# Analysis of Judge Page This page from the satirical magazine Judge contains three distinct pieces: 1. **"Boyhood's Dream—Manhood's Delusion"**: A poem mocking failed fishing expeditions, contrasting youthful optimism with adult disappointment. 2. **"Judges Favorites"**: Features actress Ada Rehan in "Two Gentlemen of Verona," with accompanying verse praising theatrical performances. 3. **"A Few Observations"**: Social commentary sections critiquing preachers who avoid difficult questions and hypocrisy regarding thorns (likely metaphorical). 4. **"Missed Him"**: A dialogue joke about the Prince of Wales and racing, with a barbershop scene illustration showing a financial transaction. 5. **"A Big Job"**: A barber-shop humor piece about shaving charges. The page primarily combines theatrical praise with gentle social satire and everyday humor typical of Judge's editorial voice.

JUDGE'S FAVORITES ADA REMAN AS JULIA IN TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA.” There lies a garden lovgly as a dream Because rave /ucia, dreaming, walks therein ; ‘She speaks —the’serenaders on the stream, To hear her voice, hush lute and mandolin. In teuth, we ne'er had found those scenes so fair, Unul chow wert the reigning spirit there. A FEW OBSERVATIONS. HE financier is the man who gets the better of the bargain. Politics makes strange bed-fellows who have to lie awake watching one another. It is a great deal easier to criticise a person for doing something than to do it yourself. If the pulpit could read the thoughts of the pews many sermons would be vastly different. The coming woman is she who will care more for an idea than for a husband. But will she ever come? A preacher who clings to dogma worships by a candle-dip in a darkened room while God's glory is shining outside. ‘There is no rose without thorns, ‘There is no shad without bones. And shad roes by no other name could taste as sweet. Shape BOYHOOD’S DREAM—MANHOOD'S DE- LUSION. [8 THE spring the small boy's faney lightly turns to ponds and brooks, With about a quart of angle-worms and a nickel s-worth of hooks, Also a ton of patience and of faith an ample store, ‘To withdraw the wary bullhead from his covert to the shore. And that fancy never leaves us as we stand beside life's sea With painted bobs seducing great results that ne'er can be, To discover late at sundown we have not attained our wish, But have traded off two pounds of worms to get one pound of fish.
