What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **poetry and humor pieces**, with **advertisements** interspersed. ## Main Content: "Ballad of Ye Passionate Lover" A lengthy comic poem mocking romantic clichés. A suitor praises his beloved through familiar tropes (honeyed words, classical features, gentle kisses, lavish gifts), but the conceit is that the lover repeatedly boasts *his own* attributes are superior—"just wait till you see/hear mine." The satire targets overwrought romantic declarations and male vanity, suggesting passionate lovers are actually conceited bores making everything about themselves rather than their beloved. ## Supporting Material Brief joke items mock domestic life (a child pulling out teeth, a lawyer's fees exceeding his value, a husband dreading his wife's return from vacation). ## Advertisements Evans Ale, Chartreuse liqueur, Prudential Insurance (endowment bonds), and Sohmer Pianos fill the margins—typical Judge magazine filler targeting middle-class readers. The overall tone is **lighthearted mockery of romantic posturing** and **domestic relations**, standard fare for early-20th-century American humor magazines.

BALLAD OF YE PASSIONATE LOVER. HH, LADY fair, while at your feet a lover bendeth low, Alas! thou knowest not, dear one, of this fond heart, I trow. You to his tales of ardent love a wil g ear incline. If wondrous you his love tales deem, “oh, wait till you hear mine.” If wondrous you his love tales deem, “just wait till you hear mine.” He charms you with his honeyed tones, his words are soft and sweet; he choicest of earth's flowers and lays them at your feet. He plucks And as he sings impassionedly you think his voice divine— Ah, let it charm thee not, dear one, “* but wait till you hear mine." If his bazoo appeals to you—" just wait till you hear mine.”” And while he sings of chivalry, of love and old romance. His proffered arm you také and lo! you join the mazy dance. His graceful steps, the dreamy tunes, affect you like old wine. Ah be not charmed by nimble feet il All other fect take a back seat, just wait till you see mine.” . Then in the moonlit garden old you gaze into his face. You think his features classic—nay, a Grecian god the His noble brow, his lustrous eyes, that grand nose aquiline— If that’s a nose, Jehoshaphat {—“ well, wait till you see mine." If you want a nose that is a nose, “just wait till you see mine.”* Upon your alabaster brow his kisses now he rains, S, Then seeks your lips and from them swift a blissful draught he drains, The nectar of the gods, while But still you miss a perfect kis: A perfect swat can here be got, within his arms recline, until you've sampled mine”; so wait and sample mine.” He toasts you at the banquet board with flowery eloquence; ‘An answering smile from your dear orbs is ample recompense. He toasts your eyes, your brow. your lips, in goblets of red wi You think his thirst an easy first: His generous heart knows no restraint, his life, his all is yours, And for your pleasures princely gifts his ample purse outpours. ‘The jeweled presents, pearly ropes thy white neck to entwinc— great Scott! just wait till you get mine.” But heed them not, and oh, “great Scott! just waif till you get mine."

Daniels, general senger agent of the New’ York Central, recently delivered an address before the mercial development, which will be widely read and with deep interest by all people who are wide awake and have the good of our industries at heart. When Mr. Daniels goes into statistics, whether they deal with corn, red apples, railroad ties or driving wheels, he is quite at home, and the people who hear him into ecstasies of joy over his quaint illustrations and similes, which reek with horse sense and sound philosophy, to say nothing of humor, which latter clement is so strong and prominent in his make-up that it seems as if he must use an invisible air-brake.to shut it off at the right time. The subjects he handles—and they are many and varied —are in his hands even as the knives in the hands of an Eastern juggler. No matter how often or how high he tosses them in the air, he always catches them by the handles as they descend. He \can speak of an Empire State express in the Orient or a Twentieth Century flyer in China with the same ease and grace that Burdick employs when he waxes reminiscent and ‘recalls the wonders of the ‘midnight buttermilk” on the Erie. He gives object lessons that are wholesome and go to the spot in his remarks anent railroad equip- ment, and says many things that will be found of special value to mechanics. He also touches on the influence of rail- roads in Russia, but, probably knowing his limitations, does not attempt to Pronounce the names of any of the way- stations, nor docs he cast any slurs on the quality of the spring chicken served at the refreshment station at which the pes ek Limited of Russia doesn't stop to oP: or kick the snow off its wheels.
