Found on the Library of Congress site.
I honestly think he had every right to do that in that situation. Kid aims a gun at you and gets a spanking? Kid got of light...
30It was surprising to see Everett say he didn't have the right to spank him when he beats the shit out of guys all the time with nary a thought.

Corporal punishment! Gun safety! Body shaming! Protecting migratory birds! These two panels cover a lot.
The page also has some other interesting stories.
- "Fierce Fight in a Saloon"
- Boxing rumors
- A story about the rehab of a racing horse
- An ad that carefully explains to rube readers how to use the ad: "Look at this Illustration and then we doubt If you can find any good excuse for not buying your new Winter Overcoat here especially in view of the fact that we'll agree to show you lots of garments that will look just as good to you as does this one In the picture."
- A story about cooks and waiters affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World going on strike in Nevada. "Proprietors are endeavoring to run the places with Japanese help... The strikers demand a 10 hour day and recognition of the union."
41500USD for land and a four-bedroom house?! That’s under 20k adjusted for inflation?!
11I love how the coat ad finishes with "we expect you in tomorrow". Talk about pushy!
