# The Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page is primarily **advertising**, with only brief humorous sketches providing satirical content. The main cartoon content appears to be short anecdotes rather than visual cartoons: 1. **The Studenheimer obituary sketch**: A German-immigrant clothing merchant asks his employee to place a death notice for his father, but casually instructs him to keep the store open and mark up pants prices during the funeral. The satire mocks commercial greed and the callousness of business owners who prioritize profit over mourning. 2. **The fat man and the bull**: A self-important man claims he can't run until forced to do so by danger, satirizing how people overestimate or underestimate their capabilities until necessity proves them wrong. The page's content is dominated by product advertisements (Benson's Capcine Plasters, billiard tables, furniture) typical of Judge's revenue model. The satirical humor is mild and relies on ethnic stereotypes (the German dialect) and common observations about human nature rather than specific political events.

THE JUDGE: 15 7 REASONS BENSON'S CPCI PLUSTERS SHOULD BE PREFERRED OVER ALL OTHER FAMILY MEDICINES. First—CLEANLINESS IN USE ; they aro to im- measurably neater and cleaner in use, and eo much more pow fal, quicker and eficecions in removing ailments, than al- ments, medicated oll, ealves, pads of every description, olnt- ments and lotions, that the first reason should induce the public to prefer thom, Second—INEXPENSIVENESS ; withoat exception It fs the cheapest meritorious household ‘remedy ever com- pounded. . Third—They are a great and necessary improvement on the low action of Iodia Rubber Por eddition thereto, nexcly incorporated ective vegctatie therapeutle agents, which ect speelatly with an increased rubefacleat, atim- ‘lating, strengthening, sedative and counter-trritant effect, Fourth—Thelt cetlon is more vigorous than electricity, and sa local remedy they are more powerful and penetrating. Fif h—One Benson's Capcine Porous Plas- ter will effect more than the use of a dozen of any other brand. Sixth—They will quickly curo allments that other remedics, after continaoas use and wear, fall to relieve. Seventh—Phyeicians preseribe them for their patients, pre- ferring them to any other poross which alone fs over- whelming proof of their value and superior merit, CAUTION. Bee that the word CAPCINE is cut in the Plaster. Take no other. Price 25 Cents. SEABURY & JOHNSON, Pharmaceutical Chemists, A. Srupexmemen, of the Chatham street clothing house of A. Studenbiemer & Co., came into the shop with a very serious air the other morning. ‘ Any- think the matter, Mr. Studeuhiemer?” asked the head salesman, “Yes, Mr. Chones," said the principal, taking out his pocket handkerchief. “+I lost my fader last night; T haf not feel a0 bad since dat veller valked out of de shtore mit a new guit of clothes and four dollars change in de bocket for a bad dwenty dollar bill he gif us.

Or course I like to see athletic sports,” said the stout man to his friend as they trudged across a ten- ‘acre lot, “but I couldn't run any more than I could fly, Now, if—” Just then a wild bull came tearing down towards them at the-rate of fifty miles a minute, and two pair of heels immediately began kicking up clods so fast that thoair seemed full of them. After the fat man landed on the other side of the fence and mopped his burning brow, he remarked: "No man knows what he can do till he has to."—Hackensack Republican.
