What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* (a satirical weekly) contains miscellaneous humor and advertisements rather than a unified political cartoon. **"Flowers of Speech"** satirizes flowery, overwrought rhetoric in public discourse—politicians and journalists using melodramatic metaphors ("crumbs from the dissenters' table," "nailing lies to the mast," "thin end of the wedge") that sound impressive but obscure meaning. **"The Talk of the Day"** includes anecdotes mocking absurdity: a story about an Indian prince commissioning a portrait of his dead father (implying artists invent rather than observe), and jokes about a Cuban banker's theft and what occupies people after age 90. **"The Young Widow"** is a light poem describing an experienced, flirtatious woman—conventional Victorian-era humor about feminine mystery and calculation. The page is primarily filled with **advertisements** (Packer's Tar Soap, Herbert D. Shivers cigars) and humor columns typical of 1890s-era satirical magazines, reflecting contemporary social attitudes rather than specific political events.

FLOWERS OF SPEECH. Some one has culled these flowers of speech = ; \t an education meeting the other day a zealous orator reproved his fellow thorchmen for having so long been con- tent to * take the crumbs from the dis senters’ table lying down "! ‘A correspondentof a religious journal, sruicising a gross misstatement, insists on he necessity of “ promptly nailing all similar lies to the mast.” ‘A session or two ago, an Irish Liberal was reported to have said in the house of commons that by “letting in the thin end of the wedge of land nationalization the government were laying on all sides seeds of disease which would in the future bring down the whole edifice about their heads.” ‘A local correspondent of a church paver winds up his account of.a meeting held at a certain town by observing that it “must have been very disappointing 0 those who were working the orac that it * shows the whole movement is a false exotic which has been worked from London,” and that the townspeople " value the bubble at its true worth."—£. THE TALK OF THE DAY. Rossetti, the poet- painter, was once visited by an Indian prince, who said to him : «1 wish to give you a commission to paint a portrait of my father. “Is your father in London 2” asked Rossetti, “No; my father is dead,” replied the vriental. ~ Have you some photographs of him, or any portrait £” We have no portraits of him of any ind. “How can I paint a portrait of him, hen 2" asked the artist. ++It is impossi- bie! I could not think of attempting anything so absurd.” Why is it absurd 2” demanded the ince gravely. You paint pictures of ulius Caesar and Hannibal and John the Saptist, and yet you have never seen any them, Why can you not paint my uther "Exchange. + A MEAN EVASION, Silveira, the Cuban banker who gath- ered up all the loose money in the bank and ran away, in doing so played a mean trick on our rural detectives.

She is modest, but not bashful Free and easy, but not bold ; Like an apple—ripe and mellow ; Not too young and not too old. Half inviting, hast repulsing, Now advancing and now shy ; There is mischief in her dimple, There is danger in her eye. She has studied human natur She is schooled in all her arts ; She has taken her diploma As the mistress of all hearts. She can tell the very moment When to sigh and when to smile; Oh, a maid is sometimes charming ; But the widow all the while ! Are you sad ? how very serious Will her handsome face become ; Are you angry ? she is wretched, Lonely, friendless, tearful, dumb ; Are you mirthful ? how her laughter, S Iver sounding, will ring out. She can lure, and catch, and play you, As the angler does the trout. You old bachelors of forty, Who have grown so bold and wise, Young Americans of twenty, With the love-locks in your eyes, You may practice all your lessons, Taught by Cupid since the fall, But I know a little widow Who could win and fool you all.

Be- cause he is not doing anything except something which he likes to do. That is the reason so many really lazy people succeed in this world, because they con- fine themselves only to such things as they like, and accomplishing things for which they have a strong inclination is for them pleasure. A friend of mine told me once that since his childhood he had never had as good a time in his life as when he was recovering from typhoid fever and once, when he was stuck on a passenger train for thirty-six hours in a snow-bank out in North Dakota, That is easy enough to explain, On those two Joccasions he did ust what he pleased, jtook life easy, plaved carts, read con- genial hooks and had unlimited time for | talking about his hobbies. This man had been working at uncongenial pursuits all his life, and’ if he had just been lazy enough he might have ‘been enjoyir himself all his life playing while workin at what he really liked.— Duluth Ne: | Tribune.

EVEN WHEN THE FACTS ABOUT COFFEE ARE PLAIN. It is curious how prople will refuse to believe what one can clearly see. Tell the average man or woman that the slow but cumulative poisonous effect of caffeine—the alkaloid in tea and coffee —tends to weaken the heart, unset the nervous system and cause indigestion, and they may laugh at you if they don’t know the facts, Prov onstration in the recovery ot coffee-drink- ers from the above conditi ins, and a Large percent. of the human famil. will shrug their shoulders, take some drugs and— keep on drinking coffee or tea. “Coffee never agreed with me nor with several members of our housenold,” alady. ‘+It enervates, depresses and cre- ates a feeling of languor and heaviness. It was only by leaving off coffee and using P.stum that we discovered the cause and cure of these ills. “The only reason, I am sure, why Postum is not used altogether, to the exclu- sion of ordinary coffee is, many persons do not know and do not seem willing to learn the facts and how to prepare this nutritious beverage, There's only one | way —according to directions—boil it fully fifteen minutes, Then it is delicious.” Name given by Postum C »., Battie Creek, Mich. “Read the little book, * Tne Road to Wellville,” in packages. |" There's a reason. it by science or by practical dem- | The gay Welsh rabbit blithely skips And somersaults along, And leaves a joy upon the lips, And in the heart a song, Until, o'er tancy’s goliien seas, We feel, as on we sail, That any cheese is just the cheese When mixed with Evans’ Ale. This is too good to keep. One ot my New York customers culled on the President of a downtown bank, The banker was smoking, and, opening the drawer’ of his desk, said I will offer you a cigar that [would think pretty good | were it not for the price, but Uhate to offer one to a man without telling him that I pay only $5.00 per hundred for them, By this time the box was out and my customer, recog- nizing the brand, rephed: ‘Don't apologize, 1 smoke them myself. The cigars were Shivers Panatelas. The only difficulty I have in making business grow is to get men, that is, men who are ten and fifteen cent cigar smokers, to try my cigars. A man who has spent his life in tue leaf tobacco busi- ness and knows tobaccos as the silk expert knows silk, says that if the men who smoke in this country really appreci- ated whit you are doing tor the individual smoker, the cigar factory large enough for your business has not yet been built.” AIL ask is for a fair chance to have my cigars tried. offer a clean saving to you of at least 33% per cent. on your cigar bnils.
