What you’re looking at

# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains three distinct satirical pieces: **"Always Begging"** (top sketch): Mocks the contradiction of a beggar who claims former respectability. A woman asks why he begs despite claiming to have been a minister; he responds that ministers always beg—sharp social commentary on clergy fundraising practices. **"Dinah's Alarm-Clock"** and **"Caesar's Choice"** (middle): Two brief humorous anecdotes about domestic servants and their employers' pretensions, poking fun at social hierarchies and class assumptions. **"The Wonderful Doings of Marvelous Thomas"** (bottom): Shows a child drawing pictures—apparently a rat, then claiming to have drawn something else. The caption suggests this is about childish deception or misrepresentation, likely mocking exaggerated claims or fraud. The overall theme appears satirizing social pretense and dishonesty across class lines.
