# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several unrelated humor pieces typical of Judge magazine's format: **"The Price of Ghosts"** discusses spiritualism as a commodity—mediums charging fees to contact the deceased. The satire critiques how spiritualism had become commercialized, with "ghost prices" ranging from $2.50 to $5, treating contact with spirits like a financial transaction. **"We Are Seven"** and **"The Sweetest Meat"** are narrative humor pieces with no clear political content—domestic humor stories. **"One Song in Just the Right Key"** is a four-panel comic about a locked-out man without his latchkey, showing his increasing desperation to get inside his home. The humor derives from his escalating attempts. The page reflects early-20th-century middle-class concerns: spiritualism fraud, domestic mishaps, and urban living situations.
