What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising-driven** with several short humorous anecdotes interspersed. ## Main Content: **"Lamentable Ignorance"** — A kindergarten comedy where a teacher asks children about cats. When she asks if a cat has "fur or feathers," a girl named Mary responds with scorn: "Gee, teacher, ain't you never seen a cat?" The joke satirizes the teacher's absurd question and the child's practical common sense trumping formal instruction. **Brief jokes** mock various social conventions: an ironmaster compared to a laundry foreman, the absurdity of labor unions among horses, and theatrical melodrama. **"Circulation Surprise"** — A substantial advertisement claiming *Judge* magazine reaches 100,000 barbers weekly with a circulation of three million. This advertorial boasts of the magazine's reach among working-class readers. The page's satire is gentle and domestic—poking fun at education, class pretension, and modern anxieties rather than political targets. Most content serves as filler between advertisements for champagne, cigars, soap, and medical remedies (including blood poison "cures").

It was visiting day at the kindergarten, and the young teacher was proud of her little pupils as they went through their drills and exercises, and beamed with pleasure at the appreciation shown by the visitors, who applauded generously. Then came the lesson, and the teacher announced the subject. “Children,” she said, “ to-day we are going to learn about the cat, and I want you to tell me what you know about it. Tommy, how many legs has a cat?” “Four,” replied Tommy, proudly con- scious of rectitude. “Yes; and, Daisy, what else has the cat?” “Claws an’ shyly. Various other portions of feline anat- omy were ascertained, and finally the instructor turned to one of the latest acquisitions of the kindergarten and said, sweetly, «Now, Mary, can you tell me whether the cat has fur or feathers ?” With scorn and contempt, mingled tail,” murmured Daisy | with a vast surprise Mary said, “Gee, teacher, ain't you never seen a cat?” And the lesson came to an abrupt end. —Buffalo Evening News, ALbott’s Angostura Bitters make the best cocktail for family use.

AT ALL FIRST-CLASS DEALER, Circulation Surprise F ‘ACT. For Men Who Shave or Get Shaved, or Deal in Shavers’ Supplies Arecent critical investigation covering the entire country, made by two of the largest advertisers in America who manufac- ture goods for shavers, showed that Judge was on file in more than go per cent. of all the desirable barber-shops in America. In the case of Advertiser No. 1, the renewal calls for just double the space on the last order (2,500 lines). Advertiser No. 2 placed an order in the Judge Company publications for nearly $10,000. The New York Sun, in a recent editorial, fixes the number of ‘certified barbers” in the State of New York at 20,000. ‘These proprietors employ from one to ten assistants, probably an average of four, a total of 82,000, and a grand total of 100,000 BARBERS Each one of these tonsorial artists probably shaves five customers daily. These customers while they wait enjoy the columns of Judge, making a circulation along this one line of THREE MILLIONS A WEEK This is only the State of New York we are talking about. Judge has an equally wide circulation in every State in the Union, in Canada, and, in fact, the world over.

And Judge will stand a pressure of sixteen pounds of steam to the square inch, and emerge gay and smiling as ever.
