Current History in Caricature. 



■■() «ad some power the .yiftie ;_iie us. 

 To see ourselves as itlicrs see us."--l!ri:NS. 



The first tiling which is noticeable about the car- 

 toons this montli is that "F.C.G/' is away on his 

 hohdays. The humour of the month would be poor 

 indeed sometimes without the inimitable cartoonist 

 of the ll'estninistcr Gazette. One of the best poli- 

 tical cartoons in Puneh is reproduced in the " Pro- 

 gress of the World.' It depicts Dr. Clifford and 

 Lord Hugh Cecil as Ijrother Passive Resisters in 

 the stocks. 



The meeting of Kaiser and King at the Castle of 

 Cronberg has, of course, furnished material for the 

 caricaturists, and the picture of William II. in 

 Scotch kilts, reproduced from the Italian Pasquino, 

 is verv funny. Mr. Bryan's campaign for the Pre- 



sidency will furnish many a subject during the next 

 few weeks, but the one we publish is excellent. 



Puck represents the Democratic leader as the 

 Knight of the Swan, Miss Democracy, of course, 

 appearing as Elsa. The Roosevelt cartoon in Judge 

 is good, but the artist was lacking in humour when 

 he labelled his fourth card, seeing that it was the 

 knave. For the rest the Revolution in Russia is 

 still the most fruitful theme in the work of the 

 Continental caricaturist. 



The reform movement in 

 comes in for some comment, 

 charges of bribery in connection with the famous 

 betting appeal cases. Puncli cari(~atures what it calls 

 my " recklessness," evidently chagrined, like some 

 sections of the press, at its failure to make me " say 

 something," forgetting that it is not the press that 

 is fighting the battle of reform. In spite, however, 

 of attempts at ridicule, the movement progresses 

 merrilv.

The Abashed Pirate— A Tragedy ia Two Views. 

 I have noticed, too. with much ple.a8ure that when a juvenile conies before the Children's Court no glowing ac- 

 count of his escapade appears in the daily press. He is no longer the hero he used to be. He cannot cut the para- 

 graph from the paper now, and carry it in his hat for weeks to show admiring companions and awaken in them a 

 desire to emulate his (what they consider) heroism. — From the report of a A'.S.IV. Uefonnatory. 



View I. — This is what Jocelyn Jones imagined would 

 usher in his career of crime. 



View II — And this was the unimpressive reality. Jocelyn 

 Jones has now decided not to be a pirat«. There's no lime- 

 light in the business.
