What you’re looking at
This page contains four separate satirical items: **"APPROPRIATE"** (top): A woman in Egyptian costume is presented to society. The joke plays on the double meaning of "mummy"—she's dressed as an Egyptian but is so old/lifeless she resembles an actual mummy. **"BOULANGER'S FINAL PARADE"** (right): References General Boulanger, a late 19th-century French military figure. The text criticizes him as a "pretty figure" manipulated by political factions, ultimately ending his life through suicide. It's a retrospective moral assessment of a failed demagogue. **Lower cartoons**: "Not the Same Breed" features a dialogue about finding water sources, while "Freckly Sal" depicts an interaction about being startled—both appear to be unrelated humor sketches typical of Judge's miscellaneous content pages. The page mixes social commentary with lighter comic vignettes.

APPROPRIATE. * Here comes Miss Moire. She has on an Egyptian costum Ah, that just suits her; she's old enough to be a mummy.” ATIONAL ISSUES are well in their place, but this state is large enough and has issues enough to be at times considered for herself alone. HE EDITOR of the Evening Sun says the train robbery between Albany and Utica was a disgrace to civilization. By heaven! he is right. ‘THE MAN who says ‘he only had," and further remarks, “But be could not do it, however,” has a prominent place on every New York newspaper. AS EXILES the late William of Germany and the late Louis Napoleon bided their time with some patience, but Boulanger discounted his in behalf of eternity. . SGHE HAS neither hair nor teeth,” remarked Mr. Cleveland sadly after a momentary look at the baby. * But,” he added as the baby cried out with a loud voice, “I guess there is considerable back-bone there.” BOULANGER’S FINAL PARADE. OULANGER was a pretty figure. The mob loved him, but the mob is fickle. He frightened the French government half out of its wits, and it must be admitted that he was exiled through no fair play; but he was the pet of a dozen feeble organizations, each opposed to all the others, and the kind of man who accepts help regardless of principle. He lived as long as he could on money given him by women, and, that exhausted, he was helpless against the necessity of providing for himself. _Itis fitting that he should leave a wife and die on the grave of a mistress; and as one recalls his duel with a civilian, quickly ended by the latter's sword-thrust, it is a pleasure to compliment him, in view of his suicide, with the words, “ He was a good shot.” NOT THE SAME BREED. Dr Bio Trout —"* Young man, can you tell me where I can find some of the ‘speckled beauties’ the waters here are noted for ?” Native—" Reckon you'll find some in the water back 0’ the house, thar.” Frecxy SAL —‘ Wa-al, whatcher seared at?” : | comicbooks.com!
