What you’re looking at
This page is primarily advertisements and filler content from *Judge* magazine, with two brief satirical pieces: **"Too Many For Him"**: A racist joke about an enslaved or formerly enslaved Black man terrified upon hearing the state of Iowa named as his prosecutor, thinking the entire state opposed him. The humor relies on crude dialect and portraying Black defendants as ignorant and cowardly. **"The Blessedness of Receiving"**: A child's response to a teacher's lesson that "it is more blessed to give than receive"—the boy notes his father became wealthy as a "receiver" (likely referring to court-appointed receivership positions, sometimes corrupt), allowing them to buy luxuries. This satirizes political patronage and corruption. The page is otherwise dominated by period advertisements for Lea & Perrins sauce, Sommer pianos, Cook's champagne, Sunny Brook whiskey, railroad travel, and life insurance—typical of early 20th-century magazine content.

TOO MANY FOR HIM. ° An Iowa judge recently related an Lea & Perrins amusing incident that had occurred in Sauce this court when a colored man was | brought up for some petty offense. The charge was read, and as the statement, « The state of Iowa against John Jones,” was read in a loud voice the colored man’s eyes bulged nearly out of their |sockets, and he seemed overcome with | terror and astonishment.
