Er kommt über des Etten Casse, sieht Ducaten, nimmt, leckt und -- verschluckt einen! - 'O wai geschrien!' - Es wird Lärm in Hause; der Kremnitzer muss wider ins Tageslicht. Israelchen wird auf den Tisch gesetzt. Tate Baruch attaquirt in Front mit Rhabarber, während Memme Rachel mit Lavements in den Rücken fällt. Pefselche, Schmul und Löbche - der seinen neuen Rock aus alten Beinkleidern an hat - harren ängstlich der Wiedergeburt ihres R 5,30,, mehr werthen Bruders; und siehe, das Goldsöhnchen lässt sie nicht länger warten!

Caricature of Joseph Pulitzer published in the March 9, 1899, edition of Life. The associated article reads : "The editor of the World is known wherever bad English is read, and depraved minds everywhere hail him as a source of inspiration. He has probably done more harm to morals, and has fostered with more real persistency the rapid undergrowth of American degeneracy than any other living man. What he might say of Life is therefore of great interest : 'Don' speag to me of Life. Dot paper is der worst ever, ain't it? Ven de Sun un Churnal un udder file sheets gome out against me, I laf ha-ha! Vat does it madder? But Life! Dot paper goes to der very peoples dot I vould buy myselluf a place among, because of my monish, un day vill not have me, Hah! It has cut into my cirgulation also, un made me a laughing stock. It makes me sick. Speag to me not of Life.' Mr. Pulitzer's views, though not new, may well bear reiterating, showing, as they do, that no refined family of taste can afford not to take Life regularly. Contrast the shame-faced individual with some grains of self-respect left who stealthily endeavors to conceal a copy of the World from sight, and the proud bearing of the man who spreads his Life where all may see the company he keeps. Merely to be seen with a copy of Life is a good mind advertisement."

Caricature by Joseph Ferdinand Keppler published in the December 25, 1878, edition of Puck. The associated article reads : "It is to be regretted that Mr. Hilton is as unsuccessful as a dry-goods man and a hotel keeper as he notoriously was as a jurist. But the fact remains. He took it upon himself to insult a portion of our people, whose noses had more of the curvilinear from of beauty than his own pug, and he rode his high hobby-horse of purse-proud self-sufficiency until he woke up one day to find that the dry-goods business was waning—growing small by degrees and beautifully less. Then Mr. Hilton arouses himself. He turns his great mind from thoughts of the wandering bones of Stewart; he brings the power of his gigantic brain to bear upon the great question. ‘How shall I revive trade?’ He remembers that he had insulted the Jews. Aha! we’ll conciliate them. So out of the coffers that A. T. Stewart filled he gropes among the millions, and orders the trustees of a few Hebrew charities to bend the pregnant hinges of their knees at his door, and receive a few hundred dollars. But in this country the Jew is not ostracized. He stands equal before the law and before society with all his fellow-citizens, of whatever creed or nationality. And the Jew has stood up like a Man and refused to condone the gross and uncalled-for insults of this hap-hazard millionaire, merely because he flings the offer of a thousand dollars in their faces. All honor to the Jews for their manly stand in this instance. Trampled upon, scourged, banished as they have been for centuries under the ban of religious persecution, at last they find a land in which they have rights equal with all their fellow-countrymen. They have in this instance asserted their rights, and have dared to maintain their self-respect. It is the verdict of all thinking men that in everything he has done, from the Grand Union Hotel, and the Women’s Home, down to Stewart’s grave, Hilton has been a magnificent failure—and the Jews have won a grand success."

What should I do inside?" --Dame New-York: "So that to the gentlemen, who speak a lot, finally comes one for once, who merely acts."

Caricature by Emil Flohri published in Judge. The associated text reads : "The convention and fair which the federation of Jewish farmers held recently in New York, at the Educational Alliance, demonstrated that the Jew's entrance into the agricultural field has been marked by signal success. Ten years ago there were, perhaps, less than a hundred Jewish farmers scattered across the country. They produced no more than the bare rations of subsistence, living each day from hand to mouth, and trusting to the good graces of fortune for their continued support rather than to their own knowledge of the rules of farming. Today there are more than five thousand of them in the United States alone. The European figures run into tens of thousands. Each year this number increases. Men and women from the Ghettos of the big cities are beginning to appreciate the advantages of the independence of the farmer's life. They see that they can make a better living at agriculture than at their present occupations. They are combining with an increased knowledge of scientific farming a desire to succeed at this, their first productive venture."
