What you’re looking at
This Judge magazine page contains three distinct satirical pieces: **"Everybody Hoch!"** mocks German-American enthusiasm for visiting German royalty (Prince Heinrich). "Hoch" is a German toast. The satire targets immigrant communities' fervent displays of patriotism toward their homeland, showing exaggerated celebration spreading through Hoboken (a German-American neighborhood). **"Appreciation"** gently jokes about teaching children proper manners—the girl's polite response to a comb gift, while everyone else finds humor in her earnest gratitude. **"An Old Adage Enforced"** uses the phrase "strike while the iron is hot" literally: a wife beat her husband during an argument, justifying it as following traditional wisdom. **"A Lucky Fellow"** presents straightforward hunting humor: a hunter brags about success but admits he only shot dogs, not game. The page reflects early 20th-century American attitudes toward German immigrants, children's etiquette training, domestic discord treated as comedy, and rural hunting culture.
