What you’re looking at

This page contains multiple satirical items and advertisements typical of early 1900s Judge magazine: **"Rejected" cartoon**: A brief joke about a young man's love letter being returned—not because the recipient rejected him, but because he lacked postage stamps. It's wordplay on romantic rejection versus postal failure. **"Good Graft" anecdote**: A humorous story about a chronically late host who, rushing home, warmly welcomes a burglar by mistake, treating him as a guest while the thief steals valuables. The satire critiques thoughtless hospitality. **Political commentary**: Brief editorial snippets address the Chinese Exclusion Act's expiration, advocating its renewal with xenophobic language typical of the era. **Main cartoon "Something to Look Forward To"**: Two lumberjacks discuss future employment—one mentions getting a "job edgin' axes" in Washington. The joke satirizes government corruption: "everybody in the hull bilin' place is got one to grind" (a political axe to grind), suggesting Washington is filled with self-interested politicians and job-seekers rather than public servants. The page is primarily advertisements interspersed with humor columns reflecting early 1900s attitudes.
