# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon, titled "AN INVITATION TO THE YOUTHFUL MARKSMEN PROMPTLY ACCEPTED," depicts children playing with what appears to be explosive devices or dangerous toys in a street setting. The satire critiques the casual danger posed to youth, likely referencing turn-of-the-century concerns about child safety in urban areas. The surrounding text includes brief satirical items mocking political and social figures: mentions of "Kruger," "Lipton," "the Sultan of Sulu," and "Pettigrew." These appear to be topical jabs at contemporary politicians and personalities, though specific references are unclear without additional historical context. The page combines visual humor with cutting social commentary typical of Judge's satirical approach to American life and politics during this period.

HE SULTAN recently exiled eight of his wives. These ladies were not permitted to go to some foreign Dakota to arrange for a divorce. It is even possible that they didn’t succeed in getting more than half way across the Bosphorus. : EW WALLACE charges President McKinley with a design to build up an empire of Puerto Rico and the Philippines, to which are to be added the island of St. Thomas and St. Croix, all of them to be under his personal control. If General Wallace were to put the idea ina novel he would be charged with the grossest and the foolishest of all extravagance. THE BAR-MAID HERE. THE INTRODUCTION of the bar-maid to the good society of this town by Mrs. Langtry shows that the latter has really more influence with the society than any other woman. Who else would have dared to do it? Who else would have been permitted to do it? Is it possible that the inferred patronage of Wales makes possible that kind of tolerance here? A POLITE ACCOMPLISHMENT. WOMAN'S CLUB in Chicago advocates the teaching of cookery to young men. The idea is not so bad. There are many men who think that the whole art of being agreeable consists in the ability to order a good dinner. If they also know how to cook one the art will come easier; and again if they lose their money they can make more by super- intending the cookery of large establishments. FINANCIERING. HAVING TAKEN wo millions from the Puerto Ricans in customs dues, this large. dignified government proposes to give the money back to them to show that it never intended to keep the money per- manently. “Oh, Sam!" exclaimed one colored gentleman to another, “1 jess found a five-dollar bill” “Well.” said Sam quickly, " you jess luff ‘im down agin. ‘I on'y put ‘im dar ter try yer.” THE HAIR OF THE DOG. THE FARMERS of Kent county, Dela- ware, have formed an as- sociation whose purpose it is to put up the prices of produce, and they invite other farmers to follow their example. That must not be. It is the chief business of farmers to cry out against trusts, and they are expected to make them. To be sure, this is the best way to make op- position to trusts. profit- able, but that has nothing to do with the work of putting down a great moral wrong. a SACRED GROUND. THE INDIGNATION of the French over the sending of Cronje to St. Helena would seem to in- dicate a belief that the imprisonment of Napoleon there gave them the own- ership of the island, and they want it understood that they are rather par- ticular as to the kind of prisoners they are expected to entertain, But there are no prisoners sufficiently great to quite satisfy them, and what to do in the emergency to make them happy it is impossible to tell. It is said that Uncle Paul and his wife will be sent there, but obviously that will not make them quite happy. MARKSMEN PROMPTLY ACCEPTED, OUR FORMER PROTEGES. THE PRESIDENTS of the South American republics propose a con- ference to invite assurances of peace among those countries and to agree upon the basis for future commercial treaties. The United States is not mentioned, but it is announced that Germany, France, Italy and Austria will support the South American republics against all aggression. This is a great change since the pan-American congress engineered by Mr. Blaine; and if the Puerto Rico business has anything to do with it the presidents in question are certainly acting with frantic haste. Think, how- ever. of the absurdity of a Monroe doctrine with this country left out and all those other countries put in! comicbooks.com
