This page combines several satirical elements typical of Judge magazine's format: **"Judge's Favorites"** features a portrait labeled about Norland, praising "grace and charm" alongside commentary on cooking—typical early 20th-century gender humor. **"In Darkville Society"** appears to satirize African American social pretensions through exaggerated dialect and character names ("Castor an' Castoria"), reflecting the racist caricature conventions common to period American humor magazines. **"Making a Raid"** cartoons depict children ransacking what appears to be an office or study, scattering documents—likely commenting on childhood mischief or disorder. The remaining sections include light social commentary and domestic humor typical of Judge's satirical approach during this era, though specific contemporary references remain unclear without additional historical context.

JUDGE'S FAVORITES. MISS RUTHIDA FIELDS IN "IT HAPPENED IN NORDLAND.” In Nordland! Quaint, quixotic land of mirth! There beauty dwells and grace and charm.

May de Lawd hab mercy on yo'r souls !” JULIET, THE COLLIE, AND. THE POTION SCENE, SEVERAL years ago I had an experience in Baltimore that I shall not soon forget. I am very fond of dogs, and my favorite is a Scotch collie that I always carry with me wherever I go; but by some mischance, while I was playing in the monumental city, the dog strayed away, and for three days we made futile search for the pet. We advertised, offer- ing big rewards, and were re- paid in the usual lost-dog fashion by having to inspect all kinds, breeds and descrip- tions of animals brought to our doors by persons eager to capture the prize, On the evening of the third day my collie was caught at a police- station on the other side of the town, and my brother brought him to the theatre, not think- ing to hold him in leash when he came to the stage-door. I was in the most trying part of the tragedy, the potion scene, when the collie, hearing my voice, made a bound for the stage ; and just as I was ready to take the potion he sprang toward me and, leaping up, placed both paws upon my shoulder. I was so glad to see the prodigal that I forgot my business entirely, threw my arms about him, and stood there hug- ging him within full view of the audience, It is scarcely necessary to add that the curtain had to come down.

It quite improves one’s little snack.” ALICE REID. und a pail in vich to ged it. und boy Chakey to blay dudy.
