What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical pieces: **"At the Woman's Convention"** criticizes a man's complaints about women's activism and rights advocacy, mocking his dismissive attitude toward their organizing efforts. **"A Lesson in Throwing the Boomerang"** depicts an Australian throwing implement, illustrating the phrase "what goes around comes around"—likely referencing consequences for past actions. **"You Have Heard It Too"** presents anecdotes about military comparisons (Penn vs. sword, fighting Indians), satirizing men's tendency to one-up each other with tall tales. **"Make No Mistake!"** shows domestic conflict where a father warns his son about "gliders" (girls), suggesting deception in courtship. The remaining pieces ("Acme Reached," "Slightly Mistaken," and boomerang illustrations) appear to be brief humorous vignettes typical of Judge's satirical format, mocking contemporary social pretensions and gender relations.

AT THE WOMAN'S CONVENTION. HE spoke and spoke and spoke and spoke, € And still she spoke, in rasping tones Until he thought his head was broke | iv And broken were his back and bones i He only said, * Oh, this is dreary! She'll never stop,” he said. He said, “She makes me very weary I would that she were dead.” She spoke of woman in the creeds, Also of woman in the laws, And then, oa woman's rights and needs She actively employed her jaws. He only caid, ‘* What is she giving Us?" he forlornly said. He said, ‘She makes me tired of living— Oh, that we both were dead !"” MADELINE S, BRILGHS.

Higgs—" Figs is prospering, isn’t he?” Hatch —" Oh, yes. got now to where he can sass his butcher.” SLIGHTLY MISTAKEN. Knows-it-all—Your friend ’s a sweet little woman, Miss Jennie. I admire her ex- tremely. None of your ballot - grasping, wrongs shrieking, public - speaking crank about her. She's a violet-like, shrinking little creature —the kind a fellow wants to protect. Why isn’t she here to-night?” Miss Jennie—"She's addressing a suf- frage meeting at the Get-it-all hall in Harlem.” MAKE NO MISTAKE! Sammy—"All dot glidders ish not gold. Ain’d dot so, fader ?"
