What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine contains primarily **advertisements and humorous short pieces**, rather than political cartoons. The notable content includes: **"A Funeral"** — A sentimental poem about mourning someone whose life was controversial ("living, was a nation's loss / And, dying, is a country's shame"). The subject is unclear from the page alone. **"Unheard Of!"** — A racial stereotype joke about Booker T. Washington's educational efforts. A Black worker supposedly refuses to clean a henhouse "in de day-time," playing on racist caricatures of laziness. **"Bulletins of the Strike"** — Satirical one-liners mocking wealthy industrialists (J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, etc.) during what appears to be a steel strike, suggesting they're economizing in absurd ways (using dollar bills to fire yachts, etc.). **"Middle West in Italy"** — A comedic observation about an American tourist's nervous condition in Italy. The page is largely filled with **period advertisements** for patent medicines and hair tonics—typical of early 20th-century magazines.

UNHEARD OF! When Booker T. Washington began his carly attempts to arouse the colored men of the south to work regularly, save their money, stop stealing chickens, lead good lives, ete., one of his agencies was the establishment of schools. Money was scarce, and it was a day of small beginnings. ‘The first class was held on the porch of a house, but it rapidly outgrew the accommodation, ‘and, in casting about for ampler facilities, he found an old, abandoned hen-house. Finding a venerable darky idle, he said to him : m, You go up to-morrow morning and clean out that old hen-house back of Mr. "s house” ‘*Sho'ly, Mr. Washington,” was the reply. “* you won't clean cut a hen-house in de day-time ?” Prickly Heat, Chafing, Sunburn, Bites or Stings of insects, and for Bathing, Shampooing, Nursery and General’ Toilet purposes — espe- cially when traveling— Packer’s Tar Soap is indispensable.
