# Page 195 Analysis: Judge Magazine This page contains multiple satirical pieces typical of Judge's style: **"Cholly's Four Expressions"** features caricatured facial studies of a character named Cholly, likely mocking a specific social type or public figure (unclear who specifically). **"It Won't Be Seen"** depicts a seaside scene where a character complains about a dressmaker, using a bathing scenario as setup for humor about fashion. **"The Asylum for Novel-Readers"** satirizes excessive fiction reading, describing Miss Samantha Swiggings's hospital for "disabled novel-readers." The piece mocks realistic school fiction advocates and their complaints about implausible literary conventions. **"The Very Man"** and **"Not on the Surface"** are brief joke pieces with minimal context visible. **"Thought It Was Dynamite"** shows a police station scene where someone reports finding suspicious items—likely physical comedy rather than political satire. The page is primarily humorous rather than overtly political.

IT WON'T BE SEEN. just look, Maud how long that horrid dressmaker has cut my bathing-dress !” ‘There are no men here, any way.” THE ASYLUM FOR NOVEL-READERS. M|SS SAMANTHA SNIGGINGS had long con- templated founding a hospital for disabled novel-readers, and for that reason hoarded her in- come to a point of miserly impecuniosity. Alter years of self-denial she at last had pos- session of a generous sum with which to erect a noble monument to her name. As a result there arose in Hagerstown the world-famed institution known as The Snigging: The first patient admitted was a follower of the realistic school. He objected to the ice-cream because it was too cold to be natural, and insisted on a temperature of seventy degrees to make it comport to the ideas of Howellhewrites, Jameshis- mark, and other noted realists. He derided Miss Samantha’s pickles as having metamorphosed the cucumber. He declared the pie-crusts to be mere imitations of leather. He swore at the red nose of the cook as a plagiarism on Mr. Pickwick, He drift ed into hopeless insanity at the sight of the crazy- quilt on his bed as a work of imagination. He was then shut up in the strait-jacket and died because the interior was not done in terra cotta to harmo- nize the light and minister to his esthetic senses. The Sniggings was closed abruptly after the funeral, Miss Samantha was willing to care for poor beings who had suffered from reading the works of fictionists, but she couldn't stand the Bowser’ Svanceas "tay, bums gems a deiok welll ser? graduates of the school of naturalness who wanted Bar-TENDER—" Naw!
