What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and literary content** rather than political satire. The dominant elements are: **Literary Content:** A romantic poem titled "En Silhouette" by Ernest McCaffrey describes a man nostalgically recalling a waltz and a youthful sweetheart from dancing school, triggered by hearing the same music years later. **Advertisements:** The page features typical late-19th-century product ads: furniture (Derby Desks), patent medicines (Dr. Williams' Indian Pile Ointment), office supplies (pens), and safes (M. Clements). These ads reflect common commercial practices of the era. **Humor Snippets:** Small jokes appear, including one about a bachelor in Maine and another about a Canadian clergyman with multiple wives—light, cynical humor typical of Judge's style. The page contains **no identifiable political cartoons or caricatures**. It represents Judge functioning as a general-interest satirical magazine mixing literature, advertising, and miscellaneous humor rather than focused political commentary.

Down from the gates of dusk the night Falls in a flood o'er the sombre city, And [alone in my office read, Poring over a page of “Chitty,” When all at once from a room above Comes drifting in on my dreamy leisure A throb from the past that leaps like pain In an old-time waltz’s swaying measure. I know by the thrill that from me sprang, As a spark darts up from an ashen ember, “Tis the same refrain of long ago, The strain of all that I best remember ; Here in the grate a new light glows, ‘And memory weaves its boyhood fancies ; Tam going again to dancing school ‘As the old waltz down thro’ the distance dances. “Salute your partners "—"' balance all :” ** First four forward,” and ‘*down the middle ;” ‘The professor, too, in an anxious pose, ‘And the shrill, sweet notes from his ancient fiddle, “+ Swing corners" —"* promenade all "— ‘The ebb and flow of a tide of dancers, And the languorous fire of that slow waltz Flaming up in the gay waltz-lancers. I see but her ‘mid the many there, One, only one in the throng of faces, Memory’s touch with pencil swift One fair form to my vision traces— Pale and pure'are the primrose buds, But not so pure as my sweetheart’s glances ; ‘Turn back the leaves of a dozen years And who but she beside me dances ! Aye! sometimes yet will the hope of youth Bring again a mirage of glory ; Deep in the soul will come at times An echo faint of the old, old story ; 1 know not whether ‘tis sad or sweet, Nor whether it sends me pain or pleasure ; I know but this—I am listening To an old, wild waltz’s rhythmic measure. —Ernest McCaffrey.

In these days of competition an article must be, indeed, perfect, to excel. The unpar- alleled sales of the Sohmer during the past fully demon- strate the fact that it has achieved a reputation which promises to be as enduring as the love for music itself. Merit is always appreciated and meets its own reward ; and we are glad to know that the efforts of Sohmer & Co. to furnish a piano second to none in the world have | been crowned with unprecedented success. “Good morning, Mr. Good.
