# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon, titled "A Case of Dye, Die and Diet," depicts a pharmacy counter scene. A well-dressed customer asks a druggist about "stylish coloredyes," while the druggist responds with a medical pun about the customer's dietary needs affecting digestion and complexion. The joke plays on double meanings: "dye" (for coloring), "die" (to cease living), and "diet" (food intake). It's a lighthearted pharmaceutical humor piece typical of Judge's satirical style. The surrounding text includes brief political commentary on various contemporary issues including the Boer War, Philippine colonial administration, and labor disputes—standard fare for this era's satirical magazine. The cartoon itself appears designed primarily for wordplay entertainment rather than sharp political critique.

FIGHTING DUELS by cable has failed to wound either Count de Castellane or his adversary; but it must have been very tough on the cable. +4] MEANT to have told you about that last trap,” says General Buller to General Warren, “Never mind,” says General Warren to General Buller; “1 found it.” | THE EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY of Miss Anthony occurs on the fifteenth of Feb- ruary. It is further evi- dence of man’s injus- tice to woman that there is no national holiday for her. oms SAYS many of his men are losing their teeth. Mis- fortunes multiply. When the army of the Philippines has to con- fine itself to spoon- victuals the Democrat- ic mugwumps will be happier than ever. eee THE QUEEN and the British public are more determined with each fresh disaster that the war shall go right on to a successful con- clusion; but it is worth mentioning that their fighting is done wholly by substitute. M*- ROBERTS says he goes back to Utah with a light heart and a feeling as if he were sailing around with the angels. The people of the country are not as happy as that, but their spirits are greatly improved. What does she want it for she hab ter dye it she want it some han’some color.” AN INDIANA WOMAN has given fifty thousand dollars to an Ohio, college. Why don’t some of these generous ladies make their gifts with the proviso that the favored institution shall grant the boon of co-ed- ucation ? cee TO WOMEN have recently been shot by their husbands, who mistook them for burglars. Somebody will have to be executed for this kind of shooting. It is a result of dreams, but it is too suggestive to the man who wants to murder. eee EDWIN MARKHAM says he knows a woman in San Francisco who owns three dogs that cost her ten thousand dollars a year, each of them having three paid attendants. Is this another poem, Edwin, or is it a plain, unimaginative falsehood? A CASE OF DYE, DIE AND DIET. lah mammy wants ter know ef yo" got any stylish color-dyes.” She done got de misery in her stummick, an’ de doctor say she must diet; an’ she say if THE CURFEW IDIOCY. HE CURFEW LAW has been given up in Minneapolis. The police found that if they tried to enforce it they would have to omit all other duties, and even then they would be unable to do so. The law acted as an invitation to young people to go into the streets at all the forbidden hours, and the foolishness and illegality of it were apparent to all. Towns are not nurseries, and young people have rights which the police are bound to respect. A HALF-BAKED BRYAN MAN. BOURKE COCKRAN refused to support Bryan in ‘ninety-six because of his free-silver foolishness. He now says, however, that, whatever it may have to do with the coming campaign, he will support Bryan, be- cause it cannot practically prevail within four years; and while he hopes imperialism will be the main issue he will support the platform whatever place free silver may have in it. Mr. Cockran has ability enough, What he lacks is a guardian. SUCCESS FOR THE MINORITY N ENGLISH military authority puts the English force in South Africa at one hundred and eighty-four thousand, and that of the Boers at cighty-seven thousand. Thus the English are more than twice as strong, and yet they are continually whipped. How shall we account for this? ‘The English are as good fighters; perhaps they lack in strategy, or perhaps they suffer from ig- norance of the ground. Anyhow, it is no longer possible to speak of the Boers with any degree of contempt. A NEW WAY TO REFORM. T HEY ARE TRYINGanew experiment in New Milford, Connecti- cut. Investigation showed that the sa- loons of the town were not patronized by a good class of men, and it was therefore proposed and adopted to give those places the benefit of a better attendance. There- fore the best citizens of the town are pat- ronizing them, par- tially to investigate and partially to ele- vate them. No oth- er temperance men were ever before so considerate and kind; and good re- sults may ensue if the best citizens on- ly keep their thirst in check. BOYCOTTING MILLIONAIRES. A COLLEGE PRESIDENT proposes to boycott the men of the trusts. Don't accept their company, he says; don’t ask them to dinner or accept invitations to dine with them. There wouldn't be any loss of money to them in that system, and therefore it wouldn't break their hearts or hurt their feelings; and if there are many men who feel that they can afford to boycott millionaires they have thus far failed to report. In point of fact the suggestion is so impracticable that cne would know at a glance it came from a college president. : VULTURES. THE IRISH are throwing up their hats for the Boers, and an Irish maiden who is called the modern Joan of Arc proclaims that*now is the time to strike for Irish freedom and incidentally raise a purse for the Boers, The French are equally vindictive against the injured lion, and therefore cartoon the queen without justice or mercy. So, too, of the Germans; while Russia thinks it would be a good time to go to war, not- withstanding the recent peaceful proceedings at the Hague. Nations are like vultures, ‘There is no bird of that kind that hesitates to gorge itself on the fallen, whatever the record of the latter and however the bird may ”\ have once feared and honored him. comicbooks.com
