This page contains primarily **text content and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The main notable feature is "Carl Pretzel's Philosophy"—a humorous column written in exaggerated German-immigrant dialect, presenting folksy aphorisms. Pretzel appears to be an established recurring character in Judge. The philosophy sections offer satirical observations on everyday life ("Some fellers got blaindy sense, shtili don'd did hafe der abilidy to show eny of it"), likely mocking both pretentious philosophy and immigrant speech patterns through comedic dialect. The "Gazettelings" section contains brief satirical jokes on social topics: bureaucratic absurdity, rural naïveté, and gender dynamics (notably, a female poker player's cunning). **Advertisements dominate the lower half**: piano manufacturers (Sohmer), hat sellers (Youmans), cigars, and patent medicines—typical for this era's magazines. No significant political cartoons or caricatures appear on this particular page.

'* My family physician, sir, was the reply; “he told me it was absolutely necessary that I should have a little change.” I think, my friend, you are mistaken about Babbler, He has the reputation of being a man who keeps his word.” ** Of course he keeps his word.

The fair poker-player was pleased with the game, For the betting was free and the limit was high, Tut affected reluctance to bet all the same, And pushed in her chips with a bit of a sigh, Oh, this fair poker-player was wonderful sly ! ‘Then she looked on the pot with a smile that was bland, | Broke into a laugh when they made the last raise, Kaked the board with four aces she held in her hand, And then had a flush on her beautiful face. —New York Herald.

HUMBLINO AN AUTOCRAT. ‘The uutocrat bf the sea-side resort is not the man with his millions, but the hotel cook. ‘The clerk in the office may imagine that he owns most of the earth, and the head waiter may feel that he has a warranty deed of He is the unseen power behind the throne to which all bow. At our hotel the soup had invariably been seasoned so high with cayenne pepper that not one out of ten could more than taste it. The same was true of the deviled clams, One day I made a kick, and in five minutes I had half a dozen guests with me. We interviewed the landlord, and his reply was, "I have nothing to say about it.’ You must go to the chief cook.” We sought an interview with that magnate. He was a colored man with the dignity of a Roman senator. We made our complaint, and he replied, “I season dat soup an’ dem clams to suit my taste.”” ** But it doesn’t suit ours.”” Can't help dat, sah." “We want less pepper.” van't help dat.” Do you refuse to make a change?" “Tsartinly do, sah, I ‘lows nobody to tell me what to d We returned to the veranda and went into convention. Every minute added to our numerical strength, and in a quarter of an hour we numbered forty men. | Then it was unanimously Resolved, That if the cook refuses to use less pepper we seck some other hotel. Delegates were appointed to wait on the landlord, and he replied: ‘* Gentlemen, 1 am sorry; but I dare not interfere. Forty rooms were vacated, forty trunks packed, and then mine host wilted. He called in the cook, and though that individual attempted to stand on his dig- nity he had to wilt. By this time the excitement was intense, and had the forty gone they would have been followed by a hundred more. ** Less pepper !" was the watchword all over the house, and it meant a great deal to that landlord. We kicked, we saw, we conquered, and the next soup and clams exactly suited the popular taste. ‘The cook is still the unseen power behind the throne, but he has skipped a cog, and no one is afraid of him any longer.—Free Press.

It had rained all the long, dreary day, and little Lord | Fauntleroy's golden curls were bedraggled and wet, and his nice collar hung limp adown his slender shoulders when he came home at 4.15 and tossed his school-books at the cat which lay by the hearth. "Grandpa, she came to where the old man was quietly sitting, smoking and thinking, ‘1 thought all brides were of the female sex." “They are, child; they are. Why do you make such an odd remark?" ““Hecause, grandpa, in looking over my_geography- lesson T came upon the Hebrides. Are they female, too? And if so, why are they called *he'?" And the Tittle lord peered’ into his grandsire’s face with an anx- ious, eager look in his gobelin-blue eyes, which showed how great was his desire to be informed correctly. ; you weary me,” said the old man, And little Lord Fauntleroy crept sadly away, and did not smile again even once all the remainder of the day.

A turtle dated 1771 has turned up on the Massachu- setts coast. The turtle, instead of the lamb and the guinea-pig, might be used, perhaps, for compounding the elixir of life. —Chicago Herald. Some’ future Donnelly will doubtless discover erypto- grammatic evidence that Dr. Brown-Sequard was not the original discoverer of the ‘elixir of life’; that, in fact, the secret of the rejuvenating art was known to the ballet-girls many years before the venerable Sequard was born.—Chicago Inter-Occan. If Dr. Brown-Sequard’s elixir of life should fill the Dill, it will be rough on the undertakers. Still they may eke out a miserable existence as long as ice-cream and bad whisky are fashionable luxuries.— Chester Nevws. When what we now know as whisky was first distilled the chemist pronounced it the water of life, It has in- stead proved itself the bane of many a man’s existence, merciful to him only when it cut him off from a life which became a daily horror, Brown-Sequard’s fluid will have its run, and a disappointed but a credulous world will stand expectant of the next great discovery.— Chicago Times.
