What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and filler content**, not political satire. The dominant feature is a poem by Eugene Field titled "In Paris," a humorous tale about an American man's infatuation with a French waitress at Café Molineau. The joke's punchline: after he praises her as superior to American women, she reveals she's actually from Bangor, Maine—undermining his romanticized view of French femininity. The page is otherwise filled with period advertisements: Soden Mineral Pastilles (claiming to prevent influenza), Crosse & Blackwell jams, West Shore Railroad, and hotel listings. A brief note about Jaeger sanitary woolens discusses counterfeit products. The content reflects early 20th-century concerns (influenza remedies, travel advertising) and casual American attitudes toward French culture and women. There are no identifiable political figures or sustained satirical commentary—this represents Judge's typical mix of light humor and commercial content.

The Café Molineau is where A dainty little minx Serves God and man as best she can By serving meats and drinks, Oh, such an air the creature has, ‘And such a pretty face, I took delight that autumn night In hanging round the place. I know but very little French (Lhave not long been here), But when she spoke her meaning broke Full sweetly on my ear. ‘Then, too, she seemed to understand Whatever I'd to say, ‘Though most I knew was ‘' oony poo,” “Bong zhoor,"* and "' see voo play.” ‘The female wit is always quick, ‘And of all womankind "Tis here in France that you, perchance, "The keenest wits shail find; And here you'll find that subtle gift— ‘That rare, distinctive touch— (Combined with grace of form and face) ‘That glads men overmuch. **Our girls at home,” I mused aloud, “Lack either that or this— ‘They don’t combine the arts divine, As does the Gallic miss.

And then I praised her dainty foot In very awful French, And parleyvood in guileful mood Until the saucy wench ‘Tossed back her haughty auburn head ‘And froze me with disdain— “There are no flies on me,” said she, “For I come from Bangor, Maine.” Zugene Field, JAEGER SANITARY WOOLENS, The wonderful success of the sanitary woglens of the Jaeger system has naturally brought imitators in the field who cial for their underwear that it is all wool and "'as good as Jaeger’ A garment of this character was recently purchased by a repre- sentative of the Jaeger firm, who was assured that the article was ‘wool, warp and woof, or the money would be refunded, ete. (the usual lie). We witnessed a chemical test of the spurious goods and the real Jaeger article, and a piece of the latter, thrown into ‘4 solution of caustic soda, wholly disappeared in a few seconds, while the imitation left a patch of well-woven cotton net-work, about two-thirds of the original piece. The moral is that the Jaeger goods are the best, and the best is always the cheapest.

An indiscriminating exchange says of a divorce suit, “Two young ladies are named as co-respondents.” It is such careless use of English that has lent a charm and sweetness to the simple word “ woman." — New Haven Palladium, john | HAPPINESS ASSURED.
