What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical pieces typical of Judge magazine's humor: **"A Monopolist"** mocks self-satisfied wealthy individuals who believe themselves unrivaled. **"Corn and Music"** is a light anecdote about a child losing teeth and receiving a music box in exchange. **"That Innumerable Caravan"** features Admiral Dewey discussing political support, likely referencing the Spanish-American War hero's potential presidential ambitions. The satire suggests politicians exaggerate their backing. **"A Bigger House"** shows a family relocating to Chicago, humorously implying they need more space. **"Of Two Evils"** offers brief moral commentary about women's choices. **"Overheard at the Spectacle-Factory"** jokes about cheap eyeglasses. The large illustration depicts someone in rain with an umbrella—a visual gag about seeing beauty in unexpected situations. Overall, the page mixes political commentary with domestic humor typical of early 20th-century American satire.
