" 'Rich young squirts o' college fellers' "

From Overhauling the Politcianers by George S. Wasson in the August 1903 issue of The Century Magazine.

Detail of the above illustration. Not only is her pen line wonderful, but so are her portrait sketches.

" 'Show!' Repeated the sheriff" is another terrific characterization that is perfect for a George Savary Wasson story. Wasson was famous for his books about the Maine coast. His novel Cap'n Simeon's Store was very popular at the time this piece was published. Yellow tint block is my doing.
