What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and filler content** from Judge magazine, circa 1900. The main cartoon is **"Ballad of the Burglar,"** a humorous narrative poem with ironic twist: a wife discovers a burglar in their home and fears for their safety—but her husband jokes that if the burglar has eaten her homemade cake, he'll be dead by morning from the poor quality of her baking. The satire targets husbands' dismissive attitudes toward their wives' domestic skills and concerns. The page also advertises **Hunter Baltimore Rye whiskey, campaign buttons** (likely for McKinley/Roosevelt), **Williams' Shaving Soaps**, a **picture collection of "the American Girl,"** and Canadian Pacific Railway travel. The "Campaign Emblem Hit" section references the **"Full Dinner Pail"**—a Republican campaign slogan promising prosperity. This is typical Judge content: light domestic humor mixed with commercial advertising, reflecting early 1900s consumer culture and gender relations.

BALLAD OF THE BURGLAR. It was a wicked burglar, ‘Who with his jimmy pried And twisted at the window, And soon he was inside. Tt was the wakeful wifey Who clutched her husband's arm, And in a voice that trembled ‘Told him of her alarm. She said, ** I heard the burglar ‘As he was creeping in, And heard him curse the rocker “That struck upon his shin, Since then, within the pantry, Strange noise I hear him make, I fear that he has eaten My first, my only cake. TROL It’s Settled The best all-around whiskey in America to-day, to-morrow, and for the future is * Oh, hubby! hasten swiftly ‘And summon the police, And have them take to prison This breaker of our peace.” It is the brutal husband Who cynically sneers At what his wifey tells him And snickers at her fears, Hunter Baltimore Rye 10 YEARS OLD. He says, ** If this poor burglar Has eaten all that cake ‘The coroner I'll send for When morning-light doth break.” It is a carven tombstone Which tells, in letters good, “A burglar with the angels From eating angel-food.” The best in quality The best in flavor The purest type The leader everywhere Morrow Coaster Brake idle FO miles Sold at all First-class Cafés and by Jobbers.
