# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon, titled "CALLING THEIR BLUFF CAUSTICALLY," depicts men around a barrel in what appears to be a speakeasy or illegal drinking establishment. The accompanying text references various characters (Mr. Knoss, Mr. Knowd) making boastful claims about their connections and abilities—"Bob jilt straight," "King high," etc.—in a mocking tone. The satire targets Prohibition-era speakeasy culture, ridiculing men who frequented illegal drinking establishments and made exaggerated boasts about their status or connections. The cartoon mocks the pretensions of speakeasy patrons during the Prohibition period, suggesting they were engaged in bluffing and empty braggadocio while participating in illegal activities.

Now let us hear from the man at the bottom of it. VICTORIA dislikes the smell of tobacco, and the order is frequent, when her eldest son is with her, “Take ‘is r’yal ‘ighness out an’ blow im off with a fan.” [F THERE really are one hundred and fifty woman barbers in Chicago the fact is accounted for that most of the men of that town keep their heads as well as their faces shaved almost to the quick. SENA TOR STEWART says the demonetization of silver will reduce the number of marriages. There is a new eruption of Vesuvius, and we suppose it is responsible for that too. However, there is one comfort. It ought to increase the number of silver weddings.

CLOWNING FOR THE CHURCH. HE CHURCH FAIR in New Jersey which induced several young women to saw wood for a prize has violated the proprieties more than any other church fair ever did, and that is saying much The public will some day demand that these unseemly exhibitions in behalf of the church shall cease. If the saloon should so demean human nature it would be kicked out of existence. A GREAT PRINCIPLE. R. ALICE B. CAMPBELL has retired from the Brooklyn Central Methodist church in behalf of the principle “no taxation without representation.” She helps support the church, in other words, and is permitted no voice in its direction. ‘The principle is good enough for gos- pel in religious as well as civil life, and it is surprising that it should not have prevailed there from the beginning. SOME HIDDEN GENIUS. SEVERAL SEVERE MEN are hard at work writing down Mr. How- ells and other popular writers. They say these unfortunate persons are totally without merit and utterly given to rot. Their severity appears in the correspondence column of the Hordd, and they sign their initials to it. It isa pity they do not give their names. Perhaps if they would we might discover the author of the impending great American novel. THE LAW AND THE RUFFIAN. A JUDGE of a United States court in Arkansas decides that a man must run away from a ruffian who attacks him, and-that he may kill and not be guilty of murder only when he finds it impossible to escape from his adversary. With that rule in vogue the ruffian has all the advan- tage and keeps all the self-respect. It is really too much to ask of the decent citi- zen that he shall be a fool and a coward at the same time. MRS. STANTON’S FLUKE. ForTY YEARS AGO Elizabeth Cady Stanton walked the streets of her native village, Johnstown, New York, in bloomers. But she did it only for a day that was full of trouble. The notice she attracted was not pleasing, and the local newspapers made her unhappy. Possibly there are persons who think she is a new woman; but, alas! she went back to her petticoats with great rapidity and has re= mained in them to this day. WORSE THAN PROHIBITION. THE BRANDY sold in Paris is said by Dr. Rochard to be villainous. A new hospital for inebriates has been built, and it has eight hundred patients, three hun- dred of whom are women, and still it is far too small. ‘The drinking-saloons have largely increased in number, and the amount of brandy consumed has doubled in ten years. Indeed, the statement of Dr. Rochard reads like reports from the insane-asylums of Maine and Kansas. )—"* Whad yo’ gemmen got?" Wob-tail flarsh.” Vob tail straight.”* King haigh.” “Two little juces sweeps de boa'd. kase yo’ wudn’ bet dat high on WORTH THE SACRIFICES. MISS. ANTHONY said, out west recently, that every woman who mar- ried gave up her right to her own children; and we suppose if the woman in question didn’t marry she would be in the same box. Further she said that the woman sacrificed the right to her own liberty and the pay for her own services; and a western woman, to her inexpressible dis- gust, remarked after a little profound thought, * Wacal, it’s wuth it.” And then Miss Anthony sat suddenly down and sighed. THE WHEEL OF WOE, -FACE is strained and has a deep line at the side of If it belong to a lady it is pale and apprehensive. It tells of a foreboding that presently there is going to be a smash and its owner is going to get hurt and be ridiculous. It appears when the lady is on her wheel and there are indications of a fatal wabble. It is set, stern and agonizing; the teeth show, and the eyes stare at nothing as if that impalpable vacancy were getting ready to bite somebody. There is agi« tation of the question why our girls look old. Look at that face and see. HE BICYC each nostril comicbooks.com
