What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* (a satirical magazine) contains mostly **short humorous anecdotes and poetry instruction**, not political cartoons. The main content includes: - **"How to Make One"**: Instructions on writing ballades (French poetic forms), presented as satire on formulaic poetry-writing - **"It Ruined Him"**: A dialect anecdote where a farmer blames a pocket watch for his son's posture problems—satirizing superstitious causation - **"The Faith of the Boy"**: A joke about a senator's young son meeting Theodore Roosevelt's portrait; the boy finds his father more impressive than the President—satire on paternal pride and relative importance - Various other short jokes about watches, cooks, and mosquitoes The page also contains **advertisements** for Pabst Beer and other products, typical of period magazines. The humor is gentle, domestic, and non-partisan—standard Judge fare mocking everyday foibles rather than specific political figures or events.

HOW TO MAKE ONE. To build a neat ballade like this (Pronounce the word ** bah-lahd,” you know), You can't go very far amiss If you construct the thing just so. We'll take, to end this line, « be- stow,” Or any other word in sight, Whose rhyme and rhythm smoothly flow ; Ballades are easy things to write. Now let your word be « precipice.” It sounds all right. We'll let it go. Then here, perhaps, a sounding kiss May be succeeded by a blow. Now watch your blooming poem grow. Your Pegasus is in full fight— But this, somehow, suggests a “ whoa !" Ballades are easy things to write. Then next you try the word “ abyss,” ‘And follow it with + overflow "; Lug in some reference to bliss, ‘Or something as to Cupid’s bow, Or “marble brows,” of “driven snow.” ‘The process thus you expedite. This sort of thing is not so slow— Ballades are easy things to write. L'ENVOI. But here you've got to stop, although "Twere easy thus to grind all night. The object merely is to show Ballades are easy things to write. —Chicago Tribune, IT RUINED HIM. Quite recently into a railway carriage at Oldham stepped a young man, fresh from school evidently, and wearing his first watch, The very many proud glances which he cast on the gold chain raised a smile on|* the faces of his fellow-passengers. Apparently by accident, though mis- chief might have been at the bottom of it, he subject of watches was * brought on the carpe “Ah!” sighed an old farmér, giving the watch back to the young man, who had handed it around for the inspection of the company, “that theer watch minds me 0 my own son,” “How's that?” asked several passen- 3.

The four-year-old son of a certain western senator had a very high opinion of the importance of his father. The lat- ter tells how, on one occasion in their western home, the lad came across a magazine in which, by some chance, there were engraved, side by side, por- traits of the President and the senator mentioned. When the lad caught sight of his fa- ther's features he broke into a broad smi good, my son.” «Who's the man next to you, daddy 2" asked the youngster. “Why, my son !" exclaimed the sena- tor, “don't you know? That is one of the greatest men of the world, a man more admirable and more powerful than any king. That, my son, is President Roosevelt.” The lad again looked at the picture of the President. Then, after a thoughtful pause, he observed, “Say, daddy, the people in the east will be’ awful proud when they see the President's picture next to yours, won't they ?"—American Spectator.

FAIL TO SELECT FOOD NATU MANDS TO WARD OFF AILME! A Kentucky lady, speaking about food, says: “I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nervous prostra- tion set in. “ After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the necessity of some change in my diet, and I discontin- ued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape-Nuts with a good quantity of rich cream. “In a few days my condition changed in a remarkable way, and I began to have a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience. “My former attacks of indigestion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condition was dis- tressing with blind spells of dizziness, rush of blood to the head and neuralgic pains in the chest. “Since using Grape-Muts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have in- dulged in rich, greasy foods in quantity, then I would be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles originated I returned to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the pain and disturbance left very quickly. “Lam row in prime health as a result of my use of Grape-Nuts.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

There is no beverage more healthful and none more satisfying and refreshing than good beer. That is why we say that Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, the choicest of all bottled beers, should be in every home where things to eat and drink are valued according to their purity, clean- ness and actual food strength. | Before or with your meals it is appetizing and invigorating and at all times it is a cool, refreshing drink. Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is the supe- rior of all beers in cleanness and purity and also in food value. This is because of the Pabst exclusive eight-day method ot making malt, Malt is the soul and body of beer, and the richer the malt the more wholesome the beer. Malt is made from harley by a process of growth, and perect malt, Pabst eight-day malt, con- tains all the food elements of barley in predigested form. Most brewers grow their malt in four five - cent days, but four-day malt is an unnatural ‘ development and necessarily inferior be- cause in the rushed growth of the grain its vital food value is thrown off and lost. By scientific experiments and sixty years of practical brewing Pabst has proved that eight days are required to make per- fect malt. This gives the barley slow growth and all the food value of the grain is retained in Pabst eight-day malt. That is why Pabst Beer is so nourishing and strengthening.
