He swears to his love

The Daily Republican (Monongahela, Pennsylvania), April 19, 1898 –

What is interesting about this little gag is how faithfully it was reproduced from the original:

The Chicago Tribune (Chicago, Illinois), January 22, 1898 –

22 Jan 1898, Sat Chicago Tribune (Chicago, Illinois) Newspapers.com

NB: Not all newspapers were as faithful with the X’s – some have fewer, some more, but not The Daily Republican.
