This page is primarily a collection of advertisements and light humor pieces typical of Judge magazine, with no significant political cartoons requiring interpretation. The main content includes: **Advertisements** for whiskey (John Jameson, I.W. Harper), pianos (Sohmer), cigarettes (Milo), and insurance companies, using period marketing appeals about quality and tradition. **Humorous verses and anecdotes**, including "Florid Sentences"—a satirical poem mocking the notion (apparently from New Mexico) that gardening rehabilitates hardened criminals. The joke is the absurdity of believing that tending flowers could reform thieves, forgers, and wife-beaters. **Small items** like "Hound-Street Happenings" (local gossip) and "Nonsense" (brief puns). **A quote from Yale President Hadley** paired with a Prudential Insurance advertisement, linking moral ideals to life insurance—a period advertising strategy connecting virtue with financial responsibility. The page reflects Judge's typical mix of sophisticated satire for educated readers alongside commercial content.

Music, the poet has remarked, Has charms to soothe the savage breast, But modern science has embarked Upon a somewhat novel quest, And now we look to horticulture To civilize the human vulture. The tending of the tender bud And -watering of the infant leaf Eradicate a thirst for blood And turify the common thief ; The soul attuned to carpet bedding Another's gore will shrink from shedding. The trailing of the jessamine And guidance of the hollyhock Will rescue from the paths of sin The man who there once ran amok ; No naughty thought pollutes the cra- nium Of him who's nurtured the geranium, No forger e’er will forge again Who's watched the rose its leaves unfold ; Wife-beaters will from force abstain When they have sown the marigold ; No one acquainted with the crocus Could condescend to hocus-pocus. | Thy name, great Flora, we will hail As healer of our social ills, Since thou canst help our natures frail By means of pinks and daffodils. No criminal can well be * hardened" Who for a term of years has gardened ! —London Tribune. HOUND-STREET HAPPENINGS. Several of the kids on the street are having the chicken-pox this week, Misses Mattie Bennett and Elvie Weed, of Waseca, were visiting on the street all last week. Mrs. D. Hatch was one of the sick ‘ones on the street last week. As we did not report last week, we are a trifle late in reporting the arrival of a fine baby boy at W. L. Root’s, and_ will say the old man thinks him the finest baby in the world. He is also a baseball player, and will hold down first sack for the Hound-street baseball team this sum- mer. — Hound-street Correspondence of New England (Minnesota) North Star.
