This page is **primarily advertising** with two brief humorous pieces. The main content includes: - **"In a Garden"**: A comedic poem about a city dweller who enthusiastically plants a garden expecting profits, only to encounter every agricultural disaster—drought, flood, pests, animals destroying crops—while ironically winning a prize for raising weeds. The satire mocks urban romanticism about farming and get-rich-quick schemes. - **"A Cheek of Adamant"**: A brief anecdote about a debt collector attempting to recover twenty dollars from a painter. The artist deflects by claiming he must prioritize paying for shoes on an installment plan rather than settling restaurant debts. The joke satirizes both artistic poverty and the absurdity of installment-plan consumer culture priorities. The remainder consists of hotel advertisements (Balmoral, Breslin, Glenham), wine promotions, and various commercial products—typical of Judge's advertising-heavy format from this era.

Before 1 made my garden, oh, I was a happy man: L read the seed-store catalogues and joyfully would ‘plan How lots of luscious vegetables I easily could raise, And figured up the profits that they say a garden pays. Of patent fertilizers, fancy garden-tools and seeds T bought about as many as a western farmer needs ; T hired men that wouldn't work, and, rising with the lark, I dug till time for business and finished in the dark, After I made my garden, ob, I was a woful ma; ‘The chickens scratched my pretty beds, the dogs upon them ran; ‘The cats pitched-battles on them fought, the cows ate all the corn, And a hog that tried to bite me always rooted there at morn, ‘Then came a drought that burned to dust my garden ; then a flood And pelting hail and hurricane turned everything to mud; ‘Then, like the plagues of Egypt, swarmed upon me flies and bugs, Inch-worms, moles, cut-worms, crows and slugs, locusts, caterpillars, All summer long { wrestled, while my perspiration drops I think would fill the barreis I had ready for my crops ; And though I wasn’t able to supply one dinner's needs, T took the prize of champion for raising famous weeds, Before I made my garden, oh, I was a happy man But afterward my troubles and experiences began, Now, if some city greenhorn like myself would care to reap The profits of a garden, 1 will sell out very cheap. —H.

If you can sell them Till be much obliged to you, It's « derned sight more’n I can do.’ With that he lighted up his pipe and went on painting 2s tranquil as a summer's T admired him and asked him out to have a dro} of something. says he, standing bac and regarding his picture with one eye closed, but not even glancing at me, ‘I never have social relations with my trades-people,.’ I was faint when I got down to the street."—San Francisco Examiner, EARL & WILSON’S LINEN _7 COLLARS & CUFFS BEST IN THE WORLD (a!
