What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical sketches and humorous short pieces typical of Judge magazine's content: **"He Made a Mistake"** shows a mule and ostrich in a comedic confrontation, illustrating physical humor rather than political satire. **"To Avoid Suspicion"** presents a racial stereotype joke: a waiter speaks in exaggerated dialect to a U.S. senator, implying the senator is attempting to avoid appearing suspicious (likely about race relations or social mixing) by behaving casually with the Black servant. **"An Inconvenient Embellishment"** features an antisemitic caricature of a Jewish man with an exaggerated nose, mocking ethnic features. The remaining pieces—"The Summer Maiden," "How True," "Rolled Off," "All Told," and "A Youthful Observer"—are brief humorous verses or anecdotes about romance, poetry, domestic life, and child observations, containing no apparent political content. The page reflects Judge's era when ethnic and racial stereotyping was considered acceptable humor by mainstream audiences.

For be you fair or dark of hai I find myself enraptured ; Your sidelong glance cuts like a lance, And I straightway am captured. At other times, wed to my rhymes, T well may laugh at Cupid ; Content that girls should shake their curls And pass me by as stupid But when the haze of warmer days Announces summer burning, I'm out of sorts and feel my thoughts Loveward go lightly turning. And while 1 know you'll bring me woe, With heart light as a feather, At your dear call T give up all, So we may be together. How time will fly! You say good-bye With some word lightly spoken ; For well you may be blithe and gay — It's not your heart that's broken. JAMES JAY O'CONKELA TO AVOID SUSPICION.
