What you’re looking at
This page contains two editorial pieces defending democracy and social institutions against criticism. The left column argues democracy, despite current troubles, remains valuable and shouldn't be abandoned. The right column defends ice-skating as wholesome recreation, praising a performer (possibly named McClellan) as a skilled skater who brings joy to audiences. Below these texts is an illustration labeled "DEFINED" showing what appears to be a domestic scene with a couple, accompanied by dialogue: "Charlotte: 'Ah! what is life without love?' Crack: 'For married life, I suppose.'" This cynical joke about marriage reflects Judge's satirical tone—mocking romantic ideals versus marital reality. The specific historical context of these pieces remains unclear without publication date information.

But we miss dear old Dr. Hill, whose face is a never-fuiling beacon-light of joy. The genial old doctor is no longer skating, on the political pond, for, having wrapt the mantle of his greatness about him, he now lies down to pleasant dreams of retirement.
