What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** from Judge magazine (March 1906). The main items are: 1. **"A Bit of Alcoholic Autobiography"** - A humorous dialect piece narrating a drunk man's chaotic night of vandalism, fighting, and eventual collapse. The humor relies on exaggerated vernacular and the character's obliviousness to his own destructive behavior. 2. **"The Right Doctor"** - A brief joke about a man mistakenly summoning a veterinarian instead of a physician, with the wife's punchline implying her husband is animalistic ("a jackass"). 3. **"Wanted to Be Right"** - A short anecdote about a cautious Scandinavian maid seeking permission before ironing clothes, playing on ethnic stereotype humor. The page is otherwise dominated by **period advertisements** (Miller beer, Trimble whiskey, Pears' soap) and a notice about *Magazine of Fun*. The content reflects early-1900s humor conventions: dialect comedy, ethnic stereotyping, and slapstick scenarios.

In Haverhill, Massachusetts, according to the Boston Herald, there used to live | two doctors of the same surname. Dr. Benjamin E. Sawyer was a physician with a large practice. Dr. Nathan Saw- yer was a veterinarian, A man named Jones, after a week or more of imbibing, was very sick, and his wife, becoming | armed, sent the hired man for Dr. awyer. The hired man brought the | wrong Sawyer, the veterinary. Dr, Na- |than explained to the wife that he was skilled only in the diseases of horses, cat- tle and other animals, “I guess you can prescribe all right in this case,” replied Mrs. Jones. “Jones is a jac ass.” WANTED TO BE RIGHT. It was Tuesday morning. The clothes had been washed, dried and folded, and common sense pointed to the fact that it was ironing-day ; but cautious Scandi- |navian Tillie, the new maid, was not | going to make the mistake of going ahead | before being sure that she was right. Before committing herself to the obvious task, according to the Youth's Com- panion, she poked her head into the din- ing-room to say appealingly, « Meesis, I skuld like to speak something.” © What illie 2" Skal 1 cook some flat- asked Tillie earnestly Hira WiFE THE BEST MILWAUKEE BEER *JILTED® "I coud be hapoy with either, ‘Were ‘aber deat charmer eviay We will send this handsome picture, beautifully printed in sepia on heavy coat. ed pape, sutabl for taming, size 10 7-8 x13 7.8, securely packed, to any address in the United States upon receipt of price, ‘TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
