This page is primarily **advertising** with one cartoon. The main satirical cartoon depicts two men in Victorian dress—one appears to be a shabby vagrant or street person, the other a well-dressed gentleman. The caption suggests the ragged man has been attending "stop-the-Boer war" political meetings, explaining his disheveled appearance. **Context**: This references the **Second Boer War** (1899-1902), when British forces fought Dutch settlers in South Africa. Anti-war meetings were held in Britain and America; the cartoon mocks attendees as disreputable or foolish. The surrounding ads promote period products: Wilson Whiskey, Kodak cameras, Sohmer pianos, carpets, and Veeder cyclometers (bicycle odometers). One ad includes a joke about church organ music and firefighting hoses—wordplay typical of Judge's humor. The overall tone reflects early 1900s consumer culture and political mockery of pacifists.

Tn the old days of Ale brewing the product was necessarily dark, sluggish and full of natural impurities, because the processes then in use could not make it otherwise, ‘The new era in brewing began with Evans’ efforts,and his achievement has revolutionized the brewing industry of the world. The dark, muddy product has been transformed into an amber-bued, sparkling, pal- atable beverage, giving forth the fragrance of a field of blossoming hops, and free from the least trace of sediment. “Can you understand anything your baby says, Mrs. Tibbs?” ‘No; but Bobby under- stands the baby, and Johnny understands Bob- by, so we get along very nicely."—/ndianapolis Journal.

He spoke of the affection he had for the building and everything in it.
