What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and light satirical content** rather than political cartoons. The main cartoon, "THE ABSENTEE," depicts a congressman who leaves office after the war ends, then returns seeking re-election as an "eagle voter"—satirizing opportunistic politicians who disappear when inconvenient and reappear seeking votes. Other notable items: - **"A Good Child"** section implicitly satirizes poor parenting by praising condensed milk as a substitute for proper childcare - **Brief jokes** mock contemporary absurdities: British warships named after virtues ("Magnificent," "Powerful") as if names affect naval power; Japanese temperance reformers sent to a country with no drinking problem; sleepy suburban commuters mistaking conductors for spouses The page reflects **Gilded Age American concerns**: political corruption, infant health (before food safety regulations), imperialism (British naval power), and domestic life's mundane frustrations. Most space is devoted to **advertisements** for cocoa, soap, bicycles, and financial schemes—typical for Judge magazine's business model.

NOSHI AND THE MORNING-GLORY. (From the Japanese.) Tt was the rosy flush of dawn In beautiful Japan, When through the ancient garden-ways Came little Noshi San, Her strapped and lacquered wooden shoes ‘A-clicking as she ran. She stooped beside the mossy well Beneath the gnarled pine, And would have drawn, but that she spied ‘A morning-glory vine Which in the night the pail had wreathed In exquisite design. The dainty thief smiled up at her With velvet eyes of blue. Uncertain, little Noshi stood Debating what to do; ‘Then sudden raised her empty pail ‘And toa neighbor flew. “ Giftewater, friends, I crave,” she said; “* For in the night a vine Has seized my bucket, and so fair Its fragile arms entwine I could not rudely tear them off. Pray let me fill with thine,” —Mary M.
