What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine mixes satirical content with advertisements. The main cartoon appears to be titled "Had I But Known"—a regretful monologue from someone (likely a gambler or card player, based on references to "dealers" and card hands) reflecting on romantic or financial losses. The satire mocks sentimental regret and poor decision-making. The page also includes short joke items poking fun at contemporary issues: a darkly cynical quip about suicide and lynching in the American West, banking humor, and a joke about the notoriously poor water quality in New York City (referencing the Croton water system). The bulk of the page comprises advertisements for hotels, railroads (notably the "Empire State Express"), cigars, and the *Frank Leslie's Weekly* magazine's coverage of the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This reflects the magazine's dual purpose: satirical commentary alongside commercial promotion. The *Judge Library* repeating at bottom is promotional copy.
