What you’re looking at
This page contains several brief satirical jokes typical of early Judge magazine: **"A Good Man"** mocks landlords' moral blindness—a tenant is clearly abusive and criminal, but the landlord overlooks all this because he pays rent reliably. The satire targets how property owners prioritize financial obligation over tenant welfare or morality. **"Real-Estate Boom"** jokes about speculative fever in real estate, suggesting people buy land at places like "Wetlotts" (a pun on wet/swampy land unsuitable for building) purely on irrational hype. **"Porehanded"** and other short quips satirize parenting, marriage (mocking a woman's seven divorces), and dated topics. The page is otherwise filled with **period advertisements**: liqueur, Sohmer pianos, a printing company, steamship lines to Florida, and notably a dubious $2 "science of life" book claiming $100 value—typical of era's mail-order publishing.
