What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of **advertisements and brief humorous anecdotes** rather than political cartoons. The "jokes" are short, satirical pieces typical of Judge's format: 1. **"The Bunco Man"** — A darkly comic anecdote about a criminal father advising his son to exploit people ("do him") before dying. 2. **"Intelligent Compositor"** — Mockery of a careless newspaper typesetter who misspells "victals" (victuals/food), creating an absurd sentence about a gunshot wound in "victuals." 3. **"Peculiar Infatuation"** — A sensationalized story about a woman who unknowingly married another woman disguised as a male farm laborer—commentary on gender deception and rural gullibility. The page is dominated by **patent medicine and consumer goods advertisements** (Cuticura remedies, clothing, typewriters, banjos, etc.)—reflecting Judge's business model and the era's unregulated medical advertising. **No identifiable political figures or sophisticated satire appears here.** The humor targets generic social types: criminals, incompetent workers, and the credulous rural population.

Women do. Not long ago a young woman in New Jersey was married to a youthful laborer on her father's farm. Sometime afterward it was discovered that the husband was a female; the young wife refused, -how- ever, though earnestly entreated by her friends, to give up her chosen consort, ‘The strangest part of the dis- covery was the fact that the bride knew her husband was a woman before she was led to the altar. If men do not exhibit this strange infatuation for one | of their own sex, they at least oftentimes give evidence | of the fact that they love one another. ‘There are many instances on record where one man has given his life for another. ‘There are many more instances where | men have given life to another. It is a proud possession—the knowledge that one has saved a precious human life. Meriden, Conn., is the home of such a happy man. John H, Preston, of that city, July 11th, 1890, writes: "** Five years ago I was taken very sick, I had several of the best doctors, and ‘one and all called it a complication of diseases. I was sick four years, taking prescriptions prescribed by these same doctors, and 1 truthfully state I never expected to get any better. At this time I commenced to have the most terrible pains in my back. One day an old friend of mine, Mr. R. T. Cook, of the firm of Curtis & Cook, advised me to try Warner's Safe Cure, as he had been | troubled the same way and it had effected a cure for him. I bought six bottles, took the medicine as direct. ed and am to-day a well man, I am sure no ene ever had a worse case of kidney and liver trouble than I had. Before this I was always against proprietary medicines, but not now; oh, no. Friendship expresses itself in very peculiar ways sometimes ; but the true friend is the friend in need, | «There is plenty of room at the top,” so they say ; But why should we struggle for ever and aye ‘To climb fortune’s ladder by round upon round When we know there is plenty of room on the ground? —Chicago Evening Post.
