What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* contains multiple satirical vignettes about wealth and social behavior: **"One Hundred to One He Didn't"** depicts wealthy men discussing financial advice—apparently mocking those who claim to save money through economy while seeking insider tips. **"Bashful"** shows a couple's romantic exchange, likely satirizing courtship conventions of the era. **"Out of Sight"** features characters named Gallaway Jones, Thomas Jefferson, and Bludder Jafferson in dialogue about dating, possibly satirizing pretentious or affected social behavior. The page also includes brief commentary on Charles Gillam's death and discusses upper-class servants as private secretaries, suggesting satire about class pretensions. The cartoons generally mock wealthy individuals' financial delusions, romantic affectations, and social pretensions—typical *Judge* fare targeting the prosperous classes.

Impossible. erie HE DEATH of Charles Gillam, a brother of the famous artist of the Jupce, brings tears to the eyes of many journalists, and the keenest regret to every person in this establishment. He had charge of the Judge Library, and his work was always conscientious and good. He was a large-hearted, broad-minded man, and all who knew him will recall him with the sincerest respect and tenderness. BASHFUL. Joux —‘*Sallie, ef I was to ask you if you'd marry me, do you think you'd say yes ?* *1—er—I guess so.” al, ef I ever git over this ‘ere darn bashfulness I'll ask You some o' these times.” THE SONS of Carlisle, Stevenson and Peffer act as their papas’ private secretaries.
