What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising with scattered short joke snippets**, typical of Judge's format. The main cartoon ("His Preference") depicts a wealthy lady conversing with a vagrant who seeks employment—specifically desiring a cashier position with a blind millionaire, joking he'd face "no trouble at all." The humor relies on the implicit suggestion of theft: a dishonest worker assumes a blind employer couldn't detect embezzlement. The scattered jokes address contemporary concerns: a salesman's pitch to an illiterate customer, a young couple's romantic misunderstanding about "shooting stars," and a suitor arriving early to propose to a child (playing on the word "rush"). The rest comprises period advertisements for **whiskey, tea, coffee, rye, champagne, and tobacco**—standard consumer goods. One ad quotes "My Lady Nicotine," anthropomorphizing tobacco addiction as genteel. **Context for modern readers**: This reflects Gilded Age assumptions about class, gender relations, and "acceptable" vices, presenting alcohol and tobacco as sophisticated pleasures while depicting poor people as inherently untrustworthy.
