What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and light humor** rather than political satire. The content includes: **Humor pieces:** - "A Trick on Sir Morel": Anecdote about Sir Morel Mackenzie (a real Victorian-era surgeon), tricked into performing free operations in Antwerp by being told his patient died - "Ms. Gilder's Judicious Reply": Woman journalist's quip about Richard Watson Gilder (real editor of *The Century* magazine), who dismissively tells her the chief requirement for young women in literature is "postage stamps" - Brief joke items ("Saving Himself," "Over a Habit") **Advertisements:** Large product ads for Parker's Tar Soap, Williams' Shaving Soaps, Liquid Pistol (likely a firearm), and Evans bottle (depicted inverted). The satire is mild and personal rather than political—targeting individual figures and social pretensions rather than broader issues. This appears to be a typical Judge magazine page mixing gossip-style humor with advertising.

A TRICK ON SIR MOREL. The Belgiaris once succeeded in get- cut rates on an operation from Sir Morel McKenzie. He engaged to attend gease at Antwerp. When he landed he vas met by three men in mourning, who informed him, according to the Keader Yagazine, that the patient had died, but hat tiey would pay his full fee. * And now,” said the man, ‘since you are here, what do you say to visiting the ity hospital and giving a clinic for the henefit of our local surgeons ? It is not cen they have an opportunity of bene- fung by such science as yours.” sir Morel said he would gladly comply. He went to the hospital and performed many operations, among which were two asimilar nature to that for which he had been called over. When he finished, all thonked him profusely. On the steamer going home he met a friend who had a business house in Antwerp. “Pretty scurvy trick they played on ov, it Morel. «What do you mean ?” asked the sur- gon er «Told you the patient died before you arrive I.didnt they 2" “Lied.

A drummer by the name of John Dutton, who was stopping at a hotel in Mont: pelier, Vermont, when the legislature was in session, found his hotel, the Pavilion, was the headquarters of most of the rep- resentatives. When supper was announced the legis- lators rushed in and took their places, and began to call upon each other to pass the fool, saying, * Will the man from Bradtord please pass the rolls ?” or, Will the gentleman from Essex pass the pie 2” or, * Would the man from Portland please pass the butter ?” This did not suit the drummer, who had been unable to get anything, and during a brief interval of quiet he turned to the colored waiter and remarked, | Will the gentleman from Ethiopia please pass the bread ?"—Soston Herald.

CE ON THIS SIDE THE WATE! The persistent effect upon the heart of caffeine in coffee cannot but result in the gravest conditions in time. Each attack of the drug (and that means each cup of coffee) weakens the organ a little more, and the end is almost a matter of mathematical demonstration, A lady writes from a western state : I am of German descent and it was natural that I should learn at a very early age to drink coff-e. Until | was 23 years old I drank scarcely anything else at my meals. + A few years ago I began to be affected by a steadily increasing nervousness, which eventually developed into a dis- tressing heart trouble that made me very weak and miserable. Then, some three years ago, was added asthma in its worst form. My sufferings from these things con be better imagined than described. “During all this time my husband realized more fully than I did that coffee was injurious to me, and made every effort to make me stop. «Finally it was decided a few months | ago to quit the use of cee absolutely, and to adopt Postum Foud Coffee as our hot table drink. I had but little idea that it would help me, but consented to try it to please my husband. I prepared it very carefully, exactly accord:ng to directions, and was delighted with its de- hicious flavor and refreshing qualities. “Just so soon as the poison from the coffee had time to get out of my system the nutritive properties of the Postum began to build me up, and I am now fully recovered from all’ my nervousness, heart trouble and asthma.

A boy who had been working in a baker-shop for some time was just about to finish his trade, One night when the boss was gone he broke the marble slab he moulded his loaves on, so he went to the marble-yard to secure another, but could not find one. On the way back he passed a gravevara, and as it was very dark he jumped over and pulled up a small headstone about the right size and took it back and finished his job. The next day, after the bread had been deliv- ered, nearly all of it was sent back. The baker looked at it and broke several loaves open, but found nothing wrong. Then he happened to turn one of the loaves over, and found on the under side of every loaf the inscription, + Here lies the body of Mrs. ——. Born A, D. 1682, died A.
