What you’re looking at
This page contains two separate children's illustrated rhymes by "Zim." **Top cartoon:** A child named John expresses relief that he's outgrown being called by cute pet names ("Baby days"). Now that he has "manly growth," adults call him by proper names like John, Henry, Bill, or Grover—suggesting he's achieved respectable masculinity and maturity. **Bottom cartoon:** A moral fable warning children against disobedience. A young animal (appears to be a fox or similar creature) runs away from home without parental supervision. It's caught "guarding the preserve," tried by judge and jury, and condemned to "eternal fury" as punishment. The moral: obey your parents and don't venture into dangerous places without adult authority ("your master and his gun"). Both rhymes reflect early-1900s values: gender-defined respectability and strict parental authority. The content is typical of *Judge*'s family entertainment section rather than its satirical political cartoons.
