What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* (a satirical weekly) contains several brief humorous pieces and advertisements typical of early 20th-century American humor magazines. The main cartoon depicts a **clothing dummy** complaining about standing outside all day without an overcoat—a visual gag playing on the absurdity of inanimate objects having human concerns. Other short pieces include: an anecdote about an **ostrich** sticking its head in sand to avoid seeing its hunter (a reversal of the common saying), and a joke about a **B-flat cornet player** requesting saliva as grease from the manufacturer—mocking musicians' reliance on saliva for instrument maintenance. A brief educational joke has a **teacher** asking Johnny Washington's farewell address, with the child answering "Heaven"—a simple pun. The page is predominantly **advertisements** for Gillette razors, Miller High Life beer, and other period products, with a "pretty auto picture" offer for fifty cents.

Weaty from the chase, the ostrich of| the desert had stuck his head in the sand. “ You silly bird,” said the hunter, com- ing up, “do you imagine I can’t see jou?” “You mistake my purpose,” replied the ostrich, with dignity. “Of course you can see me, but you miserable, feather- stealing, ege-hunting land pirate, 1 thus relieve myself of the necessity of seeing ou.” + Conscious that he had the better of the atgument, the ostrich yielded forty dol- lars’ worth of plumes without a murmur. —Philadelphia Ledger.

After the newly-organized band at Mor- rison had desisted from practice for a few nights the B-flat player found the valves on his cornet had stuck. He wrote to the factory asking what kind of grease to use on the valves. The house answered him, saying that cornet-players used only saliva on the valves and never used |grease of any kind, The B-flat player then wrote, “ Gentlemen—Please send me twenty- five cents’ worth of saliva, I can’t get it at the store here.
