What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and light humor** rather than political satire. The main content includes: **Poetry/Verse:** "Nothing Wrong" offers motivational advice to discouraged workers ("my boy"), urging perseverance despite hardship—typical Progressive-era sentiment about self-reliance and work ethic. **Humorous Anecdotes:** Short jokes about: - A vagrant claiming to be an "unhappy medium" between light and heavy labor - A senator's quip about janitor assistance - An Oklahoma girl challenging boys to a corn-husking contest (displaying frontier spirit and gender role boundary-testing) - Dialect humor involving Southern characters and stolen chickens **Advertisements:** Dominating the page are ads for Pompeian Massage Cream, Sohmer Pianos, Iver Johnson Revolvers, and other products. **Notable:** The "Arrant Nonsense" section appears to be absurdist wordplay rather than satire. The Oklahoma girl's challenge represents curiosity about women's capabilities and the frontier, not deep political commentary. This is a typical Judge page blending genteel humor with commercial interests.

NOTHING WRONG. There is ome. at all the matter, my The world goes plugging along In the same old way from day to day, Singing her good old song.

There is nothing at all the matter, my bo; You have only lost your hold ; Get back to the life and back’ to the strife, Get back to your work's enfold, There is work laid out for your hands to do, So stick to your task with vim ; There is nothing at all the matter, my bo! — It's only your foolish whim.

ARRANT NONSENSE. If you saw a pink pug puppy playing ping pong with a pig, Or a great gray goose a-golfing with a goat, Would you think it was as funny as a big, brown Belgian bunny Blowing bubbles with a bishop in a boat? If a gormandizing gobbler gobbles goo- bers by the gross, Which he pilfered from a peanut ped- dler's pack, Could he earn his absolution by an act of restitution If he gave the Dago man his full crop back ? If a singing stegomyia stung a Jap upon the jaw And injected venomed virus in his veins, the microbe not prove sterile, since each one's a yellow peril, If the homaopathic theory obtains ?

THE TEST: Wash your hands thoroughly first—get them as clean as you can with soap and water. Apply the Pompelan Massage Cream, rubbing it gently firmly into the pores. Continue rubbing after the cream is absorbed and a minut more massage will bring it out of the pores together with the dirt that has accumulated there. After you have made this test you will know the truth of our statement that Pompeian Massage Cream is more than soap-clean. ‘Do you want to leave in the skin of your face that pore-dirt such as you just saw brought out of the skin of your hand? When the barber calls next" for you, tell him you want a Pompelan Massage after your shave. It takes out all dirt in the skin, removes blackheads and wri kles, takes away shaving-soreness, animates the circulation and makes your face feel fresh and alive generally. It contains no grease. Don't allow a substitute to be used on your face—it's risky. The imitations of lan Massage Cream are like most other imitations, inferior stuffs that could not stand on their own merits.
