What you’re looking at
This page is primarily advertising and humor content from Judge magazine (circa 1889 based on the postal card proposal date). There is **no significant political cartoon** on this page. The "FUN AND PHILOSOPHY" section contains brief, light jokes typical of 19th-century humor magazines—quips about weather bureaus, Arizona heat making hens lay hard-boiled eggs, Dr. Mary Walker (a real medical doctor and women's rights advocate), and observations about propriety. The rest of the page is advertisements for consumer goods: Scott's Emulsion (cod liver oil patent medicine), fabric shops, collars and cuffs, candy, Dr. Jaeger's woolens, and Knox hats. These were standard Judge magazine content. The only satirical element is gentle, non-partisan wordplay rather than political commentary. A modern reader would find mostly period advertisements and mild puns that don't require political or historical context to understand.

The wings of the house were surprised when the chimney-flue, Corn is an emblem of peace, but it is never appreci- ated until it gets on its ear. Water differs from a good many things in that it is highest when there is most of it. Real-estate agents and dealers in the same business—collecting rents. It is said all the husbands who go to Chicago after a divorce cross the cant-i-leav'er bridge. When a timid man asks a maiden to marry him he trembles, and if she consents he never quite gets over it. Continue to poke fun at the weather-bureau if you like, but hardly a day passes that it does not signal-ies itself. It has been so hot in Arizona, people had to feed their hens cracked ice to keep them from laying hard- boiled eggs. There are six mills in Lynn, Mass., that have not made one cent in three years. Naturally not. It takes ten mills to make one cent. Dr. Mary Walker says ‘‘it is hard to be a woman.” Pethaps so, Mary, but consider how much harder it would be if you were a man. That slippers are now made of paper, and shingles of stone, is, in the mind of the small boy, ample confirma- tion of the law of compensation, ‘The man who rises and gives a lady in a crowded car his seat can stand comforted with the assurance that every other man in the car is calling him blessed. —Bing- hamton Republican, ole clo’s” are in PROPOSALS FOR IMPROVED DESIGNS OF POSTAL CARDS.

When a young man gets married it is the greatest miss-take of his life.—Latorence American, After a man has been married a few years he never dodges when his wife throws anything at him.—£x, A man whose wife is not blessed with an especially mild temper says that he goes through his meals to the tune of ‘* Marching through Jawed-yer."— Washingfon Capital. It often happens that when a young man is dis- appointed in love he commits suicide. When he is disappointed in marriage he either ‘‘grins and bears it” or gets a divorce.—Norristown Herald.
