What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **advertising page** with one satirical piece. The main content is "A Bitter Disappointment," a short humorous story by Burdette (a known humorist of the era). **The Satire:** The joke mocks a self-important "leading American humorist" who patronizingly assumes a university graduate must be working menial jobs (waiting tables, driving wagons, pitching baseball). When the young man reveals he's actually been appointed managing editor of a major publication and is attending a professional convention, the humorist is so humiliated he dramatically "dies hard" on the beach. **The Point:** This satirizes the arrogance of established literary figures who underestimated younger talent, and the swift reversals of fortune in the competitive world of American journalism and publishing. The exaggerated ending ("died hard") is typical of Judge's comedic style. The rest of the page consists of period advertisements for hats, water, medical remedies, office equipment, and real estate—typical of 1880s magazines.

America is now excelling the foreign countries in the manufacture of gloves, especially in the finish and wearing qualities. The fact seems to be well known by our people, as they are now using the home manufact- ured glove more than ever before. In buying foreign gloves, you-have no redress when they prove poor, as is <0 often the case, but the home maker is glad to know of any defect, and ‘wants to replace anything that is not right and guard against it in the future The difference between the elevator and the toiling sufferer who pulls the rope is that one lifts the worker and the other works the lifter. —Somerville Journal. “Lord Dunmersey,” by Leander Richardson, is one of the latest novels, and is meeting with genuine suc- cess, LITTLE BLIZZARDS Suspicion makes many a square m and jealousy fattens on what is left.
