What you’re looking at
This page from Judge magazine (likely early 1900s) is primarily **advertising with brief satirical commentary** rather than political cartoons. The main content includes: **Satirical Sections:** - "Burdette" column: Humorous observations about generosity, parenting, and a tall tale about a duck finding gold - "Sarah and Her Cat": Mock-serious piece about actress Sarah Bernhardt, sarcastically "relieved" she didn't roast her cat (apparently a rumor damaging her reputation) - "About Women": Brief, dismissive quips mocking female behavior—typical of the era's condescending gender humor **Advertisements:** The page is dominated by product ads (Castoria, Packer's Tar Soap, Sohmer Pianos, Kodak cameras, perfume), reflecting Judge's revenue model. The humor relies on period-specific references (Bernhardt's notoriety, gender stereotypes) that require historical context. The "women" section exemplifies outdated sexist attitudes common to early 20th-century publications.

179 BURDETTE. “* Bob,” said a wise old West-Virginian to his improv- ident but generous brother, ‘you'll always have some money and you'll always be poor. If the whole world was a globe of gold and you owned it all and had hell to smelt it in you'd be poor.” Yes, indeed, Clara, it is the mild power which sub- dues, Gentle means ever accomplish more than harsh measures, One of these days you may be the mother of a family, and you will then learn that you can coax a baby to quietness and slumber with a spoonful of sooth- ing syrup, whereas to ladle him flatwise with a slipper will only make Rome howl for the rest of the night.” A farmer in Jamestown has discovered a gold mine on his farm. He killed a duck and found a lot of gold in its crop, and then remembered that he had seen the duck scratching in a certain gravel-bed. The discovery of gold inside the duck was a remarkable thing, but it doesn’t hold a candle to a duck that scratches in a gravel-bed for bugs and worms. If that Jamestown farmer will just keep an eye on his hens he will see one of them swimming around catching fish and thereby opening up a valuable trout-stream for him, When Baby was sick, wo gave her Castorta. When sho was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, When sho had Children, she gave them Castoria, SARAH AND HER CAT. Let all the people gladly shout ‘And make a joyful sound ; A fact has just been given out Of import most profound, ‘The better classes everywhere Will be rejoiced thereat, For Sarah Bernhardt now doth swear She did not roast her cat. ‘The world breathes easier to hear Her world-wide famous name At length is purified and clear Of all the burning shame.

ABOUT WOMEN, When a woman gets éross she gets cross at everybody, How soon a girl's capital I becomes a little i after marriage ! Smile at some women and they will tell you all the troubles they ever had. ‘That for which a woman should be consoled she is most often ridiculed—her homeliness. When a woman can wash flannels so that they will not shrink she knows enough to get married, A woman is never so badly in love that she does not try to find out the cost of her engagement-ring. One of your delicate women will never admit that she is hungry; she will say that she is feeling a little faint. As soon as a man gets the fire built and the room warm, his wife comes’ along and wants to ‘air the house.” ‘The devil has a particularly hot fire for the mother who wants to send her daughter husband-hunting at sixteen, You occasionally find a woman who thinks she is intellectual because she has a large number of cor- respondents, There is only one thing that pleases a woman more than to be referred to as a dove, and that is to hear a man referred to as the hawk. A woman never becomes so intelligent that she learns that it is no pleasure to others to hear her coax her children to speak a piece. ‘The question with the women : ‘'Is it better to marry aman who is thoughtless and leaves the door open be- hind him, or to marry a man who thinks to close the door but’ forgets to leave out the slam?"—Atchison Globe, Mns, Wixstow’s SootHInc Syrup for Children Teething ; soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic and diarrhoea, "25 cents a bottle.

TAKEN TO THE ZOO. “"Is this the place to come to in order to have a man sent to state prison?” mildly inquired a young man at the central station the other night. “It is,” replied the sergeant. “Very well; I desire to have a man sent for five years.” “* What's the case?” “Twas walking up a street down here when he me if I was a stranger here. Told him I was he asked me if I wanted to go to the zoo. He took me up and down and around and into a saloon, and then said: ** Behold the 200!" ‘But where's the animals?’ says I. *"*I'm the whole three hundred, elephant and all," says he, ‘and if you don't treat the crowd I'll break | loose and tear your shanty down.” “That's what he said, sir, and being as I was scared of my life, I treated the crowd to the tune of eighty | cents, Was it right, sir?” “Of course not.” : “That's what I thought to myself, sir, and if you will please send out and have the bulldozer sent to | state prison I shall be ever and ever so much obliged to you.
