What you’re looking at
This page contains several unrelated humorous sketches typical of Judge's satirical style: **"Heart's Alley"**: A man reminisces about a romantic encounter from 1860, but the woman—now wealthy and respectable—dismissively recalls he got "bowled" (defeated/rejected). **"His Honor Touched"**: A horse-dealer testifies in court, denying ambiguity while ironically contradicting himself about never owning thoroughbreds. **"The Rule That Worked Both Ways"**: A magistrate traps a drunk defendant—the man claims he drinks only to forget, but the judge retorts he never forgets to drink. **"An Unappreciated Crook"**: An Irish woman receives a Directoire parasol as a gift but dismissively suggests a Harlem goat could destroy it. **"So Runs the World Away"**: Society women fret over fashion details (a bow's unbecomingness) while missing genuine tragedies. **"Fully Preoccupied"**: A man seems reserved because he's engaged to three different women simultaneously. These are light, domestic humor pieces with no apparent political content—standard Judge fare targeting romantic absurdities and social pretension.
