What you’re looking at
This page contains several unrelated satirical pieces typical of Judge magazine's format: **"Coursing in the West"** depicts two cowboys pursuing a coyote on horseback. The humor relies on a pun: one cowboy bets the other that the coyote will never catch a rabbit—implying the pursuer will fail at their task. **"Disillusionment"** tells a poetic story of unrequited love, where a man seeks a woman named Fabiola in moonlight but finds only emptiness. **"Had the Evidence"** is a brief dialogue joke about umbrellas and borrowed items, playing on marital misunderstandings. **"Songs of Schooldays"** is a sentimental poem about summer vacation written in dialect verse. **"Pigs"** is a short visual gag about cleanliness. The page lacks coherent political satire, instead offering light entertainment typical of early 20th-century humor magazines.

COURSING IN THE Bill, I'll go you twenty that coyote never gets the rabbit — DISILLUSIONMENT. THEY sat in the quavering darkness of a clouded moon, The green waves, plashing into whiteness, told him that he loved her. How still the night seemed! Even the advancing tide did not disturb their rapture. And yet he had only met her within the hour. Even her name had escaped him. Suddenly, far out in the silvery night, from the wooden artificiality of a space used by the bathers, came a cry, reproachful, fraught with half-angry sadness : «Fabiola! —!— So that was her name! “Fabiola! —!—1— OF COURSE. SO YVHAT did they talk about in the mother's meeting ?” ** About all the time." ENTHUSIASM. 1, this is not an accident, So stop unseemly grins.

The sand behind them hissed un- Cer quick footsteps, and more harshly now sounded the strident call, «Fabiola McFadden, wull yez be afther wringin’ out thim bathin’-suits, an’ quick, too?” . . . . . . . Alas! The moonlight shrank to darkness, The fishers found him alone, dazed, distraught. © scnenex, HAD THE EVIDENCE. Irate father —" It beats all where my umbrellas go to.

BOSTON'S institute of technology is one of the most prominent insti- tutions in the city, and pupils in the public schools are sometimes asked to write brief articles about it. One day recently a teacher posted the school on the blackboard for his class of boys to write some- thing about it, and his spelling of it was certainly unique. It was as follows : «The school of tecknowledgy.” SONGS OF SCHOOLDAYS. (Song of the melirw heart at vacation time.)
