What you’re looking at

This page contains multiple brief satirical items typical of Judge magazine's format: **"Not Entirely Settled"** depicts a domestic dispute: a man mentions his awkwardness encountering his divorced wife, and another responds that while they don't physically fight, her constant alimony demands make everyone uncomfortable. The satire targets messy divorces and financial disputes. **Joseph Jefferson reference** jokes that if the young Joseph (likely the famous 19th-century actor) had learned boxing, he'd deserve a college degree—satirizing both physical education and easy academic credentials. **The "Long-Felt Want Supplied"** cartoon shows traveling candy vendors, with humor in their sales pitch about interchangeable confections. **"Old Chocolate's Joco-Serious Chat"** presents dialect humor (common to the era, now offensive) offering folk wisdom about poverty, borrowing, and paying for experience. **"Easter Lilies"** is sentimental poetry about unrequited love. **"A Protectionist"** is a brief joke about book binding preferences—likely referencing tariff debates of the era. The page reflects Judge's mix of social commentary, domestic humor, and period-typical racial stereotyping.
