What you’re looking at
This page contains several humor pieces and illustrations typical of Judge's satirical content. The main features include: **"A Magic Aroma"** - A poem about pleasant evening scents, accompanied by a sketch of well-dressed figures. **"Judge's Favorites"** - Features Norma Whalley, apparently a popular actress or performer of the era. **"So to Restock," "Her Fear," and other titled pieces** - Short humorous anecdotes and dialogues about everyday social situations. **The bottom section** includes Professor De Bergerac's lecture comparing George Washington and Admiral George Dewey—likely referencing Dewey's recent prominence (possibly the Spanish-American War era, early 1900s). The satire contrasts Washington's mythologized heroism with Dewey's more questionable public character. The cartoons employ typical Judge-style illustrations to mock social pretensions and contemporary figures.

ES, ladies and gentlemen, I feel constrained to say there is a wide difference between Gen- eral George Washington and Admiral George Dewey, and not in Miles, generally speaking, either — y George Washington was first in wai eorge Dewey was last and first. It is easily seen that George Dewey had Merritt on his side. George Washington was the father of his country and the apple of his country’s eye. George Dewey was a peach. George Washington loved the fair sex, but we have no records on file of his Hobsonizing him- self (in public at least), Nevertheless that does not make the less a hero of the young man.who djd, as there is more danger to be feared from the gauntlet of microbes than from Spanish aim, Figuratively speaking George Washington was “the father of his country, which honor (George being childless) was an empty one. ‘There are many George Washingtons to-day not necessa- rily genealogically identified with the cherry-tree chopper—it is said these bearers of that honored, name are mostly all in the whitewash business. ** Say, this cocoanut ain't what it’s cracked up Ww. &, COOK to be.” comicbooks.com
