What you’re looking at
This page contains three separate satirical pieces from *Judge* magazine: 1. **"The Man Who Was Robbed"** (top left): A fable mocking those who tell sob stories. A second traveler, hearing of a man's beating and robbery, steals his remaining money anyway. The moral: "Hard-luck stories are seldom successful"—satirizing society's indifference to the unfortunate. 2. **"His Calling"** (top right): A brief joke about a nobleman marrying for money rather than romance, calling himself a "financier" instead of suitor—mocking wealthy Europeans and mercenary marriages. 3. **"First Snow in Bugville"** (bottom): An anthropomorphic cartoon showing insects enjoying winter activities after birds migrate south. This appears to be gentle, whimsical satire about the animal kingdom's social hierarchies, with "aristocracy" taking leisure time. The page blends social commentary with lighthearted humor typical of early-20th-century *Judge* content.
