What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine consists primarily of **humorous anecdotes and jokes** rather than political cartoons. The content reflects early 20th-century American humor styles: **Main pieces:** - "Another Unlucky Brother": A tall tale about a chronically unfortunate rural man whose bad luck causes a train wreck - "Influence of Environment": A pun-based joke about a man's pets becoming intellectually affected by his home - "Kippered": A mild cultural humor piece about a French pastor misunderstanding Scottish breakfast terminology - "A Doctor's Trials": An advertisement disguised as testimonial, promoting Grape-Nuts cereal to exhausted physicians **The satire:** These aren't political—they mock human folly, linguistic confusion, and play on words. The doctor's piece is essentially an early **advertorial**, presenting product benefits through a supposed real account. The page is primarily **advertising-heavy**, with promotions for pianos, cigars, and the *Christmas Judge* publication dominating the layout. The humor is gentle, domestic, and focused on wordplay rather than social commentary.

ANOTHER UNLUCKY BROTHER. A rural correspondent sends in the fol- lowing story of + The Unlucky Brother ! Nuthin’ good seemed ever to come his way. He is the very sign-post of mis- fortune, warnin’ others on the life-road. Only the other day he clumb a tree to git rid of a mad bull an’ a hurricane come ‘long an’ blowed him an’ the tree ‘cross the railroad track, right in front o' the fast freight, an’ the train was wrecked, and the engine cut off his good leg ; and blest if the railroad didn’t turn round and sue him fer train-wreckin’ !" — Ad/anta Constitution. INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENT. “That Mr. Pshaw’s house has quite an intellectual and artistic atmosphere, has it not 2" “So much so that even the pets are af- fected with its current of mentalit “ How so 2” “His bull terrier is quite dogmatical, and even the cats are mewsical,""—Balti- more American. “KIPPERED.” A French Protestant pastor was the guest of a Scottish preacher at a manse. One morning kippered herrings were served at breakfast. ‘The French pastor asked the meaning of“ kipper.” His host replied that it meant ‘to preserve.” On taking his leave next day the French pas- tor, wringing his host's hand, said, “* May the Lord kipper you, my good friend."— New York Tribune, NO SAFETY ANY MORE. “ How in the world did you happen to be run over by the automobile ?” “Twas trying to dodge the ballast that the balloonist was throwing down."— Cleveland Plain Dealer. A DOCTOR'S TRIALS. HE SOMETIMES GETS SICK LIKE OTHER PEOPLE. Even doing good to people is hard work if you have too much ot it to do. No one knows this better than the hard- working, conscientious family doctor. He has troubles of his own—often gets caught in the rain or snow, or loses so much sleep he sometimes gets out of| sorts. An overworked Ohio doctor tells is experience : ++ About three years ago, as the result of doing two men’s work, attending a large practice and looking after the details of another business, my health broke down completely, and I was little better than a physical wreck. “suffered from indigestion and con- ht and appetite, bloating ‘and pain after meals, loss of memory, and lack of nerve force for con- tinued mental application. “I became irritable, easily angered, and despondent without cause. The heart's action became irregular and weak, with frequent attacks of palpitation during the first hour or two after retiring. Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas came for my lunch one day, and pleased me particularly with the result. I got more satisfaction from it than from any- thing I had eaten for months, and on further investigation and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and a| sprinkle of salt or sugar. | “My improvement was rapid and per- nt in weight as well.as in physical and mental endurance. In a word, I am fille! with the joy of living again, and | continue the daily use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often for the evening meal. The little pamphlet, ‘The Road to Wellville,’ found in packages, is invariably saved and handed to some needy patient along with the indicated remedy.” Name m: wudge BUBBLES, An ordinary jury seldom looks grand. The more you think of some people, the less you think of them. Don’t depend on your excuses until they are hatched up. You won't be short of money if you have the long green.

Schoolexaminer— What is the mean- ing of false doctrine ? ‘Scheol-boy—"* Please; sir, it's when the doctor gives the wrong stuff to the people who are sick."—Christian Register. We have been for a number of years person- ally familiar with the Sohmer Piano, and be- lieve it has no superior in those excellent qualities which make a perfect instrument. It is to be especially praised for its volume, rich- ness and carrying powers. No person can hear it played without being convinced of its superiority. ONLY ONCE. The woman who marries a man to re- form him seldom does it more than once, —Somerville Four nat. HE WAS A MAN, Rear-Admiral Evans spoke scornfully of a young man who married an old wo- man. * That chap calls himself a man, I su said the sea-fighter, * but 'Ppos« there are various definitions of the word | man, and the definition that would fit our friend best is the Peebles one. A Scot of Peebles said to his friend MacAndrew, +Mac, | hear ye have fallen in love bonny Kate McAlister.’ + Weel, Sander Mac ‘replied, +L was near—verry near— daein’ it ; but the bit lassie had nae siller, so I said to myself, ** Mac, be a mon. ‘And Iwas a mon, and noo I pass her by wi’ silent contempt.’ "—V.
