What you’re looking at

This is primarily a **classified advertising page** from Judge magazine, with one brief satirical story embedded among the ads. ## The Main Content: "The Little Round Fat Man's Wrath" This is a social satire about a middle-aged, bald, overweight man attending a dance with his wife. An elderly woman (described as an "aged fairy" in outdated fashion) insults him by telling her friend that seeing this older man made *her* feel young by comparison. His wife is furious at the insult. The man's revenge is to dance energetically in the next round, deliberately losing a suspender button—a petty, undignified response that mocks his own vanity and wounded pride. **The joke**: It satirizes male ego and the absurdity of taking social slights seriously at a dance. The punchline emphasizes his pathetic attempt at retaliation. The page is otherwise filled with period **product advertisements**—cocoa, tea, bicycles, carriages, tooth soap, and medical nostrums—typical of Judge's revenue model. These ads reveal what consumers of the 1870s-80s considered desirable.

The little round fat man with the gurgling laugh has. been observing Lent, but the other night he took his wife to a club-dance ‘on the west side. He is not as active as he used to be and he only took chances in the quadrilles. One of the square dances he parti in with a young lady friend of his wife, and his wife did not dance at alf, When the little round man went back to her after the dance he found her highly indignant. Not at him, but at an aged fairy in Nile green silk and saliva curls who had been doing the wall-tlower act near her. Said the little fat man's wife to him, ** That wo- man said to her friend that she had felt embarrassed at being a participant in a young people’s dance, but that when she saw that little old bald-headed man over there she felt quite at home. She meant you. I was so angry that I could have slapped her. The idea! Just because you're bald she thinks youre old.” And to make his title clear in the eyes of the envious old maid the little round fat man took in the next round dance and lost a suspender-button in cutting a pigeon-wing, He was mad too.—Chicago Herald.

Exceptional durability, combined with perfection of tone and touch, make the Sohmer Piano peculiarly adapted to the use of pupils and teachers in establish- ments where piano-playing is taught, THE HIRED MAN. I give my time, my song, my life to toil, My brow of bronze, my arms of brawn, are hers, For her alone each willing muscle stirs ; For her I guide the plow and delve the land, For her my brow is wet, my face is tanned. Sweet labor, brown-cheeked as the chestnut-burs, Thy lightest law my lagging spirit spurs, And under heat and burden bids me stand. So, in thy name the old line fence I scale, Just where the whispering maple shades the place ; 1 mount the panel with the softest rail, ‘And let the light winds fan my patient face ; And there, where birds and moments idly flit, I sit, and sit, and sit, and sit. —Kobert J.
