What you’re looking at

This page contains various short satirical commentary pieces typical of Judge's "Hum of the Court" section, mixing social observation with gentle mockery. **Key satirical targets include:** - **Robert Bonner**: Praised as an early advertising innovator, suggesting others should learn from his example - **Democratic Party**: Mocked for failing to appreciate humor (likely James G. Blaine's wit) - **Baseball pitcher's superstition**: Ridiculed for asking God's help before pitching—criticized as "infernally practical faith" - **Women's resilience**: Humorously noted as exceptionally tough; a woman with seal-skin jacket and diamond earrings can survive harsh weather - **The legal system**: Sardonically observed that law "can do no wrong" because lower courts would face penitentiary charges if it could The two illustrations depict domestic/social scenes reflecting these observations. Overall, the page offers lighthearted social commentary on American manners, institutions, and absurdities—typical Judge magazine fare for educated, middle-class readers.

4 HUM OF THE COURT. This life is not so bad a life as some would like tomake it; depends upon the Curistaas JUDGE and the families that take it. Robert Bonner deserves to be remembered as the first publisher who, re- markable as it may seem, believed in the virtue of printer's ink as an adver- tising medium. Some of those people England say they cannot appreciate Blaine’s funny stories. There is a similar. of understanding on the part of the Democratic party of thiscountry, and it will never be any better.
