# Page 249 from Judge Magazine - Analysis This page contains several satirical items typical of Judge's humor: **"Fickle Fortune"**: A social comedy sketch about a woman (likely wealthy) receiving fish from someone named Jack, who boasts they're superior to gold-fish. The joke satirizes class pretension and romantic duplicity. **"Design for New Seal of New Jersey"**: A visual pun showing a balance scale with dice, mocking New Jersey's reputation for corruption or gambling. **"Joseph Choate"**: A commentary on the Irish-American politician/lawyer Choate, praising his wit while gently mocking Irish stereotypes. **"A Hint to Inventors"**: Sketches an accordion-extension railway car, satirizing impractical invention proposals. **"Didn't Understand Figures"**: A domestic comedy about a woman (Miss Blanche) and a man (Van Guller) misunderstanding financial obligations. The magazine targets wealthy society, ethnic stereotypes, and contemporary absurdities with light satirical humor.
