What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* contains several brief satirical items and two cartoon panels titled "The Wrong Implement." **Top cartoon ("A Cape May Breaker"):** Shows well-dressed people at what appears to a social gathering. The dialogue involves a woman refusing to dance to a tune deemed "altogether too fast," while an orchestra leader and others discuss a party arriving from New York. The satire mocks upper-class social pretension and rigid dancing etiquette. **Bottom cartoons ("The Wrong Implement"):** These paired scenes depict domestic/bureaucratic humor. One involves a parish advertising editor; the other shows a new boy in an office who doesn't know what tool to use. Both satirize incompetence and misunderstanding of proper procedures. The page also includes brief news-style commentary items on topics like Missouri, Oregon gold mining, and military convictions—typical of *Judge*'s mixed-format satirical commentary.

UR WORSHIP of royalty is a matter of personal preference, not of principle; yet if the daughter of Isabella were not royal the public would care nothing for her. Here is a flat contradiction of terms, but we hope they won't quarrel about it. : ARMY AND CHURCH. THE DISARMAMENT of the European powers will be advised by the pope. The cost of the religious establishment is said to be half as great as that of the armies. If church taxes and army taxes were to be abolished, and priests and soldiers had to produce the means to their own living, labor would have small money but plenty of food.
