; Carnival ring toss cartoon.  ads. Lots of other items.

This original magazine is well illustrated with humorous sketches as well as serious issues of the day. Stereotypical views of Irish, Jews, Chinese and Black. Indians were treated the same but sympathetically. Beautiful women grace its pages. These were purchased from the original accountants years ago and are uncirculated.
