# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains three distinct pieces: 1. **"Judge's Favorites"** - A portrait of Vera Findah with the Lew Fields Theater Company, praising her opening-day performance. 2. **"General George Washington, A Practical Man"** - The main article recounts an anecdote where Robert G. Ingersoll (a famous 19th-century agnostic) visited Cincinnati and told Colonel about Washington refusing Continental Army payment, instead asking Congress for three thousand dollars in gold. The story illustrates Washington as pragmatic yet principled. The satire mocks Republican politicians' reluctance to associate with Ingersoll's radical religious views during campaigns, despite their political alignment. 3. **"Cheap at the Price"** - A cartoon mocking a bartender's claim that a Manhattan cocktail contains cherry from "the tree that George Washington cut down," playing on the apocryphal young Washington/cherry tree legend.
