What you’re looking at
This page contains several unrelated satirical pieces typical of Judge magazine's format: **"The Pithecanthropus"** mocks a woman's vanity, comparing her claims of uniqueness to the extinct "ape-man" - a joke about both evolutionary science and female pretension. **"Made Him Hot"** satirizes a man boiling coffee excessively on a stove. **"Judge's Favorites"** and other brief comic pieces offer social commentary through short humorous observations. **"Thorough Training"** depicts a horsewoman instructing on equestrian terminology - likely satirizing overly pedantic instruction or pretentious upper-class horsemanship culture. The magazine combines poetry, single-panel cartoons, and short comedic dialogues. Without specific historical context for references like "Josiah Flynn" or "Cohen's music store," the exact targets remain unclear, though the overall tone targets vanity, pretension, and social affectation common to Gilded Age satire.

THE PITHECANTHROPUS, HE Pithecanthropus climbed up ina tree, And giggled and gurgled, *Oh- ho, tee-he-he ! I never descended from any monkee, And mankind has never de- scended from me, Just because we can stand on our hind-legs, all three, Whoever connects us, mistaken is he. I'm all in a class by myself, don't you see, For Iam the great and unique and onlee Pithecanthropus ! Hurroo! te- MADE HIM HOT. hehe!” cinouie wana, 1 = Phat chap Stove-plate is aggravating. Ile makes JUDGE'S FAVORIT Though you're “indescribably fetching,” as was ‘writ of you in one play, It's a pleasure to have your picture to back up what we say— And yet, it goes without saying, that you're some- thing fare and sweet, Whatever the part you're playing, wherever we chance to meet, Don’t fail, dear girl, next season to give usa glad surprise, As you did with Flossie Williams, though “Un Teavened Bread" failed to rise. MAGAZINE NOTE, Ti rticles on “ Graft,” in one of the magazines, ten by Josiah Flynt and illustrated by F. D, Steele, have caused some sparks of indignation among the police of several of our large cities. NOT ANXIOUS TO SHOW IT.
