What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and filler content** with one notable cartoon titled "Getting Over the Difficulty." The cartoon depicts an artist who has mistakenly painted a cow **blue** instead of its natural color. When questioned about this error, his companion offers the absurd explanation: "Never mind. Let's say the cow's cold." This is a **joke about rationalization and poor excuses**—the cartoon mocks how people attempt to cover up obvious mistakes with ridiculous justifications rather than admit fault. The humor lies in the complete implausibility of claiming a cow is merely "cold," which wouldn't explain its blue coloring at all. The rest of the page consists of period advertising for whiskey, tobacco, insurance, railway travel, tea, and magazines—typical of early 1900s Judge content. No specific political satire appears on this particular page.

Ere long the blithesome birds will sing Their songs in every tree ; The children will go forth to bring Sweet nosegays from the lea ; The long-legged calves will frisk and run, The lambs will gladly bunt While at their meals and think it fun To make their mammas grunt. Ere long the cackle of the hen Will jar the atmosphere ; The time for mowing lawns again Is swiftly drawing near ; The fisherman with half-closed eyes Will sit and wait and dream Beside the shaded pools, and flies Will soon be in the cream, Ere long the glad suburbanite Will hoe and rake and plant, And when he tries to stand upright Discover that he can’t ; He'll smear himself in forty ways And cover up the seeds, And let it go at that, and raise A rousing crop of weeds. —Chicago Record-Herald. “Young man,” said the girl's father, “do you realize what you are under-| taking ?” “ Why—er—yes, I think so,” stammered the suitor. | “ But can you support a family 2” | “Gee whizz !
