What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** with minimal editorial content. The dominant features are commercial advertisements for dry goods, foods, patent medicines, and clothing—typical of late-19th/early-20th century magazines. The one substantial editorial piece is a sentimental poem, "The Grapevine Swing" by Samuel M. Peck, depicting nostalgic memories of childhood on a Southern plantation. The poem romanticizes antebellum life with imagery of swinging from vines, mocking-birds, and carefree youth—reflecting the Lost Cause mythology popular in that era. A brief anecdote about a Boston businessman losing $10,000 in bonds illustrates careless financial management. The page contains **no political cartoons or satirical content**—it's essentially a commercial-heavy issue typical of Judge's revenue model, with poetry and light humor filling space around paid advertisements.

When T was a boy on the old plantation, Down by the deep bayou— ‘The fairest spot of all creation, Under the arching blue— When the wind came over the cotton and corn, To the long slim loop I'd spring, With brown feet bare, and a hat-brim torn, ‘And swing in the grapevine swing. Swinging in the grapevine swing, Laughing where the wild birds sing— I dream and sigh For the days gone by, Swinging in the grapevine swing. Out—o’er the water-lilies bonnie and bright, Back to the moss-grown trees ; I shouted and laughed with a heart as light Asa wild rose tossed by the breeze. ‘The mocking-bird joined in my reckless glee, T longed for no angel's wing ; I was just as near heaven as I wanted to be, Swinging in the grapevine swing! Swinging in the grapevine swing, Laughing where the wild birds sing— Oh, to be a boy, With a heart full of joy, inging in the grapevine swing. T'm weary at morn, I'm weary at night, I'm fretted and’ sore of heart ; And care is sowing my locks with white, As [wend through the fevered ma I'm tired of the world, with its pride and pomp, And fame seems a worthless thing ; T'd barter it all for one day's romp, And a swing in the grapevine swing. Swinging in the grapevine swing, Laughing where the wild birds sing~ I would I were away From the world to-day, Swinging in the grapevine swing. —Samuel M. Peck in Times- Democrat, Do not let any prejudice stand in the way of giving | the incomparable Premigre Qualité Cigarette a trial, It is told of a prominent business-man of the city, says the Boston Courier, that he bought through a bro- ker bonds to the amount of $10,000, and on receiving them put them into the outside pocket of his overcoat, walked to the head of Milk street, where he became en= tangled in a crowd and had the bonds stolen. All this was only a somewhat exaggerated case of carelessness, but what followed showed that the man was a philoso- pher, The usual steps were taken to discover and re- cover the missing securities, but when some days had passed without any clew the owner began to conclude that he should never hear of them. ‘* Weil,” he remarked to his broker one day when he had dropped in to in- quire whether anything had been heard of the stolen securities and his question had been answered in the negative, “‘there’s one thing about it; all I lose is the interest of the money.” ‘The interest of the money hy, you have lost the princi. pal, too, haven't you?” ** Oh, not at all,” was the repl: my heirs lose that. When times are hard and trade is dull ‘The merchant then who wise is Doth not sit down to scratch his skull While he a scheme devises His trusting creditors to gull, But straightway advertises. ‘Then comes a sudden boom to trade, And presto, change, his fortune’s made. —Boston Courier, In tents how sweet to while away ‘The hours in dreamy sense ; Tn summer time there's naught'so gay, The pleasure is intense. But when, at night, swept by the gale, ‘The tent a-tumbling goes, ‘The campers then their lot bewail While scrambling for their clothes, —Boston Budget, ‘The melancholy days have come, ‘The days of yellow shoes ‘The sun does all the ‘shining " now, And bootblacks have the blues. —Yenowine's N It is unkind to make jest of aerial navigation before inventors of air-ships.
